Hearburn
Heartburn is due to regurgitation of stomach acids up the oesophagus. It is sometimes an accompaniment
of hiatus hernia where the top part of the stomach (the so-called fundus) herniates up into the chest. This is
often associated with patients who are overweight and therefore weight loss can be very helpful.
Liver Trouble
Liver trouble is often accompanied by general biliousness and intolerance to fatty foods. Intake of dietary
fats should be reduced as it is the lever that has to cope, in the main, with these fats.
Nausea
Nausea can occur for many reasons, but HealthPoint offers a useful aid.
Upper Abdominal Pain
Upper abdominal pain is a very common problem and diagnosis is essential. The problem sometimes arises
in the stomach, (for example, due to a peptic ulcer), or in some cases the gallbladder.
Gallbladder Disease
Inflammation of the gallbladder is relatively common. Corret diagnosis is essential as many other conditions
mimic gallbladder disease. Dietary approach is important, and avoidance of fatty foods is essential.
Gallbladder Colic - Biliary Colic
This is pain caused by a stone in the bile duct that passes from the gallbladder into the duodenum. This is
colicky pain, which coomes in spasms. While medical advice should be sought, treatment with
HealthPoint is often successful.
