Treatment of dyspepsia

If indigestion is caused by serious diseases of the digestive tract - for example, gastritis, gastric ulcer Gastric ulcer - such dangerous snacks   or duodenum, gall bladder disease Gall bladder: structure and function - To suppress the symptoms of dyspepsia can only be cured of their disease provokes. If the symptoms are associated with certain diseases, the treatment of dyspepsia is usually recommended to start with antacids - medications that help neutralize the acid in the stomach - and some changes in the diet (eg, non-spicy, fatty, junk food).

Treatment antacids

Antacids - the class (group) of drugs that neutralize acid in gastric juice. The most commonly used in the treatment of dyspepsia, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, magnesium trisilicate sold under different trade names. Antacids are available in tablet form and liquid form.

Included in the antacid actives alkaline nature antacids to relieve pain and discomfort caused by acid reflux or ulcers .  The chemical reaction between alkali and acid (neutralization) can cause gas .  It is for this reason that some of the antacid active substance in addition to the main part of simethicone, which helps reduce the formation of gas .  In addition, often to suppress dyspepsia antacids are used in conjunction with another group of preparations - alginates protecting oesophageal mucosa from acid, sent from the stomach .  In particular, such agents are effective in the case where the symptoms caused by acid reflux, dyspepsia, esophagitis complicated .  Common representatives of the group of alginates - sodium alginate and alginic acid, active substances in preparations under various trade names .

Antacids are used for the following purposes:

• For suppression of acid reflux symptoms, which can cause heartburn or esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) and lead to gastroesophageal reflux.
• In order to suppress some of the symptoms caused by gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer.
• In any situation where it is necessary to neutralize kilostu in the stomach - for example, in occasional cases, dyspepsia (indigestion).

In general, the antacid is used to quickly get rid of the unpleasant symptoms caused by an increased content of acid in gastric juice. Antacids are considered to be the only necessary treatment for lung, sporadic cases of dyspepsia.

Side effects

Antacids are considered quite safe group of drugs, and in most cases do not cause any side effects. The most common possible side effects of antacids - diarrhea, constipation, and belching Belching: why it happens and that means .

Antacids which contain magnesium compounds may have a laxative effect, and antacids, which are found in the composition of the compound with aluminum may cause constipation Constipation - Watch out for food . Considered the most balanced antacids containing and magnesium, and aluminum - the risk of side effects from these drugs is minimal.

The consequences of tapeworm infection

The consequences of tapeworm infection Worms - how dangerous they are?   It may be different depending on the type of vermin.

Intestinal teniidoze

As a rule, the intestinal teniidoze not entail serious consequences and causes distinct symptoms. However, with the growth of the tapeworm, they can block the bile duct, appendix or Wirsung's duct, which would entail a violation of these bodies.

Invasive teniidoze

In the case of invasive teniidoze chance of complications is much greater. Among such complications:

• The defeat of the brain and central nervous system (neurocysticercosis) - is particularly dangerous to human health consequence pork tapeworm infection, which can lead to headaches, blurred vision, meningitis Meningitis - an inflammation of the meninges , Brain edema, dementia. In particularly serious cases, neurocysticercosis is fatal.
• Violation of the internal organs. Moving into tissues or organs, the larvae of the tapeworm cyst form, which will eventually expand and disrupt the functioning of the body. In some cases, larval cysts press on blood vessels, impairing blood flow or causing rupture of blood vessels. In the most serious cases require surgery or organ transplantation.

Fermentation dyspepsia

Accepted provide two types of fermentation dyspepsia. The first type of fermentation dyspepsia characterized by excess of the acid in the gastric juice (hydrochloric acid, hydrochloric acid) for the second type fermentation dyspepsia typical gastric hyperacidity by various organic acids contained in the food or produced in the fermentation process.

Fermenting dyspepsia of the first type (hyperchlorhydria)

Hyperacidity - a condition characterized by excessive content of salt (hydrochloric) acid in gastric juice, as well as excessive and too rapid secretion of gastric juice after the receipt of food in the stomach. In ordinary cases, the saliva mixed with the food during mastication, helping break down food in the stomach, and after ingestion of food until acidity of gastric juice becomes sufficient for cleavage of food takes about thirty minutes. When hyperchlorhydria acid begins to flow into the stomach after only ten minutes after the start of a meal, thereby slowing or preventing the degradation of starch. Hyperchlorhydria observed in about half of all cases of dyspepsia in people between the ages of twenty to forty-five years.

Causes of fermentation dyspepsia may be different: excessive production of acid in the stomach can trigger stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis Too rapid consumption of food without thorough chewing, alcohol or tobacco, spicy, and spicy foods, certain diseases of the digestive tract.

When fermentation dyspepsia first type of protein digestion of food (meat, fish, dairy products) is proceeding normally, but the process of digestion of starchy foods (bread, all baked goods) is complicated. As a rule, the characteristic symptoms of dyspepsia hyperchlorhydria appear an hour after eating and include discomfort or pain in the abdominal area, heartburn, nausea, Nausea - there may be problems with the nervous system , Dizziness Dizziness - if the ground is slipping from under his feet , Palpitations. To relieve the symptoms of dyspepsia first type of fermentation is recommended to reduce the salt content in the diet to a minimum to give up tobacco and alcohol, especially pure and strong.

The second type of fermentation dyspepsia (hypochlorhydria)

For this type of fermentation dyspepsia low content of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice and gastric acidity is enhanced by the formation of organic acids. One of the most common causes of fermentation dyspepsia - bad food culture: it is too rapid absorption of food without chewing it thoroughly, and the abuse of alcohol and spicy, spicy food, and overeating, and irregular meals.

For this type of fermentation dyspepsia is characterized by the opposite situation: protein foods - meat, fish, eggs, dairy products - are digested slowly and painfully, since the gastric juice does not have enough hydrochloric acid. On the other hand, sugar, bread, flour and any foods with high starch content are broken down by bacteria and become a source of formation of organic acids. Organic acids are not conducive to digestion, but rather irritate the stomach, difficult digestion, leading to the appearance of the characteristic symptoms - bloating Bloating - if you are bursting inside , The appearance of the characteristic "humming" sound, a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen.
