We’ve been told that it is the reflux of acidic stomach contents into the lower esophagus that causes the symptoms of GERD. The focus of therapy, therefore, has been to reduce the acid content of the stomach with various drugs. But this is only part of the equation. If the stomach emptied normally there would not be a lot of “acid contents” to reflux . Unfortunately, the pylorus—the sphincter at the lower end of the stomach is triggered by the acid level in the stomach. So if we eliminate the acid, the stomach doesn’t empty and the reflux goes on!Could there be a better approach than eliminating the acid? Protexid is now available to help you relieve the symptoms of heartburn.
