WHAT CAUSES HEARTBURN  Don't let these pictures attached put you off. I promise this isn't a biology class😁. We are just setting up an easy foundation.   So we know Mr Oesophagus right? Here is a little refresher, it is the tube that connects the mouth to the tummy. Food travels from the mouth via the oesophagus to the tummy. At the point where the oesophagus hooks up with the tummy. There is a muscle that opens up to let food move from the oesophagus into the tummy. It also shuts to stop  the contents of the tummy (food and gastric acids) from traveling back up the oesophagus.  If this muscle is slack, gastric acids can go up the oesophagus and cause the sensation we know as HEARTBURN (warm or burning sensation in the chest region) Told you it wasn't too much biology 😝😁😅 #Heartburn  #HeartburnCauses #digestivehealth  #digestiveailments #gastrointestinalhealth  #gastrointestinalailnents  #TheFABS  #TheFirstAid...

HEARTBURN  Most people are familiar with the term "Heartburn". Heartburn of cause doesn't mean the heart is burning 😝. But it sure feels like something is burning! Heartburn is a burning sensation that is painful and/or uncomfortable. It is felt in the upper and/or middle area of the chest or even upper part of the stomach. The pain can sometimes radiate to the neck/throat, jaw or arms. Sometimes the mouth would taste bitter. The pain is usually worse after a (heavy) meal, when you are lying down or bending over. It could last for minutes or even hours. It isn't usually a big deal that requires a visit to the hospital. Lifestyle changes, home remedies and OTC meds are usually adequate in its management. So this is what causes a heartburn. In the digestion process, there are acids that are in the tummy that help in food digestion. If the acids(from the tummy) back up into the oesophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the tummy), it causes th...

In the enema option, liquid is introduced into the rectum to help expel the hardened poo In the water irrigation option, water is pumped into the rectum, warm water preferably, this also helps in the removal of the hardened poo Medicines that could also be used in freeing the rectum of hardened poo are -Suppositories:they are inserted into the rectum,they help draw water to the hardened poo,which helps with it's expulsion  -Laxatives:these are given orally and they help the system produce more water to soften the poo so it can be easily passed out -Stool softeners:these are mostly taken orally to help soften the stool e.g. liquid paraffin  -Lubricants:these are mostly applied through the anus to create lubrication for an easy passage of the hardened stool The hardened stoo...

FECAL IMPACTION  Some serious years ago i experienced fecal impaction, oh yes, i have first hand experience 🤦‍♀️🥺😭. I also know another victim, oh yes, my brother Maro🤣😝🙃. We are partners in the matter🤣 Fecal impaction is a complication of  constipation in which a hard, dry mass of stool becomes stuck in the colon or rectum. This immobile mass will block the passage and cause a buildup of waste, which a person will be unable to pass. During the period before my unfortunate experience, i didn't realise i was constipated. On a particular day i eventually felt the need to go, i got into the loo to do my business, and nothing was coming out 😭 I needed tools to save the day. I was in pains and frustrated. I could feel the extra hard poo just at my anal entrance,but it won't just come out. I called out to my partner in fecal impaction, i told him.i needed toothpicks 😱🥺😭, aboniki balm😱😱😱🥺🥺🥺😭..it was a nasty experience, I eventually got my freedom through...

CONSTIPATION 101 Constipation can be easily resolved with  -lifestyle modifications  -home remedies  -OTC(Over The Counter) meds However constipation can get complicated, especially when it's not checkmated on time. When this happens, some expert medical intervention must be accessed.  The causes of constipation are quite numerous.  #Constipation #ConstipationProblems #Constipated #DigestiveAilments #DigestiveHealth #GastrointestinalAilments #GastrointestinalHealth #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop #BeFABulouS

CONSTIPATION!!! This is another quite common medical condition. The normal frequency for bowel movements (to poo) ranges from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. So, it's totally ok to poo just 3 times a week (as long as the poo has a normal consistency ie not too hard or too loose) Constipation is to poo hard stool less than 3 times a week (so if you poo only once or twice a week, you are most likely constipated, especially if the poo is hard)  It's not restricted to any age bracket, however as we get older (ie older adults), it seems to occur more often, some women seem to experience it more during pregnancy. Some infants switching to formula suffer it too. Some medical conditions predisposes one to it as well. Certain lifestyle choices also puts one in the constipation vulnerability zone. #Constipation #ConstipationProblems #Constipated #DigestiveAilments #DigestiveHealth #GastrointestinalAilments #GastrointestinalHealth #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop #BeFABulouS

WHEN TO MAKE THAT HOSPITAL VISIT FOR BELCHING AND FLATULENCE  Like we said earlier on, excessive burping and farting can be so easily managed at home. It's absolutely rare and kind of ridiculous to visit a doctor to complain about burping or farting too often or too much. However if the scenarios in the poster attached occur, then you absolutely need to give your doctor a visit. #Belching  #Belch #Burping #Burp #Flatulence #Fart #DigestiveAilments #DigestiveHealth #GastrointestinalHealth #GastrointestinalAilments #Foods #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop #BeFABulouS

