vomiting on to dysfunction in the bowels with, for example, diarrhea and stomach cramps, we found a couple things. net viewed in evolutionary terms that make sense. switching into a fight or flight mode maximizes our concentration and performance in times of danger. elastic is, is that it becomes a problem when it starts affecting quality of life as, as it, when someone finds themselves getting stress time and time again and can no longer do anything to control. it was shown, it happens automatically on its own listening, illegal young kansas dust. and so i had him out of that means as soon as they're stimulated to perform or expect they will be. in other words, a stressful situation arises than the symptoms start right away from indies at home is awful that most people's symptoms quickly vanished once the stressful situation is overcome. but while complaints like diarrhea and vomiting normally aren't life threatening, they're extremely unpleasant. frequent sufferers may find relief by experimenting
11:37 pm
with plant based sedatives or psychotherapy. that's robert vices, specialty. he advises people to take such symptoms seriously, especially because anxiety lies behind many digestive complaints, design aside, unattended, and 1st of all, there's a tendency for it to become chronic. so when fear comes, it tends to stay and only goes away again on its own and the rarest of cases. i know why the 2nd thing is that the fear also tends to become generalized, meaning that it grows ever larger and spreads from one particular situation to another woman. those affected should question the source of their fears. is it being poorly prepared or having too high expectations? it's important to actively engage with these questions, conscious relaxation and enjoying the moment help to normalize digestion,
11:38 pm
and prevent the worst. especially when you've got big challenges ahead. on a karena finds it gets easier with each passing semester with her side. with time you get used to the exam size, you pretty much know your learning style. what's expected of you and how to divide your time. but i've, i've noticed that it's really important to take breaks and not study for 10 hours straight samstone. those games it's allowed on. one device is does feler. what we know is that many of those affected are really relieved to discover that they're not alone. fond of the scenes with oftentimes people think they're the only one who feels this way, didn't die and to go under who's getting them years. so it's a really good, a nice experience to realize. wow, there are others like me. i know people used to think that stress could lead to a stomach also, but nowadays we know that all says can't be caused by stress alone. nonetheless,
11:39 pm
having a stomach, that sensitive distress is a real drag. and that applies to you, make sure you get enough sleep. avoid smoking, cut down on alcohol and coffee, and try to eat regularly and calmly. different types of food also influence whether or not our stomachs were bell. vegetables are particularly easy to digest when they have been steam. cabbage, onions, or pulses can be a problem. generally fruit should only be eaten when it's right. sensitive stomachs tend not to like anything that's unresolved mercado and citrus fruits can also be problematic for some potatoes. oatmeal, crisscross o pastor are kind to the stomach while fried food cake muscles, or really fresh bread can cause problems. lean meat is easier to digest than fatty will smoke to me. and good hunting is especially
11:40 pm
important when dealing with meat. otherwise, you can end up taking in dangerous bacteria, like cappy lou baxa, which are particularly aggressive you can't smell it or taste it and the meat still seems fresh, but it's actually contaminated with campylobacter. the bacteria is especially common in poultry. proper cooking will eliminate the risk, but one time maximilian simon didn't take as much care as he should have the men w. and to be honest, i didn't really worry about it at the time. now i figured once i more matter, and i never expected that it would turn into such a big deal. symptoms that campylobacter usually start within $2.00 to $5.00 days. sometimes it can take up to 10 days. that's what happened to maximilian. he developed a high fever, chills, stomach cramps, and then diarrhea. yep. so thank by him and i think it was the sickest i've ever
11:41 pm
been. the worst part was the lack of sleep, but i couldn't even sleep 2 hours at a stretch can no sized when i kept waking up to go to the bathroom. oh, you end up feeling pretty miserable like them whom one of diseases of is in the maximilian doctor told him to get plenty of rest and he tried to eat small amounts of mild foods that are easy to digest. remember, well, at some point you have to eat things like dry toast, didn't bland foods, a lot of steamed carrots and potatoes sizes, lots of things like that as much water as possible. but well, as i just went right through me who was with the diarrhea made him te hydrated and he lost a lot of important electrolyte, which he needed to replace. mm hm. put him, i'd recommend drinking a few sips of tea or non carbonated mineral water and maybe eating
11:42 pm
