#Gastroesophageal reflux disorder

[dissociacrip]

shoutout to other physically disabled people (esp. if you're also mentally disabled/ill) who are seen as not wanting to "help ourselves" because we can't make "simple" lifestyle changes,

who can't keep up with PT/OT on their own even if the exercises "just take 10 minutes" or generally can't keep up with regular exercise,

who aren't able to cut trigger foods out of our diets even if what they trigger is actively damaging our bodies/progressing certain things,

who use assistive devices, treatments, or aids that aren't technically "good for us" but they're all we have and we just want something, anything, to make our lives less miserable and aren't able to do much else

anything else where "just making this one change" would technically be beneficial but it's difficult to keep up with, or takes too much energy/takes executive function skills that we don't have, or conflicts w/ stuff in our lives that's not seen by others as important enough or significant (like sensory issues)

we're not "lazy" and we don't "just need to try harder," we're just not capable of "just doing" many of the same "simple" things that other people are, because we're disabled

What is Idiopathic Mast Cell Activation Syndrome?

Idiopathic Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is one of several mast cell disorders. MCAS occurs when there are a normal number of mast cells in a person's body but they over-release mast cell mediators causing random allergic reactions in multiple systems of the body. MCAS is incredibly common being present in an estimated 17% of the population.

Symptoms

MCAS symptoms are incredibly varied and always occur in multiple systems of the body. Anaphylaxis is common.

[ID: A graphic labeled "Some common symptoms of Mast Cell Disease" A graphic of a person standing in the center with multiple organs visible is shown. Around the person are lines pointing to specific areas of the body labeled with the body system and symptoms. Clockwise these read "Neurological headache, brain fog, cognitive dysfunction, anxiety, depression Cutaneous (Skin) flushing of the face/neck/chest, hives, skin rashes, itching with or without rash Cardiovascular light-heartedness, syncope (fainting), rapid heart rate, chest pain, low blood pressure, high blood pressure at the start of a reaction, blood pressure instability Gynecological uterine cramps, bleeding Urinary bladder irritability, frequent voiding Systemic and/or organ specific Anaphylaxis angioedema (swelling) Skeletal bone/muscle pain, osteopenia, osteoporosis Gastrointestinal diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Ear/Nose/Throat/Respiratory nasal itching and congestion, throat itching and swelling, wheezing, shortness of breath and more" In the bottom left corner "Symptoms can be sudden and unpredictable in onset learn more at tmsforacure.org"]

MCAS symptoms are specifically not allergies. the reactions may look like allergies but the two are not the same and MCAS is not a condition meaning "many allergies" While MCAS can have some consistent triggers one of the defining features of the disease is that reactions are random and happen unpredictably.

Anaphylactic shock is not a requirement for diagnosis.

Diagnosis

MCAS is diagnosed by an immunologist. It is in part a diagnosis of exclusion and requires ruling out both allergies and systemic mastocytosis as well as other conditions such as certain types of tumors.

Diagnostic criteria for MCAS is debated. Some immunologists follow the symptom-based diagnosis approach in which case the diagnostic criteria are:

Recurring and severe anaphylactic-like episodes that involve more than one organ system

and

Positive response to mast cell stabilizing or mediator medications anaphylaxis-type symptoms

Others follow diagnostic criteria based on laboratory findings. In this case the diagnostic criteria are:

Episodic symptoms consistent with mast cell mediator release affecting two or more organ systems evidenced as follows:

Skin: urticaria, angioedema, flushing

Gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping

Cardiovascular: hypotensive syncope or near syncope, tachycardia

Respiratory: wheezing

Naso-ocular: conjunctival injection, pruritus, nasal stuffiness

and

A decrease in the frequency or severity; or resolution of symptoms with anti-mediator therapy: H1 and H2 histamine receptor antagonists, anti-leukotriene medications (cysLT receptor blockers or 5-LO inhibitor), or mast cell stabilizers (cromolyn sodium)

and

Evidence of an elevation in a validated urinary or serum marker of mast cell activation: Documentation of elevation of the marker above the patient’s baseline during a symptomatic period on at least two occasions; or if baseline tryptase levels are persistently >15ng, documentation of elevation of the tryptase above baseline on one occasion. Total serum tryptase is recommended as the markers of choice; less specific (also from basophils) 24 hour urine histamine metabolites, or 11-beta-prostaglandin F2.

and

Primary (clonal) and secondary disorders of mast cell activation ruled out.

