Keep your baby against GERD
Since the 1990s, infant reflux gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid increased. By Recent data, children between the ages of 3 and 7 suffer from acid reflux symptoms between 2 and 8% of the time, and for infants, the percentage increases suffering 20%. Children with neurodevelopmental disabilities or type are at increased risk of GERD.
Before telling the reasons and the risks of GERD in infants, we will briefly discuss the case, both local and immediate basis of this disease. It is clear that acid reflux is a malfunction of the digestive system. Weakening SLE is the most common cause for this purpose. The IOS is the lower esophageal sphincter. When he is not strong enough to keep all content the stomach into the stomach, then the contents of the throat and beyond the larynx into the upper airway. This condition may also occur in normal LES pressure, such as after meals, crying, from toilet and cough. But it can also have serious health complications involved, such as infections, ulcers, pain, feeding problems, problems with voice, sometimes even cancer.
In infants, the diagnosis of GERD can be particularly difficult because the small reservoir in the esophagus, children vomit or regurgitate more than adults. many children are exposed to this type of vomiting in the form regular, mild to moderate "spitting", is without anguish of the mouth or nose. Because of GERD and normal vomiting easily confused. Added to this was an indication something bad can be difficult to identify, especially because children are too young to be able to explain.
When your baby has gastroesophageal reflux, a number of additional symptoms appear. For instance, as GERD vomiting causes pain, babies who vomit too often, mourn or cry or stay awake for hours all the time, could suffer. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, enlargement of the adenoids, cough repeatedly, middle ear infections, asthma, anemia, vomiting blood (called hematemesis), acute respiratory noise, croup, which is repetitive, causing the rear and nose swollen and / or sinuses sinus.
The risk of acid reflux in infants is neglected because it can cause serious complications? An infant diet that combines the undeniable pain breastfeeding feeding and weight loss. Conditions potentially as severe erosive esophagitis may also be due to disease and reflux esophagitis. For this reason, the diagnosis and treatment are necessary to ensure that your baby is safe. Seeing a gastroenterologist or otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat) doctor is the best way to get a verifiable diagnosis for your child.
If the diagnosis of GERD is done, then the child's parents must make a treatment decision. Treatment options a child with gastroesophageal reflux disease are three types of surgery, drugs (prescription or nonprescription) or holistic therapy.
A surgical procedure known as Nissan fundoplication can be done to reduce the relaxation between the esophagus and stomach. Surgery is rarely taken into account, the risk and severity of complications higher than acid reflux itself.
Prescription drugs are also avoided for the following reasons:
1. The agents try to respond to symptoms of GERD (As acid production), but the causes of abandonment, as a way of life diet and internal triggers.
2. For adults, and therefore even more for children, some drugs have risks. Reglan and bethanechol for example have not been evaluated for reflux babies as prescribed medication. Cisapride with its severe side effects of cardiac arrhythmias should be removed sale. Other common drugs more serious side effects, including pneumonia and Tourette syndrome.
3. All drugs can lead to dependency, and children are particularly at risk for immune system that continues to grow with the baby.
Did you know that the best way protect your child from annoying and painful symptoms of GERD is to choose a holistic approach, in partnership with major changes to a natural lifestyle and diet?
Recent studies demonstrate the benefit of all other natural treatments GERD. For example, studies done by Ravelli, Tobanelli Volpi and appeared in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition in 2001 showed that the formula based on cow's milk can cause gastric emptying in children allergic to milk proteins. Studies by Rudolph, Mazur and Liptak also published in this newspaper stated that the development of cow's milk formula to a formula based on hydrolyzed casein might be better for babies who vomit. And also, for children with GERD, breastfeeding appears to have significant advantages compared with a formula for babies, because breast milk is better for digestion and gives rapid intestinal transit.
Conclusions above and many others to bolster the theory GERD children that is not local in its manifestation (the esophagus only), but it is actually the body's response to a set of internal factors, dietary and environmental. This explains why the approach adopted comprehensive holistic medicine that focuses on protecting your child from gastroesophageal reflux disease can also be safe and most effective choice in the long term.
