Q: Why are anticholinergic agents avoided & cholinergic agonists used in treatment of gastroesophageal reflux?
why are anticholinergic agents avoided and cholinergic agonists recommended in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux?

A: hi Lesli it is a good question but what do you think to use the selective specific to the target or the wider range drug with higher or even sometimes unknown side effect the anticholinergic if used not only have many side effect but also will not achieve the mission it will just block A ChOLINE just leaving the playground to adrenaline which in term will disturb gastric motility

Q: What is the natural treatment for acid reflux (Gastroesophageal reflux disease)?
I take drugs for treatment too.

A: “Drink about 1 gallon of filtered water daily. Normally, you should try to drink enough water each day to keep your urine a light yellow shade. However, when you suffer from acid reflux, more water may be necessary to dilute the acid and normalize the pH in your stomach.
Do not eat within 3 hours of bedtime. This allows your stomach to empty and acid production to decrease. If you don’t eat, your body isn’t making acid to digest the food.
Do not lying down right after eating at any time of day.
Elevate the head of your bed 6 inches with blocks. Gravity helps prevent reflux.
Avoid eating large meals. Eating a lot of food at one time increases the amount of acid needed to digest it.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.
Avoid fatty or greasy foods, chocolate, caffeine, mints or mint-flavored foods, spicy foods, citrus, and tomato-based foods.
Avoid alcohol. Alcohol increases the likelihood that acid from your stomach will back up.
Stop smoking. Smoking weakens the lower esophageal sphincter and increases reflux.
Lose excess weight. Overweight and obese people are much more likely to have bothersome reflux than people of healthy weight.
Stand upright or sitting up straight, maintains good posture. This helps food and acid pass through the stomach instead of backing up into the esophagus.
Talk to your health care provider about taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or medicines for osteoporosis. These can aggravate reflux in some people.
The methods above, along with high doses of quality probiotics go a long way toward restoring normal stomach function for most people. Cevan International’s Digestive Health Complementary Therapy provides the comprehensive nutritional defense your digestive tract needs in order to properly digest food and remain healthy.
Complementary Therapy includes Cévan Nutritionals®Veradophilus; formulated to provide a unique blend of five different strains of probiotic bacteria grown under strictly controlled laboratory conditions.

I have already gone by the doctors but I have not solved anything!

A: Ask your doctor to test you for a bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori

http://www.patienthealthinternational.com/helicobacter-pylori/?setSegmentation=true&disease=AZN100391&redirected=yes

It causes the symptoms that you describe and is very easily treated. I was treated for it several years ago and my reflux problems have not returned.

You may also have a hiatus hernia, which is also treatable.

Please don’t resort to homeopathy as it is of no clinical value and reflux needs treating properly or it can lead to serious problems such as malignancy.

Go back to your doctor and demand some proper investigations, including a test for H-Pylori. You can also ask for a gastroscopy examination.

Q: does anyone knw any info about omeprazole im doin a drug project in health and i need something intersesting?
*****DO NOT READDDD** ITS JUST THE INFO I GOT ALREADDYY.

