At one time or another, we all suffer a sudden bout of acid reflux - hydrochloric acid from the stomach moving up into the esophagus, burning the throat. For most people, it is a random, uncommon event. But for many, it can be a torturous, daily occurrence that destroys the quality of life, and can ruin even the happiest of events. The cause: a weak valve between the stomach and esophagus.
Now there is help via a minimally invasive procedure called Enteryx. The procedure involves injecting a rubbery polymer into the valve between the stomach and esophagus, to stiffen the weak valve, allowing it to open and close more completely. The latest studies show that in 70% of patients, this procedure stopped stomach acid from rising past the valve.
If you suffer acid reflux regularly, and medication is not working or you would prefer not to take the risks inherent in long term medication, ask your doctor about Enteryx.