These are not all proposed diagnostic criteria as the subject is heavily debated. Generally, a laboratory-confirmed MCAS diagnosis is considered more legitimate.

Treatment

MCAS is a very treatable condition. Generally treatment follows a path from antihistamines -> mast cell mediators -> biologics.

Epipens are given to MCAS patients with a history of anaphylaxis.

Antihistamines are divided into 2 categories: H1 antagonists and H2 antagonists. These categories are determined based on the histamine receptor each one targets.

H1 antagonists mostly deal with systemic and cutaneous symptoms. H1 antagonists are also further divided into first and second generation antihistamines. first generation antihistamines include diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and Hydroxyzine. These tend to cause drowsiness. With second generation H1 antagonists cause fewer side effects and include drugs like loratadine (Claritin) and cetirizine (Zyrtec)

H2 antagonists primarily affect the gastrointestinal tract and include medications like famotidine (pepcid)

Typically when treating MCAS a person will be put on both a second generation H1 antagonist and an H2 antagonist.

When antihistamines do not treat symptoms well enough the next step is a mast cell mediator. The most common mast cell mediator is cromolyn sodium which is available by prescription only. (this is technically available OTC but it is at 1/50th the dose used for MCAS) Mast cell mediators work by preventing the degranulation of mast cells in the first place.

When both antihistamines and mast cell mediators are insufficient someone with MCAS might be prescribed a biologic such as Xolair to treat their remaining symptoms.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: Proposed Diagnostic Criteria

[my-autism-adhd-blog]

Is autism and bowel/digestive problems a popular thing? Does anyone know what causes it or what can help? I have been to doctors and hospitals so many times over the years and never get any results or help.

Hi there,

Unfortunately people with ASD have some difficulty with the gastrointestinal tract. I’ll leave some excerpts from articles below. Warning: they are very long:

Of the many medical comorbidities associated with ASD, GI distress has gained significant attention because of its reported prevalence and association with symptom severity. In fact, out of the children that Leo Kanner described in his landmark article defining “infantile autism” are described as having eating/feeding or dietary problems, supporting an early association of ASD with GI issues. Of the GI problems reported in subsets of autistic individuals, the most common are chronic constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Gastroesophageal reflux, bloody stools, vomiting, and gaseousness are also elevated in some autistic individuals, as are signs of GI inflammation, such as lymphoid nodular hyperplasia, complement activation, and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines, and intestinal pathologies, such as enterocolitis, gastritis, and esophagitis. Increased intestinal permeability is linked to autism and hypothesized to have detrimental effects not only on intestinal barrier integrity but also on the systemic metabolome, with potential for translocation of intestinal metabolites or bacteria and consequent immune activation. Furthermore, food allergies, altered dietary nutrient intake, and metabolic disruptions have been associated with ASD.10–12 Autistic individuals with comorbid GI abnormalities exhibit altered carbohydrate digestion. Taken together, the variety of GI conditions, dietary issues, and enteric immune abnormalities reported in ASD individuals suggests that GI dysfunction can contribute to the manifestation of core symptoms of autism.

Characterized by difficulties with socializing, and often accompanied by repetitive behaviors, this neurodevelopmental disorder harbors many mysteries.

Despite its prevalence and a glut of research, the causes behind ASD are still not fully understood.

Although ASD primarily impacts the brain, over recent years, links with other systems have become clear — in particular, gastrointestinal (GI) issues seem to occur more often in individuals with ASD than in the rest of the population.

In one study, compared with typically developing (TD) children, those with ASD were six to eight times more likely to report GI symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.

Other studies have shown that children with ASD who experience GI problems are more likely to have more severe symptoms of ASD. Also, treating the GI symptoms can sometimes relieve the behavioral and social symptoms of ASD.

