What Causes A Sinus Infection

Sinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. The symptoms of a sinus infection is usually severe headache and a lot of pressure in the head or behind the eyes. If you have a sinus infection you may also experience a cough, fever and congestion.

Acute sinusitis may be caused by a variety of bacteria and often develops after something blocks the openings to the sinuses. If you have a cold, the swollen mucous membranes of the nasal cavity can block the openings of the sinuses. Air in the sinuses is absorbed into the bloodstream, and the pressure inside the sinuses decreases, causing pain and drawing fluid into the sinuses. This fluid is a breeding ground for bacteria.

PPIs For Acid Reflux Disease

 

Proton Pump Inhibitors - known as PPIs - are used to stop acid production in the stomach by blocking the enzyme which is responsible for causing it.  It is supposed to be a better blocking agent than the #2-blockers. 

Promotility agents help the stomach to empty faster by tightening the lower esophageal Sphincter.  Doctors don’t like to prescribe these agents for acid reflux disease because they have some negative side effects.  Cisapride was taken off the market here in the United States because there was concern with drug interactions.  The Promotility agents are not as effective as the Proton Pump Inhibitors.

You May Begin…

 

The early stages of the cabbage soup diet allow you to discover that you can enjoy lots and lots of fruit – although you must be careful not to consume any bananas the first couple of days.  So on day one, you are allowed to eat fruit, along with your soup.  You can wash this down with water or cranberry juice, as well as teas which are unsweetened.  On the second day of dieting, focus on vegetable intake; no matter whether cooked or uncooked, you can consume all kinds of vegetables, as much as you want.  Although you may not eat any fruit, you can have a nice, buttered baked potato.  Also avoid corn, peas, and any kind of dry beans.
