Digestive Disorders
Digestive Disorders can be confusing! Here are some definitions.
Remember that it is always best to consult your doctor for advice on chronic digestive problems that do not respond to changes in diet and lifestyle.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - also known as 'spastic colon' is one of the most common chronic health disorders in the world and affects up to 20% of the population. It is a dysfunction of the bowel and large intestine, causing lower abdominal pain, cramping, constipation and diarrhea. Causes have not been conclusively identified, but are thought to involve problems in communication between the bowel and the brain.
Crohn's Disease - is one of the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. It causes inflammation in the digestive tract (usually the small intestine), resulting in chronic pain and diarrhea. There may also be rectal bleeding, weight loss and even fever. There are different theories about what causes Crohn's Disease, but many doctors believe that the immune system reacts to a virus or a bacterium, causing chronic inflammation in the intestine. Crohn's Disease tends to run in families.
Diverticulosis - is a condition in which 'pockets' or diverticula form on the wall of the colon or the large intestine, usually on the left side. This is a result of weaknesses in the bowel wall. Symptoms include left lower abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramps, changes in bowel habits or even rectal bleeding . Diverticulosis is associated with a diet high in processed foods and low in fibre and fluids. Diverticulitis occurs when there is an infection in the 'pockets' or diverticula of the intestinal wall. Diverticulosis can be effectively treated by increasing dietary
fiber and fluid intake and using herbs to soothe and tone the lining of the digestive tract.
Ulcerative Colitis - is also an Inflammatory Bowel Disease and is associated with inflammation and ulcers in the inner lining of the colon and rectum. People who suffer from ulcerative colitis usually alternate between periods of flare ups and remission, often influenced by stress, diet or illness. Symptoms include rectal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping and an urgent need to empty the bowels.
Gastritis - is an inflammation of the stomach lining. It may be caused by eating spoiled food, by bacteria, viruses, by certain chemicals, as well as by stress and lifestyle factors. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea and cramps. Gastritis may be acute or chronic. People who suffer from chronic gastritis should investigate dietary changes, stress management and removal of alcohol, cigarettes and spices.
GERD - or Acid Reflux Disease - is a condition in which the stomach acid 'backs up' or refluxes into the
esophagus due to dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter. This causes pain and burning, often called heartburn - although it has nothing to do with the heart. While we all have heartburn at some stage, persistent heartburn (more than two or three episodes a week) may suggest Acid Reflux Disease. Other symptoms include a sour taste in the mouth, swallowing difficulties, upset stomach and even coughing and hoarseness. Some causes of Acid Reflux Disease, or
GERD, include a hiatal hernia, obesity, smoking, alcohol abuse and certain foods. Symptoms can be greatly relieved or prevented by lifestyle and dietary changes as well as the use of herbs known to promote healthy digestion. If symptoms persist, it is always wise to consult your doctor to prevent further complications.
Heartburn, Indigestion, acid reflux, gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation - are all symptoms which we experience from time to time. If you are occasionally troubled by these symptoms, you can obtain quick relief by using Native Remedies DigestAssist Drops, especially formulated for rapid relief of uncomfortable digestive complaints. If you have these symptoms regularly, this may indicate incorrect diet, unhealthy lifestyle or one of the conditions described above.

Proton Pump Inhibitors For Treating Heartburn and Acid Reflux
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a group of prescription medications that prevent the release of acid in the stomach and intestines. Doctors prescribe PPIs to treat people with heartburn (acid reflux), ulcers of the stomach or intestine, or excess stomach acid (Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome).
Aciphex is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Aciphex works by blocking acid production in the stomach. Aciphex may be used in combination with antibiotics including amoxicillin or
Clarithromycin to treat certain types of ulcers. Aciphex may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Cimetidine is a histamine blocker used to treat and prevent ulcers. Cimetidine is also used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Cimetidine may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Metoclopramide HCl is a gastrointestinal stimulant used to treat gastroesophageal reflux and erosions/ulcers of the esophagus. Metoclopramide HCl is also used to treat nausea, vomiting, heartburn, prolonged fullness after meals, and loss of appetite in patients with diabetes (diabetic gastroparesis). Metoclopramide HCl may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Nexium is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat heartburn, or gastroesophageal reflux. Nexium may be used in combination with two antibiotics to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and duodenal ulcers. Nexium may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Pepcid is a histamine blocker used to treat and prevent ulcers. Pepcid is also used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Pepcid may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Prevacid is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Lansoprazole may also be used to treat ulcers due to long-term use of certain pain/anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Prevacid works by blocking acid production in the stomach. Prevacid may be used in combination with antibiotics (e.g.,
Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin) to treat certain types of ulcers. Prevacid may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Prilosec is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat ulcers, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux, or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Prilosec works by blocking acid production in the stomach. Prilosec may be used in combination with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin,
Clarithromycin) to treat certain types of ulcers. Prilosec may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Protonix decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is used to treat damage to the esophagus associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid production.
