Acid Reflux And Fish Oil Omega 3 Fatty Acids

First of all, what is acid reflux?

Acid reflux, commonly referred to as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (or refluxes) into the esophagus. In some cases, the liquid can inflame and damage the lining of the esophagus. The regurgitated liquid usually contains acid and pepsin that are produced by the stomach.

Heartburn, which is one of the main symptoms of acid reflux disease, is one of the fastest growing medical complaints. Yet many people are not aware that heartburn, especially chronic heartburn, is often associated with acid reflux disease.

There are different ways to treat acid reflux disease and one of the recommended supplements is omega 3, especially ultra-refined fish oil. Dr. Barry Sears has written a great book, called book The Omega RX Zone, in which he discusses the importance of insulin control as well as the importance of high-dose fish oil in combating inflammation.

Dr. Sears also mentions that the fish oil found in health food stores is not pure or potent enough to provide sufficiently high doses that are required to treat serious inflammation. Before deciding on a treatment of acid reflux disease with omega 3, I highly recommend you consult a physician to obtain adequate advice.
