Heartburn and Acid Reflux - Digestinol Research Blog

Many people have heard of Heartburn and Acid Reflux. You might even know someone that suffers from it, as these conditions are pretty common. But what you might not be aware of, is that these can result in long-term serious complications.

In this article, we’ll explain a little more about the seriousness of having to deal with Heartburn and Acid Reflux’s complications:

1. Esophagitis

Your esophagus is the tube that connects your throat to your stomach.

When someone suffers from Esophagitis, it means that their esophagus is inflamed, because there’s constant stomach acid in their esophagus. This leads to irritations or inflammation, such as esophageal bleeding or ulcers.

When having this condition, it’s very uncomfortable to eat food and even drink liquids. People have difficulty in swallowing and it often feels like there’s food stuck as you swallow. It’s also very painful. You may also feel pain in your chest when eating.

Esophagitis often leads to malnutrition and chronic scarring.

There are many types of esophagitis. A few of these include:

•Reflux esophagitis

•Cancer esophagitis

•Infectious esophagitis

•Barrett’s esophagus

Treatment varies depending on the cause and your doctor may suggest surgery or medication. Lifestyle and diet changes can also benefit someone affected with this condition.

Some people have reported not having symptoms of heartburn for many, many years until new complications occur.

2. Stricture

If your doctor determines you have esophageal stricture, it means you have an abnormal narrowing or closure in your esophagus. Those who suffer from this condition, usually have the same symptoms as having esophagitis, other symptoms include regurgitation of foods. We need food and liquids in order to survive, and when you have trouble and pain during the swallowing process, as you can imagine, it becomes extremely frustrating.

The main treatment for esophageal stricture is a procedure called dilation. This is when your esophagus is stretched by the use of an air-balloon or multiple dilators that are passed through an endoscope.

While many doctors are confident performing this procedure, there’s always the risk of complications.

These complications include the perforation or bleeding on your esophagus.

Also, if your doctor recommends this procedure, he or she will also inform you that within the first year, about a 30% of patients come back to have this procedure done again.

3. Barrett’s esophagus

The term of Barrett’s esophagus comes from the Australian-born surgeon, Norman Rupert Barrett, who for most of his career, worked as a consultant surgeon at the St. Thomas Hospital in London.

So what does this condition mean?

It refers to a change in the cells that make up the lining of your esophagus.

This makes your esophagus more vulnerable to developing cancer in some people.

Barrett’s esophagus is more common in people who are around 60 yrs. old. Now, don’t become alarmed just yet – studies show that the risk of developing cancer in your esophagus is less than 1 percent per year, so it’s rather small. Also, men seem to be more affected by this than women.

In order to confirm if you have Barrett’s esophagus, your gastroenterologist will suggest an upper-GI endoscopy. Patients diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus have to be monitored with periodic surveillance endoscopies and biopsies. Many patients that were diagnosed with this condition didn’t suffer from heartburn or other symptoms at all.

If you or someone that you know, are having the symptoms below, it is extremely important that you pay a visit to a doctor immediately. These symptoms include:

•Having chest pain

•Having difficulty in swallowing

•Passing black, tarry or bloody stools

•Vomiting red blood or blood that looks similar to coffee grounds

How can Digestinol help?

Digestinol is an all-natural supplement that helps support and promote digestive health as well as support your immune system. Its biggest benefit is the ability to target and reduce inflammation within your digestive system. Inflammation along your digestive system is one of the main reasons for pain/discomfort associated with digestive disorders. It can help with both constipation as well as diarrhea, because it gets your body back to normal so the amount of fluid in your colon is regulated the way it should be.

What is Digestinol?

Our product contains AMP (Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides) which is an all-natural molecule found in the aloe vera plant. It is known to enhance the body’s immune system due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. We have a 97-98% success rate reported from people who take Digestinol as directed for 90 days or longer.

If you are not interested in prescription medications to treat your condition and prefer a more natural approach, Digestinol makes all-natural capsules that contain a very specific form of Aloe Polysaccharides to target the inflammation along your digestive tract.

These capsules also provide your body with the nutrients that it is lacking in order to take back control of itself. Digestinol isn’t just Aloe Vera powder, Aloe Vera (contains Aloin) which irritates your digestive system and can cause diarrhea. Digestinol undertakes very specific additional steps in order to remove the Aloin during their extraction process to focus on only the beneficial portions of the Aloe Leaf, the long chain Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharide molecules.

Since Digestinol is 100% all-natural it doesn’t bring along the side effects that other chemically based prescription medications have. We tell our customers to think of Digestinol as an all-natural digestive system specific vitamin that reduces inflammation and provides your body with specific nutrients that allow it to take back control of itself.

Our Digestinol capsules will also help to balance the good and bad bacteria levels in your body allowing it to regain control of its normal operations.
