New Information On Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Or Acid Reflux
By Groshan Fabiola
Gastroesophageal reflux also known as acid reflux or heartburn is a condition in which the contents of the stomach flow back into esophagus causing the lower part of the esophagus to become inflamed and painful and the condition in which this occures is known as reflux esophagitis.
Those who are usually affected by gastroesophageal reflux are those that are obese or have a hiatal hernia or scleroderma and in pregnancy.
The exact cause is the disfunction of the the lower esophageal sphincter, the lower esophageal sphincter opens and let the stomach acid contents to reflux. If you are eating very large meals, lying down within two to three hours of eating, and taking certain drugs including diazepam, meperidine, theophylline, morphine, prostaglandins, calcium channel blockers, nitrate heart medications, and anticholinergic and adrenergic drugs you are susceptible of developing gastroesophageal reflux. Alcohol, nicotine and caffeine aggravate the acid reflux.
Symptoms
One of the symptoms in acid reflux is heartburn, others are: painful swallowing, cramping, excessive salivation, coughing, shortness of breath, sore throat. Those symptoms are relieved when you adopt a n orthostatic position. You may also have a bitter taste in your mouth and can lead to reflux esophagitis, esophageal ulcer and Barrett’s syndrome which can further develop esophageal cancer.
Diagnostic
A gastroenterologist will perform some tests x-rays and barium examination, esophagoscopy, biopsy examination, manometry of the esophagus, the Bernstein test which deals with the level of acidity in the esophagus. Esophagus has an important role in moving the food down in the stomach with the aid of muscle contractions, at the lower end there is a specialized
I don't think it's news to anyone out there that one should avoid Network Solutions for domain registration and probably for anything else as well
The rest of my domains have been transfered away from Network Solutions.
The process wasn't hard.
It wasn't even really tedious,
it just took a bunch of waiting.
I would log into Network Solutions,
click past a bunch of needless notifications and upsells,
and request a domain transfer.
I would then get a chance to renew the domain for the low-low price of $19.95,
which technically is cheaper,
but still twice the price that my new registar,
Porkbun,
charges.
Click past that,
and I would have to wait up to four days in order to change my mind before Network Solutions send the transfer key.
You know,
to keep me from making a rash decision to stop paying them money.
Once I got the transfer key,
I would then transfer in the domain to Porkbun.
Network Solutions would then send an email 24 hours later,
informing me that I have four days to change my mind,
but I should talk to one of their ?transfer specialists? to help transfer my domain,
because Network Solutions is adamant that I don't rush into transfering my domains away from them and thus,
stop paying them.
Four days after that,
I would receive email from both Network Solutions and Porkbun that the domain
(or domains actually)
transfered over.
So the process was mostly a waiting game on the part of Network Solutions.
Now that I'm no longer using Network Solutions for domain registration,
I want to delete my account there.
Of course,
there's no link on the Network Solutions to delete my account,
you know,
to keep me from making a rash decision.
Nope,
I have to call to talk to an ?account specialist? to do that deed.
And it turns out,
there is no way for them to delete my account.
None.
Nada.
Zip.
Let that sink in?there is no way to delete your Network Solutions account!
They're damn adamant that I keep my account,
just in case!
The best I can do is delete my credit card information.
You know,
the same credit card information that you can't update what-so-ever.
In reality,
they have to manually delete the credit card information from my ?from now until the Heat Death of the Universe? account at Network Solutions.
Good Lord.
What a clown show!

muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter that is tight until the food is above it, then it relaxes to let pass the food and fluids.
This way acids, enzymes and other substances from the stomach do not come up in the esophagus to damage the tissue. It is important to drink milk until the esophagus has healed and you have no more acid reflux. There are some easy to make recipes that may be used during the period of recovery. Proton inhibitors drugs only mask the symptoms, so what I truly recommend are natural and healthy recipes. Acid reflux can be healed with herbs, meditation, exercise and diet, health store items.
Not chewing food properly and eating wrong foods determine the condition known as: esophageal reflux disease. In this condition the esophagus is damaged and the lower esophageal sphincter is weakened, the first thing to do in the healing of the esophageal reflux disease is to cure the esophagus.
The best solution is to continue treatment even if the symptoms are relieved, so as the condition will not return.
