Abdominal Burning IBS
How it Works The stomach regularly produces acid in preparation of digesting the food that you are about to ingest. The problem exists when too much acid is produced in comparison to the amount of food intake. Many physicians will prescribe a medication that has proton pump inhibitors. It is used to treat stomach ulcers and GERD by cutting down the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Often the medication prescribed is called Nexium.
Tips Provided It is important to have a qualified physician determine if your system is producing too much acid and not mistaken for too little acid. If you are taking mediciation to reduce your stomach acid, however you already have too little acid being produced, your digestion problems will immediately start to heighten. I have had a doctor prescribed Nexium for me and I was actually producing too little acid but because I experienced nausea, the doctor assumed that it is because my stomach has too much acid production. The nausea was actually due to the weight loss I was experiencing at the time and not so much the acid production. Having a solid history briefing with the doctor would really help to ensure that the doctor can make a solid educated evaluation on the best route to take.
