Indigestion Tablets

Aim:

     My aim of this investigation is to find out the composition of tablets which are for indigestion and compare their prices. I will find out the indigestion tablet which reacts and dissolves quickly with Hydrochloric Acid and produces more bubbles.  

Introduction:

     Indigestion, also known as upset stomach or dyspepsia, is discomfort or a burning feeling in the upper abdomen, often accompanied by nausea, abdominal bloating, belching, and sometimes vomiting. Indigestion might be caused by a disease in the digestive tract, but for many people, it results from eating too much, eating too quickly, eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations. Smoking, drinking too much alcohol, using medications that irritate the stomach lining, being tired, and having ongoing stress can also cause indigestion or make it worse.

     Some people have persistent indigestion that is not related to any of these factors. This type of indigestion--called functional or nonulcer dyspepsia--may be caused by a problem in the muscular squeezing action of the stomach (motility). To diagnose indigestion, the doctor might perform tests for problems, like ulcers. In the process of diagnosis, a person may have x rays of the stomach and small intestine or undergo endoscopy, in which the doctor uses an instrument to look at the inside of the stomach.

     Avoiding the foods and situations that seem to cause indigestion in some cases is the most successful way to treat it. Excess stomach acid does not usually cause or result from indigestion, so antacids are not an appropriate treatment, although some people report that they do help. Smokers can help relieve their indigestion by quitting smoking, or at least not smoking right before eating. Exercising with a full stomach may cause indigestion, so scheduling exercise before a meal or at least an hour afterward might help.

  To treat indigestion caused by a functional problem in the digestive tract, the doctor may prescribe medicine that affects stomach motility.

Because indigestion can be a sign of or mimic a more serious disease, people should see a doctor if they have the following symptoms.  

  1. Vomiting, weight loss, or appetite loss.
  2. Black tarry stools or blood in vomit.
  3. Severe pain in the upper right abdomen.
  4. Discomfort unrelated to eating.
  5. Indigestion accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, or pain radiating to the jaw, neck, or arm.
  6. Food that feels like it's "coming up" on you, leaving a bitter taste in your mouth from stomach acid.
  7. Heartburn (a burning sensation in your chest and throat).

Research on the medical advice of indigestion

     IsoZymes: Indigestion occurs when the foods eaten, are not properly digested. Using a digestive enzyme formula will help greatly, if that formula is both potent and very broad spectrum. Using lesser quality product, and / or a formula with only a few enzymes, will be limited in its ability to cover all digestive needs. In that case, indigestion could still occur. Iso means "the same". ISO Science is the science of using natural "isomolecules" that your body recognizes as "similar" or "equivalent" to your body's own and are instantly absorbed and utilized. "IsoZymes" is a very complete spectrum of several digestive enzymes, all working in synergy. Raw food has intact enzymes that assist in the digestion of that food group. Cooking destroys enzymes. Our bodies also have enzymes that assist in digesting food, however enzyme function diminishes with age. Failure to completely digest foods leads to incomplete assimilation of nutrients. The result is the development of a number of chronic medical conditions, food allergies included. "IsoZymes" are made from premium plant sources. Plant based digestive enzymes work at any pH; meaning once it is in your stomach, it starts working right away. Animal based digestive enzymes do not begin to work until after your stomach pH drops very low; thus any person with hypochlorhydria (a lack of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juices), may never benefit from animal based digestive enzymes. Enzymes taken with meals will be used up in the stomach while they help digest that meal. Enzymes taken on an empty stomach will go into the blood stream intact. Blood conditions such as stacking of red blood cells (RBCs) like a stack of coins (RBC Rouleau), or red blood cells clumping together (RBC Aggregation), or accumulations of Uric Acid Crystals in the blood, can be greatly helped with a combination of Plant Digestive Enzymes and Antioxidants, taken on an empty stomach.

Avoiding indigestion:

   Although more research is necessary to determine all the risk factors, the following steps should help.

  1. You should eat meals at regular times.
  2. You should not rush meals.
  3. Enjoy eating and drinking, but do so in moderation.
  4. Avoid those foods you associate with symptoms.
  5. Don’t take aspirin for headaches, colds and coughs - take paracetamol instead.
  6. Avoid taking anti-arthritis pain killers if at all possible: your doctor will advise.
  7. Try not to let stressful situations upset you.

Avoiding heart burn:

  1. You should eat your evening meal well before going to bed so that it has time to digest.
  2. You should raise the head of the bed six to eight inches on blocks: this will help keep the acid down in the stomach where it belongs.
  3. Avoid being overweight; try to lose weight if you are.
  4. Avoid excessive caffeine, fats and alcohol.
  5. Avoid tight belts or clothing.