a bit of sweet back or some banana like that. that helps counteract the diarrhea. and it also helps replenish some of the minerals that were lost. 062 yet. oh, it was steam and iced over the belonging, salty pretzels and sugary soda used to be a home remedy. but they fallen out of favor pre coming out soon as it's not a good combination and co the has too much sugar and the salt on pretzels contain sodium, but not potassium. and when you have diarrhea, you lose potassium to fidel, calm, forlorn, even though he stayed in bed and ate a bland diet maximilian cat. feeling worse. after nearly a week of severe diarrhea, his doctor sent him to the hospital into knoxville, yvonne payment him among the blood test, showed that mister to mammon had a pretty serious infection. and the constant diarrhea had left him exhausted. in the end, he wasn't able to eat and drink enough any more. we gave him intravenous fluids,
11:43 pm
of course, and within just a day or 2, he was feeling quite a bit better and seemed an ocean. and i find her tongue from keenest id. special thief can be consumed medium rare, but with poultry, especially chicken, the roll meat can be dangerous. copy of ego. what can happen is that the poultry you've bought is contaminated with, can be low battery bacteria, t in those bacteria live in the gut. and during the slaughtering process can end up on the meat as an, even if you make sure to cook them properly, like the bacteria might still be on the cutting board. you use to prepare salad. for example, on flight. it's allowed to be righty. as you touch surfaces and objects throughout the day, bacteria and viruses that can make you sick accumulate on your hands. washing your hands well it's open. water is enough to prevent infection. maximilian moment and carelessness lead to 5 days in the hospital spent in an isolation then to avoid infecting other people. but not every case of gastro. right is,
11:44 pm
is this serious naymark takes a bit of time to recover from gastro enteritis. and you should stay home and definitely not go to work if the diarrhea becomes bloody or if you have a fever that just wont go away or severe stomach pain. it's best to see a doctor off of so who maximilian is feeling better again, but he's learned his lesson. these days he makes all the chicken on his plate is well done. gastro enteritis is usually over with fairly quickly. but what if you have constant pain or feelings of pressure in your stomach? i guess trust copy can provide information about the causes. a flexible tube with a camera is pushed through the mouth to the stomach and do your dean, m revealing any information elses or to miss the throat is locally in these the ties to make it bearable. you can also have a general anesthetic, so there's no excuse to avoid examination. for example,
11:45 pm
if you have constant heartburn, that's a very common phenomenon. in a healthy stomach, a ring of muscle called the sphincter close as the transition to the esophagus. when you have hardback, the sphincter doesn't work properly, that lead stomach acid rise up into the esophagus that results in acid reflux burning and pain in the chest. but there is another less obvious form of hot burn, silent reflux. for the last 10 years now, christina lash has felt the compelling need to keep on clearing her throat. but it never really seems to help with toughness fun. that it's almost like a compulsion to get rid of something. actually it feels as if i had a cold as if this congestion as if i had something stuck in my throat. she manages a marketing agency. so communication is vital not being able to rely on her voice
11:46 pm
is hard. the 51 year old has tried throat lozenges, lots of fluids and relaxation techniques, but to no avail. hamburg based e m t specialists, christina fluke has seen a lot of cases like this is in, you take his pets yet and we see patients every day with unexplained hoarseness. who feel they have a lump in their throat or constantly feel the need to clear their throat if you'll scratchy off and they've been trying to get a diagnosis for ages and mom will hear you the pl name conklin. for a long time, christina lash thought that she would simply have to live with the problem. in the end, a family member gave her an idea that she got father, my father in law thought that it might have something to do with hot been. at 1st i thought it was absurd absorbed because i've never in my life suffered from heart. then. so then the spirit, no heartburn and no pain behind the sternum. but could her stomach still be to
11:47 pm
blame? she did some research and came across the term silent reflux. the problem, which is also called la ringo ferren, jill reflux is not just caused by stomach acid, which flows up into the esophagus. the acid also turns into a kind of aggressive gas that irritates the mucus membranes in the respiratory passages and the larynx. it leads to hoarseness, coughing, and compulsion to clear the throat. hucker christine lash, sought out in e and t. dr. from mill, you would. the particular condition den professor mark was, has concluded that all of her symptoms were typical of silent reflex thought of an this i'm an invite suit, isn't defeat at times a sensation of irritation in this area or an obstruction at times the feeling of having a post nasal drip, and sometimes the feeling you suddenly can't get any air. because aerosols of the
11:48 pm