Interestingly, behavioral issues are found alongside other conditions that impact the gut. For instance, people with celiac disease are more likely to have autism-like traits and other psychological symptoms. The gut and behavior seem tied together in some way.

According to many researchers, the GI issues that come with ASD might be due to two factors: firstly, inappropriate immune activation causing inflammation of the tract; and, secondly, differences in the types of gut bacteria that are present.

However, the picture is still incredibly murky, and studies produce differing results, finding different types of inflammation and various changes in gut bacteria.

Children with autism experience more gastrointestinal symptoms

Gastrointestinal concerns are frequently reported by parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers from the UC Davis MIND Institute evaluated the presence of GI symptoms in preschool-aged children with and without autism.

The study included 255 (184 males/71 females) children with ASD between two and 3-5 years of age and 129 (75 males/54 females) typically developing children in the same age group. Pediatricians specializing in autism interviewed caregivers during the children’s medical evaluation. They asked the parents how often their children experienced GI symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, painful stooling, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, blood in stool and blood in vomit.

The researchers grouped children in two categories: those who experienced one or more GI symptom and those who never or rarely had GI symptoms in the last three months. They compared the children in the two groups on measures of developmental, behavioral and adaptive functioning.

The study found that preschool-aged children with ASD were 2-7 times more likely to experience GI symptoms than their typically developing peers. In fact, almost 50% of children with ASD reported frequent GI symptoms - compared to 18% of children with typical development. Around 30% of the children with ASD experienced multiple GI symptoms.

I hope these sources can help. I have GI issues too and have to resort to stool softener

…

Anyway, thank you for the inbox. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. ♥️

[mcatmemoranda]

GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease. * Patients on twice-daily diuretics can take their second dose in the afternoon rather than the evening. ¶ Urinating while sitting comfortably on the toilet (men included), leaning slightly forward, and then waiting for 20 to 30 seconds to urinate again. Δ Good sleep hygiene includes sleeping in a quiet room with low lighting and appropriate temperature, avoiding nighttime use of electronic devices, and avoiding daytime naps. ◊ Patients should be referred to a physical therapist with expertise in pelvic floor rehabilitation.

------------------------

Definition and goals of management – Nocturia is a symptom, defined as any waking at night to void, most often considered clinically significant if a patient voids two or more times nightly. It is important to try to reduce the bother caused by the nocturia in addition to reducing nocturia episodes. (See 'Definition/Diagnosis' above and 'Management' above.)

●Recognition of underlying causes – Nocturia may be caused by conditions or disorders that result in low bladder volume voids, nocturnal polyuria, or sleep disturbances. Certain medical conditions may contribute to nocturia and should be treated as part of initial management. Many patients have multiple etiologies. (See 'Pathophysiology and associated conditions' above and 'Management' above.)

●Evaluation – Evaluation for nocturia should focus on patterns of fluid intake, other urinary symptoms, symptoms of possible underlying causes, and a focused physical examination. (See 'Evaluation' above.)

•A frequency-volume chart (ie, a voiding diary) will be helpful in determining the contributing causes of nocturia. Nocturnal polyuria is defined as the excretion of ≥35 percent of the 24-hour urine output during the hours of sleep (form 1). (See 'Frequency-volume chart' above.)

●Initial management – Initial measures should include adjustments in timing of fluid intake to earlier in the day, reducing salt intake if excessive, and eliminating nighttime diuretic use if present. A urinal or commode near the bed may be helpful. Fall risk at night should be considered (algorithm 1). (See 'Initial measures' above.)

●Pelvic floor muscle exercises – We suggest pelvic floor exercises for all patients (Grade 2B). Primary care providers should refer patients to physical therapists who specialize in this training. (See 'Behavioral treatment, including pelvic floor muscle exercises' above.)

●Pharmacologic treatment – Suggested initial treatment trials for nocturia include the following (algorithm 2):

•In men with nocturia related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), we suggest trials of alpha-1-adrenergic antagonists with or without 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (Grade 2B). (See 'Men with benign prostatic hyperplasia' above.)

