Question 1

how to heal lower esophageal sphincter naturally?

Accepted Answer

Generally doesn't: In general, gerd is a chronic condition that does not heal or get "cured" by medications. Depending on consultation with your family physician and referral to specialists, they will work with you to decide best course of treatment. If nothing else is done, gerd (symptomatic acid reflux) will require life long medication to alleviate/treat symptoms. http://goo.gl/0rrqv.

how does famotidine help get rid of acid reflux like what does it do to heal the esophagus i take two 20mg a day ?

Accepted Answer

Reduces Acid..: Reduces Acid production of stomach.........acid is corrosive, when reduced it allows the body to heal faster.

Question 3

i had a endoscopy yesterday to check my barretts esophagus. they said my results were good and barretts was undetectable on the endoscopy. can barretts esophagus heal up? she told me to keep the same meds and recheck in a year . thanks?

Accepted Answer

: I find mixed messages as to Barrett's esophagus healing with only medical treatment and diet. Nevertheless it can recur so rechecking in a year or so is reasonable advice.

Question 4

how long does it take famotidine take to get acid out of your esophagus or heal it.

Accepted Answer

Acidity: drops in a few hours, but an ulcer or esophagitis will take few days

Question 5

esophagus dilated 3-1/2 weeks ago. some food still gets stuck (need to chew smaller pieces) how long does it take to the esophagus to completely heal?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on  severity of dilatation, causes, endoscopy results and time varies depending on multiple factors including degree of esophagitis, gastritis, GERD and causes.

Question 6

had scope done have esophagus lesion and ulcer ? what helps them heal ?

Accepted Answer

Ask your Specialist:: Your gastroenterologist (GI doctor) can answer this for you. Treatment will depend on what the lesion is, and what caused the ulcer. If the cause is GERD (a.k.a. reflux, heartburn), acid-reducing medications are often used (such Proton-Pump Inhibitors like omeprazole or H2 blockers like famotidine). Some lesions can be pre-cancerous/cancerous. Follow-up on your results. Well wishes!

Question 7

can h2 blockers heal your esophagus i take 20mg 2x a day. so well that help heal me and stop the chest pains.

Accepted Answer

Esophagus: H2  blockers can aid in the healing process of esophagitis

Question 8

does nexium (esomeprazole) take 6-8 weeks to fully heal esophagus acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

Erosive esophagitis : How long it takes for erosions in the esophagus to heal depends on how large they were to begin with. It can take that long, but they often heal more quickly. People often need to stay on Nexium (esomeprazole) even after erosions are healed, to prevent the GERD that caused the erosions in the first place. Many people need long-term maintenance medications. Good luck.

Question 9

inflamed esophagus,  ppi make me feel ill. will zantac (ranitidine) 300mg a day heal it the same?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's highly effective, though not as potent as a ppi. That said, it works well for many people. I think it's entirely reasonable to try it.

Question 10

hi, i chocked while drinking water a big gulp when down my esophagus. it feels like liquids are escaping on the left side. will this heal on its on?

Accepted Answer

No problem: If you had ruptured your esophagus, you'd be in severe pain. You should be fine. If you develop pain, call your MD.
