Natural Cure For Acid Reflux

Q.I am suffering from server heartburn and I want to take an all natural supliment approach. I want to find the best all natural products that I can take to rectify these problems. What are the best natural treatments for sever heartburn, bloatedness, chest pain? so can anyone in the group help me please?

A.Chronic heartburn, also known as GERD (Gastric esophageal reflux disease). Lifestyle and diet can increase your chance of heartburn. Heavy greasy meals, caffeine, being overweight, smoking, drugs and hormones can all stimulate excess stomach acid. A hiatal hernia is also often seen in GERD, and can delay stomach emptying with a resultant decreased acid clearance. You’re smart to want to stop acid reflux, as it can eventually erode your esophagus, possibly causing cancer and/or bleeding. Chest pain may indicate something more serious than heartburn, and I urge you to be seen by a licensed physician. Gastritis (irritation of the stomach lining) can cause lots of heartburn too, so it would be a good idea to be checked for H. pylori, a bacteria that causes gastritis and ulcers. “Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria. Researchers believe that H. pylori is responsible for the majority of peptic ulcers. H. pylori infection is common in the United States: About 20 percent of people under 40 years old and half of those over 60 years have it. Most infected people, however, do not develop ulcers. Why H. pylori does not cause ulcers in every infected person is not known. Most likely, infection depends on characteristics of the infected person, the type of H. pylori, and other factors yet to be discovered.
