Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), H.Pylori, Heartburn:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which acid from the stomach flows up into the esophagus, often causing heartburn. The GERD symptoms can include heartburn, coughing, shortness of breath, and weight gain. H. pylori is the bacteria that is most often associated with GERD, and it has been linked to heart disease, stroke, and other problems. Treatment for GERD includes medication and lifestyle changes.
The most common cause of GERD is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is a result of the improper relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This weakness allows food and vomit to escape from the stomach and into the esophagus.
The most common source of the acid is food, but it can also be caused by smoking, alcohol, and stress. H. pylori infection is another major cause of GERD, as this bacterium increases the production of stomach acids.
Naturopathic doctors at Natural Health Clinic of Halton have been shown to be effective in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Helicobacter pylori, and heartburn. They use a variety of natural treatments, such as dietary changes, supplements, and herbs. They are also trained to diagnose and treat many other conditions. Naturopathic physicians may use dietary changes in conjunction with other treatment methods.
Naturopathic physicians are trained in the herbal medicine and holistic health disciplines, which include nutrition, botanical medicine (the use of herbs), homeopathy, and energy medicine. In addition to providing conventional medical services, some naturopaths practice acupuncture.
