GASTRIC REFLUX
Gastric reflux is much known in medical field as gastro
esophageal reflux disease. It is the back-flow of gastric or duodenal contents into the esophagus. It is known
to be normal in adult and children. Excessive reflux occurs because of incompetent lower esophageal sphincter
or a motility disorder. Manifestations may include pyrosis (burning sensation in the esophagus), dyspepsia
(indigestion), regurgitation, dysphasia (difficulty swallowing) hyper salivation and esophagitis (inflammation
of esophagus). The symptoms may mimic those of heart attack. Management may include eating a lof-fat diet,
avoid caffeine, tobacco, beer, milk, foods containing peppermint, carbonated drinks and avoid eating or
drinking 2 hrs before bedtime. If medical intervention failed, then surgical intervention may be necessary.