Omeprazole
Generic Name: omeprazole (oh MEP ra zol)
Brand names: Prilosec
What is omeprazole?
Omeprazole decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Omeprazole is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions caused by excess stomach acid. It is also used to promote healing of erosive esophagitis (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid).
Omeprazole may also be given together with antibiotics to treat gastric ulcer caused by infection with helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
Omeprazole may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information omeprazole
Before using omeprazole, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have heart disease or liver disease. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication.
Omeprazole is not for immediate relief of heartburn symptoms.
Some conditions are treated with a combination of omeprazole and antibiotics. To best treat your condition, use all of your medications as directed by your doctor. Be sure to read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each of your medications. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor.
Take omeprazole for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor. Your symptoms may get better before the condition is completely treated.
Prilosec OTC (over-the-counter) should be taken only once every 24 hours for 14 days. It may take up to 4 days for full effect. Do not take more than one tablet every 24 hours.
Allow at least 4 months to pass before you start another 14-day treatment with Prilosec OTC. Call your doctor if you have additional symptoms and need treatment before the 4 months has passed.
Heartburn is often confused with the first symptoms of a heart attack. Seek emergency medical attention if you have chest pain or heavy feeling, dizziness, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, sweating, nausea or vomiting, and a general ill feeling.
Before taking omeprazole
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to omeprazole.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist about using this medicine if you have heart disease or liver disease. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication.
Some conditions are treated with a combination of omeprazole and antibiotics. To best treat your condition, use all of your medications as directed by your doctor. Be sure to read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each of your medications. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor.
Do not use over-the-counter omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) without the advice of a doctor if you have:
•trouble or pain with swallowing;
•bloody or black stools;
•vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds;
•heartburn that has lasted for over 3 months;
•frequent chest pain;
•heartburn with wheezing;

How should I take omeprazole?
Omeprazole is not for immediate relief of heartburn symptoms.
Take omeprazole exactly as directed on the label, or as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on the medicine label or on your prescription label.
Omeprazole is usually taken before eating. Follow your doctor’s instructions.
Do not crush, chew, or break an omeprazole enteric-coated tablet. Swallow the tablet whole. The enteric-coated tablet has a special coating to protect your stomach. Breaking the tablet could damage this coating.
You may open the omeprazole delayed-release capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow this mixture right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Discard the empty capsule.
Dissolve the powder in a small amount of water. Use 1 teaspoon of water for the 2.5-mg packet, or 1 tablespoon of water for the 10-mg packet. Let the mixture stand for 2 or 3 minutes, then stir and drink right away. To make sure you get the entire dose, ad

Q: THIS IS MY COLLEGE ESSAY, IS IT READY TO BE SENT TO COLLEGES?
I would like to share with you something about my current medical situation. Ordinarily I would not do so, as I am an intensely private person, but I now accept that my physical limitations have quite possibly impacted my high school performance in a negative manner, and I feel that it is only fair that you have this information. Therefore, I am reluctantly going to allow access to information that I would never, otherwise, speak of.

For the past several years, I have been afflicted by a physical situation that has sometimes interfered with my ability to focus, both in the classroom and out. I do not wish to be too specific about the symptoms of my disease, except to say that they are digestive in nature and sometimes require me to spend long periods of time in the Ladies’ Room. Despite my terrible discomfort, I refused to accept that there might be something wrong with me, and would not seek treatment. I know now that I should have been less determined to suffer in silence and more willing to accept help. Finally, my parents insisted on bringing the matter to the attention of a physician. I was tested, over a period of several weeks, for colon cancer, Crohn’s Disease, intestinal obstructions, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett’s esophagus, Heliocobacter pylori (commonly known as ulcer), celiac sprue (commonly known as wheat allergy), lactose intolerance, gallstones, bile duct stones, sclerosing cholangitis (the narrowing of the bile ducts), “Sphincter of Oddi” dysfunction and pancreatitis. You can imagine how relieved I was to learn that I had none of these terrible diseases.

Finally, I received the diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBS is sometimes known as spastic colon, nervous colon, nervous stomach, mucous colitis and spastic colitis, and is distinguished by abnormal bowel habits, such as diarrhea (loose stools), constipation or sometimes, as in my own case, both. It is well known to experts in this field that periods of stress can intensify the severity of IBS. I have certainly found my busy schedule of six honors/AP classes, Varsity field hockey, swimming and track teams, performing lead roles in three consecutive Spring Musicals, volunteering at the local animal shelter, tutoring at-risk children, and working three evenings a week plus all day Saturday at The Gap to be, at times, stressful, but of course it is impossible to say what has caused me to be afflicted with this very horrible syndrome.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS or spastic colon) is a diagnosis of exclusion. It is a functional bowel disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating, and alteration of bowel habits in the absence of any detectable organic cause.[1] In some cases, the symptoms are relieved by bowel movements.[2] Diarrhea or constipation may predominate, or they may alternate (classified as IBS-D, IBS-C or IBS-A, respectively). IBS may begin after an infection (post-infectious, IBS-PI), a stressful life event, or onset of maturity without any other medical indicators.
Although there is no cure for IBS, there are treatments that attempt to relieve symptoms, including dietary adjustments, medication and psychological interventions. Patient education and a good doctor-patient relationship are also important.

