Question 1

what is gastrocolic reflex?

Accepted Answer

Reflex: It's the body's reflex controlling the motility, or peristalsis, of the gastrointestinal tract. It involves an increase in motility of the colon in response to stretch in the stomach & byproducts of digestion in the small intestine. It's responsible for the urge to defecate following a meal. The small intestine shows a similar motility response. The gastrocolic reflex helps make room for more food.

Question 2

gastrocolic reflex in babies causes n treatment

Accepted Answer

Depends-age/severity: Some will need smaller, more frequent feedings. Thickening the formula/breast milk with cereal also can be done. Keeping the baby upright before and after feedings is helpful. H2-blockers like ranitidine (zantac) can be given orally to inhibit stomach acid. Old timers have also use antacids like mylanta and maalox. Many babies may not need treatment. Ger often resolves by itself.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Do this: If overweight, get to your normal weight, eat small frequent meals, avoid eating within three hours of bedtime. Stay away from caffeine products such as soda, coffee or tea unless you choose decaff.

Accepted Answer

Cremasteric reflex: Cremasteric reflex relates to testicular elevation on stimulation of the cremaster muscle which is known to elevate the testicle. Normally, no one does it routinely, so it is not clear how that can be bothersome, unless there are circumstances not related here by you.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Syncope: Neurally mediated syncope is a disorder of the autonomic regulation of postural tone, which results in hypotension, bradycardia, and loss of consciousness. If it is from bradycardia alone then pace maker could resolve it. If it is from vasodilation it is difficult to treat. You need to consult cardiologist/neurologist.

Question 7

what's the best way to treat rsd (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) without seeing a doc?

Accepted Answer

Topical/Oral MMJ?: Rsd is a complex disorder which is really poorly understood. I know of no good alternative treatments which can be self-administered. As an osteopathic physician and pain doctor, i've seen quite a lot of rsd patients. Some respond to meds, some to osteopathic manipulation. Quite a few respond to topical or ingested medical marijuana. If legal in your state, it could prove quite helpful to try.

Relex time: low thyroid will slow it down
Being nervous will speed it up.