gases from the stomach into the larynx and then possibly cause it to spasm compton, look like that. it goes away by itself. fit elephants absolutely. making a diagnosis isn't easy. a doctor will look inside your larynx within india scope. one indication can be a reddening of the vocal cords of sign of chronic inflammation. but not all cases are straightforward, including christina, less call the doctor esther. bear in mind that the patient might still have silent reflex pockets that quote, a little cough please like this. the spirit tight is dusty, the difficulty is patience. have a symptom associated with the larynx having to clear their throat. yet it comes from the stomach or the esophagus. as a follow of patients are often asked to undergo a gas trasky, but that to doesn't bring certainty for everyone. many sufferers don't have any
11:49 pm
problems in their stomach or a soft vegas, but higher up practices and we get it aligned. patients who have had lots of procedures, but nothing has been found. they haven't had the right diagnostic procedures. this thing was as close as with the most reliable method for diagnosing silent re, flux up to now is a test that measures with the probe, the ph or amount of acid that flows into the esophagus from the stomach over 24 hours. they become a big and we get a lot of requests from fat o e n t specialists asking us to check the silent reflex. we carry out special procedures in the hospital where we use a probe to measure whether any stomach acid is escaping upwards. and if so, how far it's getting. is there any acid in the throat amier? it missed me that we measure the ph with the ph test. and if we detect a ph of $4.00 over this 24 hour period, then we know that there is acid reflux,
11:50 pm
which can damage the larynx, getting to completing silent re flux and how it impacts the larynx is an increasing source of interest for researchers one new discovery is that the chronic inflammation is not just triggered by leaking gastric gases and asset. the stomach enzyme peps in, is also involved. peps in is the main enzyme that breaks down and digests our food. it leaks into the esophagus with the stomach acid and climbs up into the throat area and larynx where it enters the mucus membranes. as soon as people with silent re flux, it's something that stimulates the production of gastric acid. and the civic environment is created in the larynx. that activates the enzyme peps in which begins to damage and break down the cells of the mucous membrane hasn't got snow. these are really new findings and the cells absorb thompson and then the enzyme destroys the interest cellular connections and has
11:51 pm
a feel day. this also allows the acid to more efficiently attack the cells. this silent re, flux is treated like conventional heartburn with acid blocking medication. christina lash is going to test this treatment to see if it solves sort of longstanding larynx problems. if it does, then it's evident that silent reflex was to blame people in many countries swear by digestive shops after a meal. it has the stomach and prevents hoppin right wrong. unfortunately, alcohol actually stimulates acid production, and the stomach takes longer to digest a meal with alcohol than without. so stomach problems on to good excuse for a drink. but what does help then a simple glass of water dilute stomach acid, or try chewing gum. he produced more saliva, which neutralizes the stomach acid. and then there's the potato. it's juice is also supposed to hm. on the trail of the humble potato could it's juice
11:52 pm
really, how special powers to fight heartburn. we ask pharmacist and chemist on a katrina, harmon and heartburn is produced by too much stomach acid. if potato juice can help against heartburn, then it must counteract excess of stomach acid. let's take a closer look until the 1st thing to do is make some potato juice. you can buy it ready made, but a lot of people have potatoes at home and you can make it yourself as the quins then and you should cut out the green bits and the eyes because they might contain so many a toxic compound and potatoes, which shouldn't end up in the juice on it, but don't worry about peeling it will tell you why later. ah, so just great it and then press it to test whether the juice combat stomach acid. the pharmacist has used
11:53 pm
a centrifuge to make the juice a bit clearer. to qualify for, we're using hydrochloric acid as an equivalent to stomach acid to see if the potato juice, cataracts it. now for our experiment, we 1st try it with water and then with the potato juice we mix in a dye to show what happens when acid is added. as a woman right now, both have a yellowish color. potato juice is naturally a bit darker. as soon as we add the hydrochloric acid, the color should change. when we add the hydrochloric acid to the water, it immediately turns bright red. that means the water has become very acidic. and what happens to the potato juice? we at the same quantity of acid, but the color hot, he changes the juice has obviously largely neutralised it. it only becomes acidic, what a lot more acid is added. as
11:54 pm
record of the potato juice buffers the acid. that means it can't unfold its potential. it's practically absorbed, and that's exactly what happens in our stomachs. so it does protect the stomach looks. so why is it important to deduce potatoes with their skins, all of these a port, vitamin c and it salts probably caused this buffering effect. the skin also contains lots of vitamin c, so it'd be a shame to throw it away. so potato juice really can do something to combat excessive stomach acid and we showed you how i know we'll show you how a little bit of training can be a load of fun. clear the stage for aaliyah with
11:55 pm