In fact, doctors do not know what causes IBS, or why people who share my disease feel the need to have a bowel movement soon after eating, causing diarrhea, or why the prolonged spasm of the large intestine causes stool to stay in one area for too long and get dried out, resulting in small hard stools (constipation). As of today, palliative treatments are only in the experimental stage, and the hard truth is that there is no cure for IBS.

It has been very difficult for me to accept this diagnosis at my young age. I do not know what the future will hold for me and other IBS patients, and I understand that I may be facing a long battle, but I am committed to facing this challenge with the same determination I have faced every other challenge in my life. I am not a quitter, and I am not a complainer, and you should know that, if I am admitted, I will never allow my illness to have a negative impact on my academic, athletic, charitable, creative and social activities in college.

A: It seems like all you really did was explain IBS. You threw in some nice details about yourself and your extracurriculars, but I think that you could have highlighted yourself much more.

I have IBS too, and everything you said was correct, but I just think it wasn’t focused enough on what you could add to the college.

Although there is no cure for IBS, there are treatments that attempt to relieve symptoms, including dietary adjustments, medication and psychological interventions. Patient education and a good doctor-patient relationship are also important. Several conditions may present as IBS including celiac disease, Fructose malabsorption,[3] mild infections, parasitic infections like giardiasis, several inflammatory bowel diseases, functional chronic constipation, and chronic functional abdominal pain. In IBS, routine clinical tests yield no abnormalities, though the bowels may be more sensitive to certain stimuli, such as balloon insufflation testing. The exact cause of IBS is unknown. The most common theory is that IBS is a disorder of the interaction between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract, although there may also be abnormalities in the gut flora or the immune system. IBS does not lead to more serious conditions in most patients. But it is a source of chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms, and it increases a patient’s medical costs, and contributes to work absenteeism. Researchers have reported that the high prevalence of IBS, in conjunction with increased costs produces a disease with a high societal cost. It is also regarded as a chronic illness and can dramatically affect the quality of a sufferer’s life. In fact, doctors do not know what causes IBS, or why people who share my disease feel the need to have a bowel movement soon after eating, causing diarrhea, or why the prolonged spasm of the large intestine causes stool to stay in one area for too long and get dried out, resulting in small hard stools (constipation).

HERES THE SITUATION

this question was posted:

I DID NOT ADDRESS HER IN AN ABUSIVE MANNER AT ALL–i have told people off who have attcked me first…I have always politely relayed my knowledge of fibro—from my extensive research into traditional and alternative methods…

so heres teh quetsion–who are these cyber police she refers to? i woudl like them to contact me

What is the best Medicine for Fibromyalgia?
Which is the best medicine for Fibromyalgia besides Lyrica I cannot take any NSAID’S Like Motrin or Naproxen because of GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease?

There were 2 repsonses:

the first from AL (not her real name)

Omega 3 Oils and Magnesium.

Get it from your diet as well.

Stop eating processed foods.

Stop eating fried foods.

Stop eating wheat.

Find an alternative source for calcium – stop consuming dairy products.

