ACID REFLUX

I used to say I hated schedules...and still have resistance to them.

Though I love that the sun comes up every morning, and the adopted

puppy my housemate is caring for is SO much more calm since she makes

sure the meal is served at same time 3X daily. And my digestion works

better when I eat regularly, my health when I sleep etc . When I book

time to serve a mom with a massage, she has to honor her baby sitter's

time too, so we all have to honor the schedule and baby's angels tend

to be very cooperative, once MOm realizes how much Baby has to gain

too from her own good care and surrenders the anxiety long enough to

begin to feel the treatment!

 

Re the 2 hour advice, I counsel my moms to " lean into it " not with

rigid rules. We all have things happen in our lives through our days

and weeks and months we have to make the intimate decisions how to

dance wisely, gracefully with for our baby's well being as well as our

own.

Thank you, dear Sister spirit. Finding the common ground is so

important to me in sharing respect and care - for anyone. It isn't so

easy when Baby is fussy, or someone abuses us in some way, intentional

or not!

 

Love and Blessings,

Acid reflux is often indicative of dehydration. Increasing the daily intake

of water and 500ml water shortly before bedtime is a good way to test to see

if this is so.

The requirement of calcium, folic acid and iron during pregnancy has

been addressed by this author in message 1200, where foods recommendations for

obtaining these are also given:

 

ayurveda/message/1200

 

You may do your own research to know what side effects calcium tablets

cause. The constipation by Iron tablets is well known. And most

important, inadvisability of Iron tablets during high pitta state has

been posted in post# 12502, through a story.

 

 

similarly foods to avoid are discussed in message 1233:

 

ayurveda/message/1233

 

 

Pregnancy is a very special state, and management of the health issues

by food alone is best. The first trimester is dominated by pitta dosha.

Vomitting, acidity, reflux, vertigo, burning sensations, heart burn all

are expected to a more less extent. Hence soaked dates, grapes tend to

reduce pitta and associated problems.

 

As a dietary practice, ancient texts give emphasis on the consumption

of ghee, milk and meat.

Charaka recommends the protocol for first trimester:

" KSHEERAMANUPASKRUTAM, MATRAVAT, SEETAM, KALE, KALE,----------PIBETH "

 

" MADHURA, SEETA, DRAVA, PRAYAMAHARA, MUPASEVET| (SUSHRUTA)

" DVITEEYE, MASE, KSHEERAMEVACHA, MADHURAOUSHADHASIDDHAM " (CHARAKA)

 

The above statements are indicating the importance of milk. Some of the

Acahryas also mention the use of honey and butter. During the second

month Charaka and Vaghbhata advise to consume medicated milk

with madhura drugs. (i.e.carbohydrate rich substances)

 

During third month it is advised to consume milk with honey and ghee.

Susruta advices specially cooked rice cereal with milk.

 

The empahsis on use of milk during total pregnancy and particularly first 3

months is from essential nutrients in milk. Milk is considered as the

best jeevaneeya dravya as per Ayurveda, i.e. which is essential for

life.

 

Milk has antacid prabhava and mild laxative to combat the

common ailments during first trimester like constipation, acid reflux

and heart burn. The first trimester of pregnancy is characterized by

the formative stage of the foetus, when the embryo is nourished by a

process called upasnehan (percolation). Therefore Sushruta advises more

liquid diet. The milk can be made more coolingby use of satavari,

vidari, which also suprress the tendency of abortion (aid

prajasthapana).

 

The use of butter and ghee is also justifiable as fats are essential

for the absorption of vitamins A,D,E etc. Scientific studies indicate

that pure ghee is rich in Vit. A and thus offers good immunity. Use of

cold and liquid diet along with milk prevent dehydration during the

first trimester as most of the woman experience nausea and vomitings

hampering the intake. Madhura indicates the substances rich in glucose

content which help to reduce vomitings. Susrutha even says that milk

has got the property of preventing abortions. Author has advised milk

boiled with shatawari, dates, soaked almonds during first trimester.

Warm milk with Indian cow ghee added is a good food advise for tackling

chronic constipation, constant burning sensation, acidity etc. Please

note that pitta pacification property of ghee is attributed to Indian

cow ghee only, Jersey cow ghee does not have as much medicinal

properties as Indian cow ghee. Commercial branded ghee available in

market is all Jersey cow ghee.

 

Drakshavaleha, Gulkand with Praval added from a reputed manufacturer or even an

old grandma who knows receipe for these items may be a good addition to control

pitta and associated problems. Other items are discussed in post# 3499.

 

Avipattikar churna needs to be made specially soft and cooling by adding herbs

and bhasmas for prgnant women, women with menorrhagia, people suffering from

piles etc. Shataptryadi churna is a better alternative as it is a softer

laxative, if constipation is encountered at any stage during pregnancy. Author

adds some more cooling herbs to the avipattikar/shataptryadi churna, but

generally avoids giving any of these and prefers only dietary management during

pregnancy.

Namste:

 

It is also advisable to check and confirm that manifestation Acid

Reflux is not due to the presence of Helicobacter Pylori.

 

This is a simple test that one takes the acidic drink and then blows in

the bag after 15 minutes. Bags are then sent to the lab for

Helicobacter Pylori confirmation.
