Chronic Hiccups and Acid Reflux?

Are hiccups and acid reflux common during fast?

• Answer:

  KennyS, I am sure that you are aware that "faster84" received a good answer to this question from "PM actualhealth" in CureZone.com forums which explained part of what I shall now write - the body has at least two circadian systems: one originating in a specific region of the brain and the other in the liver. Recent research not only confirms that the liver has its own circadian rhythm synchronized with meals, but that the interaction of this hepatic system with the circadian rhythms produced by the brain is important in the synchronization of internal physiology, especially metabolism. When the balance of these systems is disturbed, their regulatory mechanisms malfunction and make metabolic disease more likely. The gall bladder stores and concentrates bile during the normal fasting state. Bile reflux occurs when bile — a digestive fluid produced in the liver — flows upward from your small intestine into your stomach and oesophagus. Bile reflux often accompanies acid reflux — the backflow of stomach acids into your oesophagus, the tube that connects your throat and stomach. The answer in CureZone by PM actualhealth, implied that the circadian rhythm of the liver would facilitate the excretion of bile in accordance with the regular time of food being ingested, even though fasting was occurring, and thus cause the bile excreted into the small intestine to flow into the stomach and combined with the stomach acid and due to the lack of food, be refluxed into the oesophagus. ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. - MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED. It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.