•In patients without BPH who have low-volume voids, we suggest trials of bladder muscle relaxants (Grade 2C). (See 'Initial monotherapy: bladder relaxant therapies' above.)

•For postmenopausal women with continued nocturia despite a bladder muscle relaxant, we offer topical vaginal estrogen either alone or in combination with other therapies. (See 'Vaginal estrogen therapy (women only)' above.)

Because each of these therapies is associated with only a modest reduction in the number of nighttime voids and also has potential for side effects, many patients may choose no pharmacologic therapy.

●Refractory nocturia – For patients with refractory nocturia and who are <65 years of age, we consider treatment with desmopressin. Studies suggest that desmopressin has a small effect on nighttime voiding frequency that is of uncertain clinical significance. Baseline sodium levels must be normal, and patients must be able to recognize and report subtle fluid status changes and also be willing to undergo frequent monitoring of sodium levels in order to avoid severe hyponatremia. Desmopressin is a potentially inappropriate medication according to Beers criteria for medications for older adults. (See 'Desmopressin' above and "Drug prescribing for older adults", section on 'Beers criteria'.)

Choosing the Right Gastrointestinal Tract Drug – Factors to Consider

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a complex system responsible for digestion and absorption of nutrients.  Given its critical function, disorders affecting the GI tract can significantly impact overall health and quality of life.  Selecting the right medication to treat these conditions is essential for effective management and recovery.  Centurion HealthCare, a leading gastrointestinal tract drugs supplier in India, offers a range of high-quality medications designed to address various GI disorders.  In this article, we will explore the factors to consider when choosing the right gastrointestinal tract drug, and why Centurion HealthCare stands out in the best pharmaceutical industry in India.

Understanding Gastrointestinal Tract Disorders

GI tract disorders encompass a wide range of conditions affecting different parts of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.  Common GI disorders include:

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Peptic Ulcer Disease

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Hepatitis

Pancreatitis

Each condition requires specific treatment strategies and medications to manage symptoms, promote healing, and prevent complications.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Gastrointestinal Tract Drug

Choosing the right drug for treating GI disorders involves multiple factors, including the specific condition, the patient’s medical history, and potential side effects.  Here are key considerations:

1.   Accurate Diagnosis

An accurate diagnosis is the first step in selecting the appropriate medication.  Physicians use various diagnostic tools such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, imaging studies, and laboratory tests to identify the specific GI disorder.  Understanding the underlying cause and severity of the condition is crucial for effective treatment.

2.   Mechanism of Action

Different gastrointestinal tract drugs work through various mechanisms to achieve therapeutic effects.  Understanding how a drug works helps in selecting the most suitable option.  Common mechanisms include:

Antacids:  Neutralize stomach acid, providing quick relief from heartburn and indigestion.

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs):  Reduce the production of stomach acid, effective in treating GERD and peptic ulcers.

H2 Receptor Antagonists:  Decrease acid production by blocking histamine receptors in the stomach lining.

Prokinetics:  Enhance gut motility, useful in conditions like gastroparesis.

Antispasmodics:  Relieve intestinal cramps and spasms, often used in IBS treatment.

Anti-inflammatory Drugs:  Reduce inflammation in the GI tract, essential for managing IBD.

3.   Efficacy and Safety

The efficacy and safety profile of a drug are critical factors in the decision-making process.  Clinical trials and real-world studies provide valuable information on a drug’s effectiveness and potential side effects.  Physicians must weigh the benefits against the risks to ensure the chosen medication offers the best possible outcome for the patient.

4.   Patient-Specific Factors

Each patient is unique, and various individual factors can influence drug selection.  These include:

Age:  Certain drugs may be more suitable for children, adults, or the elderly.

Medical History:  Pre-existing conditions, such as kidney or liver disease, can affect drug metabolism and tolerance.

Allergies:  Patients with known drug allergies must avoid medications that could trigger adverse reactions.

Concurrent Medications:  Drug interactions can impact efficacy and safety, requiring careful consideration of all medications the patient is currently taking.