Sompraz (Esomeprazole, Generic Nexium).
Uses: The uses of SOMPRAZ (Esomeprazole, Generic Nexium)
include: NEXIUM can heal the erosions in your esophagus. The
tube that carries food from your throat to your stomach.
Erosions may be caused over time by acid churning up from the
stomach and wearing away the delicate lining of the esophagus.
This condition is called erosive esophagitis.
Rabicip (Rabeprazole Sodium, Aciphex)
Uses: The uses of RABICIP (Rabeprazole Sodium, Aciphex) include:
Rabeprazole / Aciphex is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat certain conditions in which there is too much acid in the stomach. It is used to treat duodenal ulcers and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which the acid in the stomach washes back up into the esophagus. Rabeprazole / Aciphex is also used to treat Zollinger-Ellison disease, a condition in which the stomach produces too much acid.
Ranitidine HCl is a histamine blocker used to treat and prevent ulcers. Ranitidine HCl is also used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Ranitidine HCl may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Tagamet is a histamine blocker used to treat and prevent ulcers. Tagamet is also used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Tagamet may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Zantac is a histamine blocker used to treat and prevent ulcers. Zantac is also used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD) is a disorder in which
contents of the stomach or small intestine repeatedly move back
up into the esophagus (tube connecting the throat to the
stomach). This regurgitating action is called reflux. Reflux
causes heartburn, and although most people have an attack of
heartburn at some point in their lives, persistent reflux and
severe heartburn may indicate GERD.
Medications
The main aim of drug treatment is to control the acidity of the
stomach. This can be achieved with either nonprescription or
prescription drugs, depending on the severity and frequency of
your reflux. Your doctor will determine which medicine is best
for you.
There are several different types of medications used for GERD,
and each works in a different way. Over-the-counter antacids
neutralize the stomach acids; histamine H2 blockers interfere
with the production of acid; and proton pump inhibitors suppress
molecules in the glands responsible for the release of acid.
Avoid taking other medications within three hours of an antacid
because antacids may limit the absorption of other drugs.
• Over-the-counter antacids -- typically recommended for mild
symptoms of GERD; most brands are a combination of three active
ingredients: magnesium salts (often combined with aluminum to
prevent diarrhea); calcium carbonate (effective and fast-acting,
but may cause constipation); and aluminum salts (may also cause
constipation and excessive use may cause calcium loss).
• Histamine H2 receptor blockers (such as cimetidine,
famotidine, nizatidine, and ranitidine) -- relieve symptoms for
6 to 24 hours; usually taken at bedtime. These are available
both over the counter and by prescription. The prescription
forms are more potent.
• Proton pump inhibitors (including esomeprazole, lansoprazole,
omeprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole) is the most effective
class of drugs for relieving symptoms of GERD; these drugs also
speed the healing of the esophagus.
• Prokinetic agents – specifically metoclopramide, which
promotes movement of stomach acids along the gastrointestinal
tract, rather than backing up into the esophagus.

Acid and Digestive Disorders: Breaking the Vicious Circle
By Maria Dolgova
THE RISK
The primary symptom of acid reflux is obvious to those who have it.
During the digestive process, acid flows up into the throat and causes a
burning sensation. This is caused by a breakdown in the valve that
separates the stomach from the esophagus. It’s an indication that the
acid-alkaline balance in the digestive tract has been disrupted. Unless
that balance is restored, any attempt to treat or correct the acid
reflux problem will provide nothing more than short-term relief.
The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract is often the result of
eating the wrong types of food. Acid is not caused only by excessive
consumption of junk food. Anything processed or overloaded with
additives can upset the acid-alkaline balance in the digestive system.
