Eggs Cause Heartburn
Can allergies cause heartburn?
Im intolerance to eggs , milk...etc. Im wondering if my gassiness is related to it.
And I would also want to know how eggs can cause heartburn? On which system can it cause? Is it really harmful to the body?
Stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain are symptoms of food allergies.
Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms such as heartburn. It would be best to have a doctor assess the cause of your heartburn in order that you can receive proper treatment.
heartburn doesn't actually affect the heart at all. When you eat, food passes from your mouth down a tube called the esophagus. In order to enter the stomach to be digested, the food must pass through an opening between the esophagus and the stomach.
This opening is like a gate, and soon closes after food passes into your tummy. Sometimes it doesn't quite close, and stomach acid can get through that opening and move into your esophagus. This is called reflux and it's what causes that burning sensation.
Heartburn can be affected by being overweight, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee or other beverages that contain caffeine, alcohol, citrus fruits, tomatoes, onion, chocolate, mints, fatty or spicy foods, or taking aspirin or ibuprofen.
If you do get a sudden case of heartburn, try to keep yourself upright. If you are lying down, prop yourself up with some pillows since this will prevent more acid from seeping into your esophagus.
Taking an antacid can help (it neutralizes the acid in your stomach). Take ones that contain both magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide (one causes constipation while the other causes diarrhea so they counteract each other) like over-the-counter brands include Maalox and Mylanta.