5.   Route of Administration

The route of administration can affect the drug’s efficacy and patient compliance.  Common routes for GI drugs include:

Oral:  Tablets, capsules, and liquids are convenient for most patients.

Intravenous:  Used in severe cases or when oral administration is not feasible.

Topical:  Suppositories and enemas are used for localized treatment in the lower GI tract.

6.   Cost and Availability

Cost can be a significant factor, especially for long-term treatments.  Generic versions of drugs often offer the same efficacy as brand-name medications at a lower cost.  Availability of the drug in the local market is also crucial to ensure uninterrupted treatment.

Unveiling The Gastric Problems: Common Symptoms And Their Causes

Gastric problems, ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain, can significantly impact daily life. Understanding the symptoms and their underlying causes is crucial for effective management and treatment. In this article, we'll explore seven common symptoms of gastric problems and delve into their potential causes, providing valuable insights for better health and well-being.

Abdominal Pain: Abdominal pain is a hallmark symptom of various gastric issues, including gastritis, ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The pain may vary in intensity and location, ranging from a dull ache to sharp, stabbing sensations. Gastric ulcers, caused by the erosion of the stomach lining, often result in a burning pain in the upper abdomen. GERD, characterized by the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus, can cause a burning sensation in the chest, known as heartburn.

Bloating and Gas: Excessive gas and bloating are common complaints associated with gastric problems. Gas can accumulate in the digestive tract due to factors such as swallowing air, bacterial fermentation of undigested food, or impaired digestion. Bloating, characterized by a feeling of fullness or tightness in the abdomen, often accompanies excessive gas production. Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are frequently implicated in chronic bloating and gas.

Nausea and Vomiting: Nausea and vomiting are symptoms that can occur in various gastric disorders, including gastritis, gastroparesis, and peptic ulcers. Gastritis, inflammation of the stomach lining, can trigger nausea and vomiting, particularly after meals or when the stomach is empty. Gastroparesis, a condition characterized by delayed stomach emptying, may lead to persistent nausea and vomiting, especially after consuming solid foods. Peptic ulcers, open sores in the stomach or duodenum, can cause nausea and vomiting if they irritate the stomach lining.

Indigestion (Dyspepsia): Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, encompasses a range of symptoms, including discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, bloating, and a feeling of fullness during or after meals. It can occur as a result of various factors, such as overeating, eating too quickly, or consuming spicy or fatty foods. Gastric disorders like GERD, gastritis, and peptic ulcers can also manifest as indigestion. Persistent or recurrent indigestion warrants medical evaluation to identify and address the underlying cause.

Acid Reflux: Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth. It is a common symptom of GERD, a chronic condition characterized by frequent episodes of acid reflux. Certain dietary and lifestyle factors, such as consuming acidic or fatty foods, smoking, and obesity, can exacerbate acid reflux. In some cases, structural abnormalities like a hiatal hernia may contribute to the development of GERD.

Loss of Appetite: A decreased appetite, or anorexia, can be a symptom of various gastric disorders, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Gastritis, characterized by inflammation of the stomach lining, can lead to a loss of appetite due to discomfort or nausea associated with eating. Peptic ulcers, particularly those located in the stomach, can cause a feeling of early satiety or discomfort after meals, leading to reduced food intake. Inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, can affect the entire digestive tract and cause appetite loss.

Changes in Bowel Habits: Changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or alternating episodes of both, can indicate underlying gastric issues. Conditions like IBS, characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits without any detectable structural abnormalities, often present with diarrhea, constipation, or a combination of both. Inflammatory conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can cause diarrhea, often accompanied by abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and weight loss. Constipation may occur due to factors such as inadequate fiber intake, dehydration, or certain medications.

Gastric problems can manifest in various ways, ranging from abdominal pain and bloating to acid reflux and changes in bowel habits. Identifying the symptoms and understanding their underlying causes are essential steps in managing gastric disorders effectively. If you experience persistent or severe symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice for proper evaluation and treatment. With the right approach, many gastric issues can be effectively managed, allowing for improved quality of life and overall well-being.

Recognizing Heartburn: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Therapy Options

""
