Some people are diagnosed as having silent reflux. They don’t exhibit the same classic heartburn GERD symptoms such as burning feeling or pain in the cheat area. They actually experience something completely different.
What they often complain about is hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, chronic cough or a bitter taste in the mouth.
In infants, most acid reflux cases will resolve by 12 months of age and do not necessarily require treatment. Babies are more likely to have a weak LES because it hasn’t fully developed yet. This makes that muscle more relaxed when it should stay shut.
Diagnosis is difficult since they can’t properly articulate or express how they feel.
When you have acid reflux, you know exactly which foods trigger symptoms or worsen them and which foods are safe.
But what if your gluten intolerance is behind your recent heartburn episodes ?
There are fats that heal and fats that kill.
Although good fats (omega-3 fatty acids, olive oil, canola oil) in small quantities are essential for many of the body’s functions, consuming too much fat such as saturated fats and especially those from the bad kind (hydrogenated fats or refined oils) can cause chronic diseases (cancer, stroke, heart disease) and numerous digestive problems.
Did you know that there isn’t another food that you can possibly consume that will be more beneficial to reducing acid reflux and heartburn than BEEF?
