Acid Reflux Treatment Options Part Two
As I mentioned on the first part of Acid Reflux
Treatment Options, H2 blockers dramatically changed the treatment of both peptic ulcer disease and
heartburn.
A new class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors suppress at the
production even more powerfully than H2 blockers.
The "proton pump" is a biochemical mechanism in the cell wall of the acid producing cells of the
stomach that releases HCl into the stomach. If this pump is blocked at no acid is released. These drugs reduce the
acid even more effectively than the H2 blockers can.

As you'll notice, none of the drug treatments actually reversed the reflux. Rather they neutralize the acid in the
stomach so that the liquid reflux and into the esophagus isn't quite as irritating.
Surgical Acid Reflux
Treatment Options
Surgery takes a different approach. The surgical treatment options acid reflux attempt to re-create the lower
esophageal sphincter and thereby actually prevent the reflux from happening.
Obviously surgery is a bit more dramatic than taking a pill every day but for some people it's the right option. I
describe surgery bit more on another page.

Remember that both drug and surgical therapy have associated risk and possible complications.
