GERD Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease
A reader asked some questions about acid reflux. Let me begin with how we are put together. The esophagus is a muscular
tube that delivers food from the mouth through the chest cavity to the stomach. It enters the abdominal cavity using an
OUTDOOR HEAT
opening called the diaphragmatic hiatus (that is where the term hiatal hernia comes from). This opening acts like a valve to

prevent back-wash of food and liquid up into the esophagus. When we eat, a surge of hydrochloric acid is released. This acid
is needed to convert the pre-enzyme pepsinogen into pepsin which then is used to reduce protein into poly-peptides which Available
later are broken down into peptides, then to amino acids which we can use. The lining of the stomach is covered with a layer
of mucus to protect it from the stomach acid. During the acid surge, the stomach acidity is similar to battery acid. The lining
of the esophagus does not have the protective mucus lining. Acidic stomach juice refluxing back up into the unprotected
esophagus is what causes most of the problems with GERD.
Causes of GERD may be hereditary with a genetically weak valve or weak esophageal muscles, but mostly, however, it is
mechanical. Coughing will intermittently push the stomach up through the hiatus, stretching and weakening the valve action of
the hiatus. A big belly will mechanically push the stomach up through the hiatus when lying down or bending over. If your meal

is too large, there will not be enough enzymes to pre-digest all the protein and some of it will begin to putrefy causing gas.
This will create back pressure on the hiatus, pushing liquids up into the esophagus. Gas forming yeast and bacteria may also be
a contributing factor. Nicotine, Caffeine, Alcohol, and Stress all cause acid production when no food is present, contributing
to this problem. “Grand Rapids isn’t
Some people with GERD, especially the older crowd, actually do not have enough acid. You can test this by taking a
