Parkinson disease and Acid Reflux
Aug 14, 2007 5:52 am Post subject: Parkinson's Disease and Acid Reflux
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People with heartburn are very common. The severe condition called gastroesophageal reflux(acid reflux).
People with parkinson's disease are especially prone to acid reflux.
Why is acid reflux a problem to PD?
How does Parkinson's disease change the action of GI tract?
How to control the bloating and acid reflux?
Dealing early with acid reflux can help you prevent such problems as pneumonia, scarring and hospitalizations later on.

You are correct, Acid Reflux (GERD) is a very common symptoms and can be seen in PD.
Some PD patients may have delayed gastric emptying, and this may potentially worsen the severity of the GERD.
Best treatement is to take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole, among others.
Sometimes, small frequent meals also can help, avoiding spicy foods.
These measures usually help with the bloating and symptoms of acid reflux.

Dear Doctor,

Why people with Parkinson's disease are especially prone to acid reflux?
Why is it a problem to PD patient?
How to avoid and control the acid reflux?

Dear Teo,
The reason that people with PD so often develop heartburn and/or acid reflux is because PD can cause gastroparesis (slowed stomach emptying). PD can affect the muscles that move the gastrointestinal tract, slowing them down.
In the stomach, this means that instead of food moving through at a normal pace, the stomach muscles move so slowly that the food remains inside for an abnormally long time. The food, mixed with stomach acid, can become very acidic, can create gas, and the upward pressure of the gas can cause the acidic contents to move upward, toward the esophagus, causing the feeling of heartburn.
If the acid content moves past the esophageal sphincter, into the throat, that is "acid reflux."

Dear Teo,
Thanks for your post, it's a good reminder that bloating can be caused by a number of conditions, and it's important to talk with your doctor. The PD medications known as agonists, such as Requip and Mirapex, can cause bloating. Also, gastroparesis (slowed stomach emptying) can cause excess stomach acid, which, mixed with food, creates gas and bloating in the stomach. I encourage all folks to talk with your doctor if this occurs.

PD a progressive muscles disorders
Q: PD a progressive muscles movement disorders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Muscle a tissue whose cells have the ability to contract, producing movement or force. Muscles possess mechanisms for converting energy derived from chemical reactions into mechanical energy. The major functions of muscles are to produce movements of the body, to maintian the positions of the body against the force of gravity,to produce movements of structures inside the body, and to alter presures or tensions of structures in the body.
There are three types of muscle i.e. "striated muslce attached to the skeleton, "smooth muscle, which is found in such tissues as the stomach, gut and blood vessels, and cardia muscle which forms the walll of the heart..
PD patients lose the abilty to monitor of the body muscles movement ie. striated muscles, smooth muscle and cardia muscle. Therefore they have
body tremor, rigidity and a poverty of spontaneous movement. The common symptom is tremor which affects one hand, spreading first to the other limbs. The patients have am expressionless face, unmodulated voice , an increasing tendency to stoop, and a shuffing walk.
The late treatment of PD patients will developing more diseases, ie. constipation, poor vision, swallow, anxiety with brain and nerve breakdown, heart failure, liver, kidney diseases.
