6. Stay on schedule. Try going to sleep at the same time every night, as well as waking up at the same time every morning. This trains your body to want to go to bed when it's time for you to go to bed, helping you get to sleep easier.
Prostaglandins provide a protective barrier that prevent the stomach from digesting itself. If there is a break in the protective barrier, mucosal injury occurs. Injury worsen by histamine release and vagal nerve stimulation. Hydrochloric acid diffuse back into the mucosa and injure small vessels. This causes edema, hemorrhage, and erosion of the stomach's lining.
In addition to the acid-neutralizing ingredients found in GavisconÂ® , all GavisconÂ® products contain alginate. When chewed (GavisconÂ® tablets) or swallowed (GavisconÂ® liquid), the combination of the alginic acid and bicarbonate creates a foam barrier or raft that floats on the stomach acid. This raft foam barrier helps reduce the number of reflux episodes and. than ordinary antacid products. If reflux occurs, this raft foam barrier is the first to contact the esophageal mucosa, and thus provides protection against the acid-pepsin gastric contents. In fact, GavisconÂ® helps keep acid down in the stomach, where it belongs.