MY RESPONSE:

there is no best medicien–it is differnt fr every one

NSAIDS don’t work as tehri is no inflammtion

the otehr 2 approved meds are CYMBALTA and SAVELLA whicha re SNRIs–also other neds that regulate teh neuro transmitters

you cna try alternatives to LYRICA–other anti seizure meds–not helped me…

rela fms is a neuro condition–any treatment–even alternative neneds to focus of regulating teh neuro suystem

be carefula bout what people say cured tehm–fms is highly over diagnosed by incompetant docs–many are stiulll saying ther is inflammtion—people taht have been cured never had real fms

NOTICE TEHRE ARE ONLY 2 RESPONSES
each 1 has ONE thumbsdown

THIS IS THE SCATHING EMAIL I GET FROM AL (she does not allow email from me)

From: AL

Subject: You need to get a medical background job…

Message: …so that you can get registered to receive real medical information both in lectures and snail mail and on the Internet by paying for it.

One medical researcher doing “research” on YOU does not constitute peer reviewed medical knowledge.

Read “The Inflammation Cure ” by toxicology and immunology professor William Joel Meggs.

“Fibromyalgia” involves inflammation unseen by the naked eye. It is in the brain.

Get yourself a reputable neurologist – a movement disorder one. Have a gentetic screening test done and start making yourself healthy with food instead of advising the misinformed to take more drugs with many side-effects. Stay out of the sun.

Any good medical doctor knows that there are foods that promote inflammation and foods that reduce inflammation. However unscrupulous ones enjoy using uninformed ones as guinea pigs to try out new medicines and bogus, not peer reviewed treatments.

Diet does work. I am living proof. I have a progressive neurological condition as well as a medical background.

Stop hacking into peoples accounts and using multiple YA accounts to annoy people. I have reported you to the appropriate police unit for cyber crime in the past. They know who you are.

**********************************************************************************

here are teh real faxcts: FIBROMyalgia is accepted to be a neurologicAL CONDITION With NO INFLAMMTION–this theory is uphelp by teh top researchers around teh world

It is true taht diet willhelp optimize teh body and make it stronger to deal with teh Fibromylagia–and possibly help reduce teh symptoms

but it will not control fibro like AL claims…

there are many conditions that mimic fibro–and at least one of tehm will be comtrol with diet alone

i ahve particiapted in legitimate researc=h with world renowned resaerchers taht are published and peer reviewd

and her sattement about tehr beign invisable inflammtion is how shoudl i say it—in appropriate

so i could refute everything she said–with ACCPETED RESEARCH
i ahve never claiemnd to eb a medical professional (she has)

STOP HACKING INTO ACCOUNTS
( iw oudln’t if i copudl)

STOP USING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
(ther eis one otehr answer here–and one thumbs down–how does taht indicate i am using mulitple acounts–yes i ahve an old account–but only 1 i am currently using..i got a new email address due to sapm so i had to start a new account)

i have tried a fibro friendly diet–and got worse–so I am living proof taht diet doesn’t cure fibro
the quetsion is

who are these cyber police –i woul dlove to talk to tehm

sorry for teh typing–due to my diability
btw–filing a false police report is a crime in teh real world
i am in teh US–i don’t knwo where she is
jem–i wish you were –so i coudl report her to you..

her wild accusations just further prove that she is unstable and her information is just as crazy as she is

A: I am a cyber policeman and I know all about you.

Q: Will curing G.E.R.D. have a very large impact on breathing problems?
I have been considering Nissen fundoplication surgery for my hiatal hernia, and would like to hear from people that have already had this done. I want to know, specifically, if this surgery improved any of the respitory conditions associated with GERD.

Also, will this place any restrictions on my pilot certificate?

Here is a crap load of background about me:

At one point I had done everything the doctor told me, including eliminating food from my diet that aggravates the condition, loosing weight until I was within the “healthy” parameters for my age/height/fitness, altered my sleep angle, and was on Nexium, Previcid, and Gaviscon. All of these actions helped the condition, but did not eliminate the symptoms. In fact, the symptoms were still so bad, that I gave up on the treatments.

I have been suffering from G.E.R.D. for my entire life, as I was born with a hiatus hernia. I also have hyperhydrochlorhydria, which aggravates the gastroesophageal reflux disease, as well as causing Gastritis and similar symptoms in the lower GI tract.