MANAGING EXCESSIVE BELCHING AND FLATULENCE  Belching and flatulence excessively can be so easily managed. So, your system seems to have gas content that has broken gauges, as a result of what you have eaten or activities you have engaged in. The plan is to get the gas out ASAP, so you feel comfortable and not embarrass yourself,  especially in a public space or where you have company. Preventing the situation is best but if it has happened already then the tips in the poster would be of great help. Never hold in gas! Always let it out. OTC antacids are easily gotten, they could be in tablet presentations or liquids If you are constipated, get a remedy for the constipation and that would help to release the gas as well. #Belching  #Belch #BelchRelief #BurpRelief #Burping #Burp #Flatulence #FlatulenceRelief #Fart #FartRelief #DigestiveAilments #DigestiveHealth #GastrointestinalHealth #GastrointestinalAilments #Foods #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop #BeFABulouS...

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF BURPING AND FARTING  They are pretty obvious.  When we burp, most times there is a sound,  can be loud and can almost soundless.  When we fart, it can make an embarrassing loud sound and at times can soundless.  Burps and farts can have unpleasant nauseating odors at other times they can be odorless.  The sound and smell can cause one embarrassment and discomfort to you and those around.  Dairy products are notorious for causing offensive odors .

SOURCES OF BELCHING AND FLATULENCE  Majorly the types of food  and drinks we consume can cause us to belch and fart more or do them in excess.  Certain foods and drinks have a higher tendency to cause farting and burping. Also some health conditions could cause one to burp and fart excessively. Fizzy/carbonated drinks as well as some types of alcoholic beverages have a high tendency to cause burping and flatulence.  Foods like beans and veggies like broccoli and cabbage cause excessive burping and flatulence. Most people can totally relate about the effect of beans and groundnuts on their farting pattern.  Chewing bubble gum, sucking on lollipops and top of pens, eating too quickly and smoking are some habits that encourage swallowing of air and can increase tendency to burp and fart. Certain health conditions increase tendency to burp and fart as well, e g. constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), diabetes, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD...

EXCESSIVE BURPING AND FLATULENCE  We have earlier mentioned that gas can build up in our bodies either by the digestion process or by swallowing air. The gas is released from our bodies basically through 2 ways: - Flatulence, also referred to as passing wind, farting or having gas, which is done via the anus - Burping, also referred to as belching, which is done via the mouth These 2 processes are completely normal and happen several times during the day. However, when they are done excessively, it gets our attention and we seek out remedies as they can be embarrassing. #Flatulence #Farting #Burping #Belching #DigestiveHealth #DigestiveAilments #GastrointestinalHealth #GastrointestinalAilments #Foods #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop #BeFABulouS

So we are drawing the curtains down on bloating today to start off the next topic. Let's briefly mention how gas is generated in the body: i) as a result of the digestion process, so it's actually a byproduct of the digestion process.  ii) swallowing air from certain activities e.g. eating, drinking (especially with a straw), chewing bubble gum, smoking..... Now, it is of course perfectly normal for us let out the gas via farting or belching. Normally,we can pass out the gas  up to 10 times daily, some people can do this up to 20 times even, depending on the type of foods eaten or activities done.  Also certain GIT conditions make one more prone to passing out gas more frequently.  Holding in gas isn't good! So, let it out!🙃 But not in a way that it offends people, if possible do it in a space that won't distress others. #Bloating #Flatulence #Farting #Belching #Burping #DigestiveAilments #DigestiveHealth #GastrointestinalHealth #GastrointestinalAilments...

Have you ever gone on vacay, a work trip or just gone out of town, then you come down impromptu with a GIT (GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT) palaver e.g. the runs, tummy cramps, constipation...... or come down with a nasty cold or flu? If you have ever had such an experience, one thing that would have been on your mind is : "i wish my meds were here". Sometimes we have certain meds that seem to work for us but are not available at our holiday destination or new station.  Well, if you have your travel first aid kit with you and you remember to include your peculiar meds, then you are covered. We all need to prep for medical emergencies. Like we always say: It's better to prepare for a medical emergency and not have one than to have a medical emergency and not be prepared.  #FirstAid #FirstAidSavesLives #FirstAidKit #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop #BeFABulouS

MANAGING BLOATING:YOYO'S EXPERIENCE  So previously we had mentioned that eating too much and too fast was a cause of bloating. I have a true story to tell😁 So you see the guy in the picture, he's my kid brother,Yoyo 😝. Growing up he used to suffer bouts of bloating.  So we all went to boarding school, and when we come home for the holidays, Yoyo made it a point of duty to make up for lost nourishment he missed out on while at school.  He would eat heavily and at supersonic speed.🤦‍♀️. Next thing, he comes up bloatttteeeeddd. His typical symptoms were the -distended tummy -discomfort -constipation -endless farting  -belching non stop So my mom's therapy for him was Andrew's liver salt, Tomtom sweets, gelusil tabs. And my paternal grandmom's  (we called her Bigmama) therapy was to insert a piece of soap in his bum🤷‍♀️😱🤦‍♀️🤣🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️, yes, through his anus. Yoyo never found this one bit funny, he would wail and has to be held firmly to...
