Tummy distress
BEN Fernandez has suffered from gastritis for many years. Recently, his symptoms significantly worsened.
He felt like he was being suffocated and experienced a sour taste in his mouth as well as a heavy head, gas and bloating.
One day, the chest pains got so bad that Ben thought he might be having a heart attack. At the hospital, tests showed that Ben was suffering from acid reflux, a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD).
GERD and other gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers, a gallbladder attack and pancreatitis can all cause chest pain and other symptoms that mimic those of a heart attack.
Gastritis, GERD and stomach ulcers are some of the ways our stomach signals distress. Acid reflux is commonly described as heartburn.
Acid reflux disease has risen by nearly 50% over the last decade. Symptoms include abdominal discomfort, indigestion, bloating, gas and upper abdominal pain. of Oncology in St Petersburg led a study, which looked at treatments to improve pre- cancerous conditions of the stomach ( atrophic gastritis).
In this research, Bioeffective A was administered to patients with atrophic gastritis and compared to a control group.
Patients in the group treated with Bioeffective A experienced a 92% improvement in their dyspeptic symptoms ( GERD) such as gastritis, acid reflux, gas and bowel disorders, a 58% improvement in stomach functionality and a 46% reduction in pre- cancerous stomach lesions.
Ben’s pharmacist suggested that he go on Bioeffective A after noticing how he has been regularly taking his acid- blocking pills for at least a year now.
Ben started taking 320mg of Bioeffective A three times daily as advised for a week before reverting to a dose of 320mg twice daily thereafter.
A month later, those days of feeling bloated and anxiety were gone, as was the burning sensations. He now sleeps peacefully throughout the night without the feeling of acid rising up to disturb him.