Even foods that you think are healthy can be highly acidic.
In a digestive tract that’s already out of balance, something as
simple as cooking your food can lead to further problems. Cooking
destroys natural enzymes in the food that assist with digestion. When
your digestive system is unable to produce the necessary enzymes for
digestion, the loss of natural enzymes makes the problem worse.
Lifestyle also contributes to digestive disorders. Stress intensifies
hyperacidity. Blood is diverted away from the stomach to the heart,
lungs and muscles for the “fight or flight” response. The stomach is
deprived of necessary oxygen and nutrients and cannot form sufficient
enzymes for proper digestion.
THE DAMAGE
Acid reflux irritates and swells the mucous lining in the throat,
esophagus and stomach, which disrupts the digestive process. The
irritation can form ulcers. The acid-alkaline balance of the digestive
tract is also upset, leading to further accumulation of acid.
The intestines are affected even more severely. Unlike digestion in the
stomach, the intestinal digestive process is meant to be alkaline, not
acidic. Therefore, the intestinal walls do not have a thick mucous
lining that protects from acid as the stomach does. The intestinal walls
are meant to facilitate the absorption of nutrients into the
bloodstream.
When acid inflames the intestinal walls, it disrupts the acid/alkaline
balance of the digestive tract. It kills off the friendly bacteria that
aid in digestion – friendly bacteria that are no longer present in
much of our food supply. The intestinal inflammation also slows down
peristalsis, the contraction of the colon that pushes food along the
intestinal tract. Undigested food particles putrefy and lead to greater
accumulation of acid.
The liver and gallbladder are also affected. When the liver becomes
overloaded with acidic waste that it can’t eliminate, it crystallizes
bile and acid waste into gallstones. The gallbladder has difficulty
releasing bile, which inhibits proper digestion and further slows
peristalsis. Acid levels continue to rise, the liver becomes damaged,
and all other body organs become vulnerable to deterioration.
Degenerative disease sets in.
THE BENEFITS OF A BALANCED pH
The best way to restore pH balance to your digestive tract is to
eliminate foods that cause acid reflux. This also means identifying and
eliminating foods that cause an allergic response.
Certain raw foods and whole foods and the right combination of vegetable
juices can heal the digestive tract lining and eliminate further
accumulation of acid waste. They can heal and prevent the formation of
ulcers.
Supplements that replace the friendly bacteria and the digestive enzymes
destroyed by acid can also help.
If you truly want to change and help your body
heal itself you need to take a proactive approach. Don’t expect to
feed your body processed foods, not exercise, then pop a pill and be all
better… it just doesn’t work that way. If you want to bring your
body into pH balance then you need a complete approach. A great place to
start is the Immersion Kit, you can learn more by going to

Heartburn 101
Lifestyle Changes: One of the first steps doctors advice their
patients to take when treating chronic heartburn is lifestyle changes.
Heartburn symptoms can often be relieved if sufferers make a few of
these lifestyle changes.
Diet: Approximately 94 percent of sufferers can link their heartburn symptoms to specific foods. Therefore, it is important that heartburn suffers manage their diets as a way to treat their heartburn. There are foods that are usually pretty safe for heartburn sufferers to eat, that have little risk of causing acid reflux, while other foods should be avoided as they are major heartburn triggers.
Over the Counter: This type of drug works by decreasing the amount of
acid the stomach produces, and is used to treat conditions in which the
stomach produces too much acid and conditions in which acid comes up
into the esophagus and causes heartburn, such as gastroesophageal reflux
disease, or (also known as acid reflux disease).
Prescription Medications:
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a group of prescription medications
that prevent the release of acid in the stomach and intestines. Doctors
prescribe PPIs to treat people with heartburn (acid reflux), ulcers of
the stomach or intestine, or excess stomach acid (Zollinger-Ellison
Syndrome).
Alternative Treatments:
For many chronic acid reflux sufferers, they want an alternate,
natural way of treating their acid reflux. These range from folk and
homeopathic remedies to healthy diets to lifestyle changes.

Alternative and Home Remedies for Heartburn
Nissen Fundoplication:
The laparoscopic surgery for treatment of GERD, fundoplication,
involves constructing a new "valve" between the esophagus and
the stomach by wrapping the upper portion of the stomach (the fundus)
around the lowest port of the esophagus. This site details that
procedure, and it's aftermath.
