In humans, gastrin is a hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid by the stomach. It is released by G cells in the stomach and duodenum.\n\nThe presence of gastrin stimulates parietal cells of the stomach to secrete hydrochloric acid\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrin

Yes, I had an Upper GI Series done a long time ago. Unless things have changed you will drink 3 cups of that "chalky stuff" which has I believe a barium isotope solution in it that will "stick to your ulcers" so that they may show up on an x-ray.

To reduce side effects of PANTOPRAZOLE (PROTONIX®), be sure to swallow the tablets whole with a drink of water (8 oz); do not crush, break, or chew. Take your doses at regular intervals. In addition, avoid frequent use of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, smoke, and illegal drugs.\n\nSome of the more severe side effects of PROTONIX® that require for you to contact your prescriber or health care professional are listed at DrugDigest.org. And these are: \n\n•fever or sore throat\n•     redness, blistering, peeling or loosening of  the skin, including inside the mouth\n•     skin rash, itching\n•     unusual bleeding or bruising\n•     unusual weakness or tiredness\n•     yellowing of the eyes or skin\n \nLess serious side effects are side effects that usually do not require medical attention, but it is recommended that you report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome. These are:\n\n•     diarrhea\n•     dizziness\n•     dry skin\n•     headache\n•     nausea/vomiting\n•     stomach pain or gas\n•     tiredness\n\nBoth of these medicines, RABEPRAZOLE (ACIPHEX™) and PANTOPRAZOLE (PROTONIX®), prevents the production of acid in the stomach. Therefore the side effects are the same.\n\nHope this answers your question,

How weird, my mom just had this, and I had never heard about it before that. All the above is correct, but I just wanted to add that you ought to get it treated soon and change your diet around accordingly. My mom almost died from it, which is unheard of, and she ended up having a foot of intestine being taken out. Watch out! It can get pretty damn serious.

Too much of any caffeine can lead to the development of gastritis (irritation/inflammation of the stomach lining) which can lead to ulcer formation. This includes coffee, tea and certain types of sodas/pops.

"A UAB researcher is investigating a potentially significant link between a very common stomach bacteria and the incidence of heart disease among African-Americans. The bacteria, helicobacter pylori or H. pylori, is found in the lining of the stomach."\n\n"Several studies have recently reported an association between ischaemic heart disease and Helicobacter pylori infection."\n\nBased on scientific studies, there does appear to be a link between the two but the link is a weak one.  Some people who have a severe episode of H. pylori can go on to develop heart disease but that is not always the case.  The effect of H. pylori on the heart depends on many factors.  Listed below are sites with much more info on this subject.  Hope that helps!

A low pH slows down the enzyme activity. The enzyme present in the stomach is ptyalin. When ptyalin is inactivated, it cannot function.\n\nA little fact of enzyme:\nEnzymes are biological catalysts made of protein. They alter the rate of chemical reactions without themselves being chemically changed at the end of the reaction.\n\nEnzyme combine with the substrate (starch) to form a enzyme-substrate complex. After that, it breaks up into smaller products. The reaction does not change the surface configuration on the enzyme, and therefore can be used to catalyze another reaction. Smaller products makes digestion easier.\n\nSo, when pytalin (enzyme) is inactivated, it cannot go through the procedure as described above.

Eventually your stomach grows. Some people even get a second gastric bypass surgery because their stomachs get back to their original size and they have not changed their eating habits.

the best type is gaviscon which has a type of seaweed in it, covering the acidic food in your stomach with a cool soothing liquid, neutralising the acid and preventing acid reflux. As the food was eaten several days ago an H2 inhibitor might be more effective which increases alkalinity of your intestine.(generic name ranitadine) It won't help straight away tho.stick to easily digestible foods, don'e eat too much fat or protein and try to eat some fruit and drink pleanty of veg to help get rid of the waste food inside.

Going on the assumption you are talking about acid reflux, The acid errodes the esophogus, I have acid reflux and had a little damage done to mine. There might be other problems accociated with stomach acid, I only know what I experienced. (My Dr. put me on prevacid and my esophogus has repaired)

Hi.  im suffering from a ulcerative colitis at the moment.  I have been taking 40 mg. of prednizone, 9 colazal pills and 75 mg of mercaptopurine (6mp) and one rowasa enema at nights.  I have blood in my stool, my stool is very lose and cramping each and everytime.  I was doing really good for the last four years, until i had one alcholic beverage, which they tell you not to have, and the flairups started five weeks ago.  My dr. told me to stay away from fruits, vegtables, red meat, fried food,  dairy food, caffine, soda and juice.  he said to only eat white stuff like chicken, pasta, rice, white bread until i see some improvement.  so far im doing a little bit better then i was five weeks ago, but hopefully i'll see some changes soon. if you see no changes in your condition please talk to your gastro. dr. and see what other meds. he can give you.  you had not mentioned your meds. so dont be affraid, im 41 years old and i have been living with this conditon since i was 17.  Just make sure you get your yearly colonoscopy done in time to make sure things are ok and dont stress out cause stress can really affect the colitis, i know its hard, but until they find a cure for us this is the best we can do,  best wishes to you and i wish you a speady recovery.

Gastrointestinal upset which may lead to ulcer and can induce bleeding is the risk highly imposed by taking non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. \n\nIbuprofen is one of the drugs which decreases its potency past its expiry date. A year past the expiratory, any medication is supposed to be discarded. At 1 year and 8 months past its expiry, we cannot exactly predict the percentage of the potency lost but due to the amount of pills you had taken, probably you had more than what is supposed to be. If you had previous ulcers or if you took the pills without food then it had remarkably irritated your stomach causing such pains. Better to see a doctor for proper advice.♥
