Acid Peptic Disorder

Our stomach produces various acids to aid in the digestion of food. The acid released may have an effect on the mucosal lining of the stomach but it has defences. An imbalance in this arrangement causes the mucosal guards to be weakened or too much acid to be released which damages the lining and causes acid-peptic diseases.

Overview


Acid peptic disorders include gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disorders. Duodenal ulcers develop in the duodenum, whereas gastric ulcers form in the stomach's lesser curvature. When food and acid regurgitate into the esophagus, GERD develops.


Causes
  • Stress 

  • Overindulging in spicy sour and salty foods

  • Inappropriate eating behaviors 

  • Long-term fasting

  • Long-term NSAID use

  • Eating a lot of unhealthy foods

  • Insufficient water intake

  • Infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria 

  • Overindulging in food 

  • Food consumption before full digestion of the previous meal 

are some of the causes that lead to the emergence of acid-peptic disorders



Symptoms


The typical signs and symptoms of acid reflux disease patients are as follows: 

  • Severe abdominal pain

  • Burning in the chest and stomach

  • Heartburn

  • Feeling sick

  • Burping 

  • Flatulence

  • Nausea

If bleeding is a chronic problem a dark-colored bowel may cause either pain right after eating (gastric ulcer) or pain during hunger (duodenal ulcer). If the condition is not identified and treated the symptoms will worsen.



Ayurvedic View 


The acid peptic disorder is termed 'Amlapitta' meaning 'sour acid' caused due to ajirana (indigestion) agnimandya (low digestive fire), changes in the monsoon, foods that aggravate pitta dosha. Pitta can be compared to the acid in the stomach called pachaka pitta. Due to the factors mentioned above, the pitta attains intensive unusual sourness termed as 'vitiation of pitta'. The vitiated pitta causes, a burning sensation in the stomach and regurgitates into the esophagus, leading to a chain of acid-peptic disorders like GERD, gastric ulcers, bleeding, perforation, etc. The ayurvedic protocol aims to correct the digestive fire, bringing pitta back to its normal quality and place and reducing complications. Thereby we help the patient in managing the pitta vikara through shamana drugs which brings a balanced agni.
