From heartburn - what helps?

Heartburn is a fairly common disease of the gastrointestinal tract. It is accompanied by unpleasant sensations in the stomach and esophagus, which are described as a small burning or sadness. If heartburn bothers you very often, then this is an occasion to go to the doctor of the gastroenterologist - perhaps erosion or even an ulcer has already developed in your stomach. But if heartburn does not bother often, then it can be defeated by folk and pharmacy means.

What is heartburn from?

Unpleasant sensations in the stomach and esophagus occur when bile gets into them. Ideally, bile should enter the duodenum located below the stomach. But for various reasons, bile can be thrown directly into the stomach, where it irritates the surface of the stomach and from this a person feels unpleasant sensations. Also, the acidity of the gastric juice can lead to heartburn. Gastric juice in its composition has hydrochloric acid, which irritates the mucous membrane. Let's repeat again:

With frequent stubborn attacks, heartburn can not be engaged in self -medication. Only a doctor can determine the cause and prescribe adequate treatment
