Regardless of male or female, young or old, reflux, which is seen in 1 out of every 5 people, affects people’s quality of life. This disease, which presents with symptoms such as difficulty in swallowing, bloating in the stomach, burping, nausea, and mouthing food, brings many health problems if left untreated. Experts say that in the treatment of reflux, the person should take drugs that suppress stomach acid or make serious changes in his diet.
Cardiology Specialist Hamit Çelik said, “If gastric emptying is slow, if the stomach is enlarged, bacteria and excess acid secretion in the intestine and stomach cause patients to burp. That’s why patients stand out from the society with the thought that they will be disgraced. Patients who stand out from society sometimes do not want to apply drug therapy. However, the first step in stomach ailments is to empty the stomach. Therefore, the water diet that we apply to patients for 60 days allows the stomach to rest and regenerate.”
MEDICINE-FREE TREATMENT POSSIBLE IN 60 DAYS
Reflux, which causes health problems such as inflammation, stenosis and bleeding in the esophagus, leads to serious problems if left untreated. However, Stating that the stomach is renewed in 60 days with the drug-free treatment method, Specialist Dr. Hamit Çelik recommends consuming honey with water in the water diet he recommends to his patients.
LOSE OVER WEIGHT
Stating that the patient should change his lifestyle and diet in the treatment of reflux, Dr. Hamit Çelik said, “If a patient with reflux is overweight, he/she should definitely lose their excess weight. Especially obesity triggers reflux. Acidic foods (oranges, lemons, etc.) and beverages should not be consumed, while spices should be avoided. In addition, it is not correct to take food at least 2 hours before bedtime. Because the meals eaten at night increase the stomach pressure and increase the reflux complaint. Therefore, it is possible to overcome reflux with a balanced, healthy and regular diet.”
