Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, can be caused by underlying conditions like GERD, peptic ulcers, or issues with the pancreas or bile ducts. It can also occur without a known cause. Common symptoms include feeling full, epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and belching. Diagnosis may involve physical exams, tests like x-rays or endoscopy, and ruling out other conditions. Making dietary changes like eating smaller meals, chewing food well, and reducing stress can help relieve indigestion symptoms at home.

Gerd in children and its treatment
This document summarizes a seminar on approaching gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children. It discusses the anatomy and physiology of the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter. It also covers the prevalence, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnostic approaches including pH monitoring and endoscopy, and management including lifestyle changes, acid suppressants, prokinetics, and surgery for GERD in infants and children. The conclusion is that GERD is common in infants but usually resolves by 18 months, medical therapy with proton pump inhibitors is effective for treatment, and surgery is not generally recommended.
Gerd presentation
This document discusses gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants and children. It defines GERD as the backflow of acidic stomach contents into the esophagus, which can irritate and damage the esophagus. In infants, GERD is common and causes frequent spitting up after feedings due to the immaturity of the upper digestive tract. Symptoms in infants may include vomiting, gas, and abdominal pain. Diagnostic tests include barium swallows, pH probes, and endoscopy. Treatment focuses on positioning, feeding changes, thickeners, and medications to reduce acid and improve coordination.
Heartburn
Heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus. Symptoms of GERD include frequent heartburn and acid indigestion. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like losing weight and avoiding trigger foods, as well as medications like antacids, H2 blockers, and proton pump inhibitors. Surgery may be considered for severe cases that do not respond to other treatments.
Diagnosis and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) jan 2013
This document discusses the diagnosis and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) from an Indian perspective. It finds that while regurgitation is common in infants and usually resolves by age 1, GERD prevalence increases with age, similar to adults by adolescence. For infants, the Orenstein questionnaire or Rome III criteria can help differentiate physiological GER from GERD. For older children and adolescents, an empirical trial of proton pump inhibitors for 4 weeks is justified for those with classical GERD symptoms. Investigations like pH studies and endoscopy are recommended for complicated cases or when symptoms are atypical. Proton pump inhibitors are the mainstay of medical management for GERD.
Heartburn
Heartburn is a burning sensation behind the breastbone that results from gastroesophageal reflux, where stomach acid or bile backs up into the esophagus. It is common and affects up to 10% of adults daily. Heartburn is usually caused by factors that weaken the lower esophageal sphincter like fatty foods, alcohol, medications, and certain foods. Mild heartburn can be treated with over-the-counter antacids and lifestyle changes but severe or frequent heartburn may require prescription medications like H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors to reduce acid production and heal damage to the esophagus.
GERD in children
This document discusses gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants and children. It defines GERD as reflux episodes associated with complications, in contrast to uncomplicated gastroesophageal reflux (GER) which is normal physiological process. GER is common in infants but usually resolves by 18 months. Symptoms of GERD vary by age and may include regurgitation, respiratory symptoms, poor weight gain or failure to thrive. Management involves lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, pharmacotherapy with acid suppressants or prokinetics, and potentially surgery for refractory cases or those with complications.
Acid Reflux/GERD
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when a muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close properly. This allows stomach contents to leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus and irritate it.
You may feel a burning in the chest or throat called heartburn. Sometimes, you can taste stomach fluid in the back of the mouth. This is acid indigestion. If you have these symptoms more than twice a week, you may have GERD.
Anyone, including infants and children, can have GERD. If not treated, it can lead to more serious health problems. In some cases, you might need medicines or surgery. However, many people can improve their symptoms by:
-- Avoiding alcohol and spicy, fatty or acidic foods that trigger heartburn
-- Eating smaller meals
-- Not eating close to bedtime
-- Losing weight if needed
-- Wearing loose-fitting clothes
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Patients with GERD will present to Dr. Ali Ghahary, a family physician at Brentwood Medical Clinic, often complaining of heartburn or regurgitation as two of their main symptoms.

GERD - Overview for Pharmacy & Medical Students
GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, is very common, affecting 10-20% of people each month and up to 7% daily. It occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms. Diagnosis is usually made based on typical symptoms, but may involve endoscopy, pH monitoring, or other tests. Treatment includes lifestyle changes like weight loss, avoiding triggers, and raising the head of the bed. Over-the-counter antacids provide quick relief but do not treat the underlying cause. Prescription medications like H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors are often used and work by reducing acid production, with PPIs being the most effective but also having some
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in children
GERD is the most common esophageal disorder in children. Symptoms vary depending on a child's age, and can include regurgitation, irritability, coughing, and poor appetite. Diagnosis involves ruling out other potential causes through history and examination. Tests like barium swallows, pH monitoring, and endoscopy may then be used to confirm and assess complications of GERD like esophagitis.

Ibs
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder that is common, affecting around 20% of patients presenting to outpatient departments. IBS symptoms are not due to any underlying pathological cause, but rather are influenced by factors like altered gut motility or secretion in response to stimuli, heightened gut sensitivity, and dysregulation of the brain-gut axis associated with greater stress reactivity. Diagnosis is based on Rome II criteria of abdominal pain relieved by defecation and changes in stool frequency or form occurring for at least 3 days per month over the past 3 months. Treatment focuses on education, diet, exercise, antispasmodics, laxatives, anti-diarrheal medications, psychotherapy,
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) in children
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is common in infants and children and refers to the involuntary passage of gastric contents into the esophagus. GER becomes GERD when it causes symptoms or complications. Common symptoms in infants include frequent vomiting, irritability, and failure to thrive. Diagnosis is usually made based on symptoms and history, though tests like pH probes and endoscopy may be used in some cases. Treatment focuses on positioning, thickening feeds, medications, and rarely surgery to reinforce the antireflux barrier.

GIT irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for 5th year 2011
IBS is a common gastrointestinal disorder affecting 7% of the population. Women are more likely to be affected than men, most commonly between ages 20-40. The pathophysiology is not fully understood but may involve abnormal gut motility, visceral hypersensitivity, and immune system activation. IBS places a high economic burden due to direct and indirect healthcare costs. Diagnosis is based on Rome criteria and absence of alarm symptoms. Treatment depends on symptoms but may include antispasmodics, antidepressants, antibiotics, probiotics, and laxatives or anti-diarrheals.
Gastroesophageal Reflux in Preterm Neonate
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is common in preterm neonates due to immature esophageal motility and lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. Diagnosis is challenging as symptoms are nonspecific. Tests include pH probes and multiple intraluminal impedance monitoring. Management follows a step-wise approach starting with non-pharmacological measures like body positioning and feeding strategies. If symptoms persist, alginate formulations, H2 receptor blockers, and proton pump inhibitors may be used though evidence for their efficacy is limited in preterms. Further research is needed to develop optimal evidence-based treatment guidelines for GER in this population.