As well as the common symptoms of G.E.R.D., I have also been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis as a child, and then later diagnosed with asthma as an adult. (it is believed that G.E.R.D. can cause asthma)

The spasms in my stomach as well as the acid levels have been much higher lately due to some increased stress. These increases have led to Laryngopharyngeal reflux, which seems to be causing sleep apnea like symptoms.

Once I can aford health insurance, I’ll happily go through the same process where the physician and specialists tell me to change my diet, lose weight, take drugs, so on and so forth. Eventually, i will have exhausted all the non-surgical options, and I’ll probably opt for the surgery.
RE: Sandy

Acutally, yes, I do have discomfort in my ears, as well as (gag) a lot of wax!

I’ve actually had fifteen reoccuring ear infections, as well as some vertigo and swimmer’s ear. According to Wikipedia, this can be connected to the GERD and LPRD
I forgot to mention that I have the “lump” sensation associated with LPRD, as well as throat pain. I decided to add these details as others had commented that they have these symptoms. Although it is not relavent to my question, I feel these added details may help shed some light on their conditions.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastroesophageal_reflux_disease for GERD info, annd look for the links for LRPD and asthma

A: Well, from personal experience I can say that, yes, it did have a great impact on my ability to breathe. Mine only flares up once in a while, but when it does, it gives me asthma. I am not allergic to anything and the feeling of not being able to breathe correctly while having the chest pain from the gerd was scary, I thought I was having a heart problem!!! Once I take the neccessary steps to get the gerd under control with my meds, better diet, and sleeping posture… then I can breathe free & easy again. I don’t have the hiatal hernia, so I never needed the surgery. I wish you good luck!

edit/// To “Sandy”: Yeah, my gerd did that too. It caused pain in my esophagus & throat… sometimes the pain shot up into my ribs, neck, and ears too!!! The nerves in my esophagus are weird like that. Sometimes, also, the acid that would come up at night would make my throat hurt and sometimes give me a hoarse voice & sore throat, which would affect my ears too!

A: I just recently completed my college application season and was accepted to an ivy league school. So, if you are looking to get into a top tier school I hope I can be of assistance! First of all, I am sorry to say that this essay subject is not appropriate for admissions.

However, all is not lost because after editing/shortening of this anecdote can be used in the section marked “additional info” on most college applications (particularly the Common Application) where you can explain circumstances that may have affected your grades/attendance etc. As for using as your “college essay,” I highly advise against this.

First of all, this essay is giving you the opportunity to express yourself about what you are passionate about, what kind of individual you will be in the context of their campus, and what dimensions you will add to their learning environment. This essay simply does not evoke the type of person you are outside of your diagnosis. In fact, despite the hurt that this syndrome may have caused you, its not a particularly unique or inspiring story when thousands of essays are clamoring to shine. The majority of your essay seems like an informative article describing what IBS is, NOT YOU! More focus needs to be on you! A simple conclusion that you are not a quitter will not suffice.

One of the most important tips I can provide you is this: Do not say “I am not a quitter or I am this” etc….SHOW THEM. Keep a balance between being clear and subtle. The way you respond to a certain event should be described ever so discretely to show that this is genuinely the way you are without blatantly saying I am this…shouldn’t the reader figure that out? And I have to agree that this topic is TMI and makes the reader somewhat uncomfortable. You say you don’t want to talk about it in detail and then later express your ordeal with every detail imaginable…making us feel as if you didn’t want to tell us about it but you felt forced so you could get admissions. We want you to express something you want to express and feel proud about.

Your essay should written to the point where if your close friends read it among a pile of other papers they could easily pinpoint that this one was yours

P.S. You should work on a stronger thesis! The first sentence did not command attention as it should when your competing with thousands of others for admissions.

A: Honestly, no I don’t think it is ready to be sent to colleges.

