Gastric Reflux (GERD)

A Brief Guide to Gastric Reflux (GERD)

Gastric Reflux (GERD) refers to the regurgitation of acid stomach contents into the esophagus. The most common clinical manifestation of GERD is heartburn and acid regurgitation.

Symptoms of GERD includes heartburn, difficult or painful swallowing, sour taste in the mouth and frequent belching. Less typical features include chronic cough, hoarseness, sore throat and a sensation of fullness.

Obesity is thought to be a potential predisposing factor to gastro-esophageal reflux. Maintenance of ideal weight may help in reducing the symptoms.

Diet and nutrition are key factors for those who suffer from acid reflux or gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD), a severe, chronic form of acid reflux. One can prevent or relieve your symptoms from gastro esophageal reflux (GER) or gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) by changing ones diet. One may need to avoid certain foods and drinks that make the symptoms worse. Other dietary changes that can help reduce symptoms include decreasing fatty foods, eating small, frequent meals instead of three large meals and avoiding very spicy food.

The Basic Concept of Nutrition From A Nutritionist’s Desk!

Very late in the day I realized that Nutrition was my calling. As all women I suffered midlife crisis with ample time on my hands
and nothing meaningful to do. I do not have an inspiring story about astonishing weight loss or a dramatic before after scenario. But I was passionate about food and eating. I also truly believed health is wealth and I know this sounds quite contradictory. Once I started my studies all my doubts began to clear and I realized that in the world of medicine and nutrition, nothing can be the gospel truth. New researches and Studies are being conducted everyday and what was unhealthy yesterday could be healthy today.

Earlier I was completely unaware of the basic concepts of nutrition as most people are. We always confused with caloric intake without knowing the difference between healthy, nutritious calories and unhealthy calories. For e.g.- people will consume all kind of junk and unhealthy food but if you tell them to consume a piece of cheese, the classic response would be “ohh but isn’t that fattening?” People consume samosas and other fried food in recycled spoiled oil or puchkas with the most unhygienic water but if u ask them to consume a protein supplement the first question they would ask is does it have any side effects?

In whichever little way if I can change people’s mindset I would feel I have achieved my purpose and I have been extremely lucky to have excellent teachers and mentors.