Right off from the beginning, it seems like you are making excuses for yourself. It may seem overly harsh to say but your first paragraph is very weakly worded and overly defensive about your possibly sub-standard performance in high school.

Your second paragraph seems contradictory to your first paragraph in terms of your word choice. You say “I do not wish to be too specific” while in your first paragraph you say ” I am reluctantly going to allow access to information that I would never, otherwise, speak of”. This negation of thought weakens the emotional impact that you are trying to go for in your essay.

As for your third paragraph, you should entirely remove the second half of it. Colleges will have your transcripts as well as your application so they will know everything that you have done. As a rule of thumb, you should never list all of your accomplishments in your essay. Your essay is supposed to be an insight into you, not you naming everything you have done. It comes off as bragging to those reading your essay, so stay away from it.

In your last paragraph you say “I am not a quitter, and I am not a complainer, and you should know that, if I am admitted, I will never allow my illness to have a negative impact on my academic, athletic, charitable, creative and social activities in college.” However in you first paragraph you wrote, “I now accept that my physical limitations have quite possibly impacted my high school performance in a negative manner”. If these things ‘possibly’ affected your high school performance in the past, then what is to prevent them from affecting you in the future? If, as of now, there is no treatment for IBS, then what will prevent you from being distracted in class.

I would say re-write your entire essay but you don’t have to choose a different topic. You could write about the day you got your diagnosis and how it felt. Stop making an excuse yourself through your letter, and use it to highlight what you have been though.

Although there is no cure for IBS, there are treatments that attempt to relieve symptoms, including dietary adjustments, medication and psychological interventions. Patient education and a good doctor-patient relationship are also important.[2]

Several conditions may present as IBS including celiac disease, Fructose malabsorption,[3] mild infections, parasitic infections like giardiasis,[4] several inflammatory bowel diseases, functional chronic constipation, and chronic functional abdominal pain. In IBS, routine clinical tests yield no abnormalities, though the bowels may be more sensitive to certain stimuli, such as balloon insufflation testing. The exact cause of IBS is unknown. The most common theory is that IBS is a disorder of the interaction between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract, although there may also be abnormalities in the gut flora or the immune system.[5][6]

IBS does not lead to more serious conditions in most patients.[7][8][9][10][11] But it is a source of chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms, and it increases a patient’s medical costs,[12][13] and contributes to work absenteeism.[14][15] Researchers have reported that the high prevalence of IBS,[16][17][18] in conjunction with increased costs produces a disease with a high societal cost.[19] It is also regarded as a chronic illness and can dramatically affect the quality of a sufferer’s life.

A: It flows really nicely . . .But I am unsure as to what the college asked you. What was the prompt in the first place? Is this a college entrance essay or is it another one of the essays that asks you to explain your “disabilities”?
If this is a college entrance exam that goes over something like “explain any physical disabilities/hardships that you have and how you overcame them” then you did a good job explaining your phsyical disabilities but you didnt do a good job explaining on how YOU cope with it. How did you win your battle with this disease? How have you come to terms with it? What have you learned about yourself when facing this disability? In fact you generalized it a bit too much. No one wants to know treatments, or what doctors think or what they can do. They want to know about YOU! So include some positives and it will look good.

A: The essay you wrote is just about 95% IBS. In otherwords, DOESN’T TELL THEM WHY YOU DESERVE TO BE THERE. Go back and redo the entire essay. Make it be a plain simple paragraph and part of the reason why you want to go. This reason is so pointless, I don’t even see why it should be a part of it. Klg.

A: You wrote a book report on IBS. It doesn’t talk about your personal struggle with it, just the general symptoms. It’s perfectly okay to talk about how a disability affected you, but it needs to be related to your own life experience, such as how you dealt with it, what you learned about yourself, etc…

Sounds like you are a junior, so you still have plenty of time to work on this, but remember, colleges will give you different prompts, so you need to be ready to write about different topics that may fit the prompt better.
