Foreign Bodies in Esophagus Classification of esophageal foreign bodies is based on location and type. Location is generally divided into those impactions above and below the cricopharyngeus muscle. Foreign bodies located above the cricopharyngeus are at risk for causing respiratory compromise because of aspiration or tracheal compression. The latter condition is termed steakhouse syndrome. There may not be an obvious cause for this impaction other than poor chewing of a large food bolus or a foreign body that has difficulty passing through the upper esophageal sphincter. Nevertheless, areas of narrowing, as with a cricopharyngeal bar, may predispose to this problem. Foreign bodies caught below the cricopharyngeus are termed esophageal. Causes of foreign body impaction in the esophagus may be normal or abnormal areas of narrowing or, less commonly, motility disorders. For example, normal structures that compress the esophagus may include the aortic arch or the right atrium. Abnormal structures that may predispose to impaction of a foreign body include any cause of stricture (e.g., reflux, eosinophilic esophagitis, Schatzki ring, caustic ingestion, or radiation injury), esophageal cancer, or external compression from mediastinal adenopathy or a lung mass. Achalasia may sometimes present with foreign body impaction, particularly if a diverticulum is associated. The type of foreign body that is impacted in the esophagus is important for management and risk of complications. Food impactions tend to occur with chunky solids such as meats and breads, which pose the most difficulty passing through a compromised esophageal lumen. As the diameter of the esophageal diameter decreases, the chances of impaction increase. Food impactions may lead to severe complications for two reasons. First, when they completely obstruct, secretions may accumulate proximally in the esophagus and lead to aspiration. Second, with prolonged impaction, pressure necrosis and perforation of the esophageal wall may occur. As a result, urgent removal is indicated. For true foreign bodies, complications and management depend on the type of object. Objects with pointed or sharp edges, such as pins, bones, or broken glass, pose a high risk of perforation. Other objects pose additional risk to the esophagus by additional mechanisms. For example, button batteries may lead to esophageal wall necrosis from electric shock and from leakage of the caustic alkaline fluid contained in the cell. As in food impactions, immediate removal endoscopically or through other means is urgently needed.
The esophagus is a long, thin, and muscular tube that connects the pharynx (throat) to the stomach. It forms an important piece of the gastrointestinal tract and functions as the conduit for
Barrett’s esophagus is not a fun condition to have. I know, because I went through it! And thousands more do every single year.
If you’re one of the 25 million or so people in the US with acid reflux, you know all too well the misery it can cause. This can go way beyond a 4-alarm fire in your chest and can include: Regurgitation of partially digested food and stomach acid Chest pain Chronic cough; frequent throat-clearing Difficulty swallowing Bloating and gas Shortness of breath Sore throat Hoarseness; laryngitis Loss of tooth enamel But there’s another consequence of acid reflux that is far scarier than an acidy burp or having to sleep propped up on pillows. It’s Barrett’s esophagus. What is Barrett's esophagus? Barrett's esophagus is a condition where the color and the type of cells lining your lower esophagus change, becoming more like the inside of your stomach or intestines instead. This process is called intestinal metaplasia and is most often the result of repeated exposure to stomach acid -- in other words, acid reflux or GERD. Obesity (especially around the abdominal area) can also be a risk factor. It can be especially dangerous because people with Barrett's esophagus have an increased risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma – one of the most rapidly increasing cancers in the United States. Barrett's esophagus and cancer Once cancer develops, depending on the degree of severity it can result in losing a portion of your esophagus. The surgery is called an esophagectomy, and it involves removing your esophagus and the top part of your stomach. A portion of your stomach is then pulled up into your chest and connected to the remaining un-diseased portion of your esophagus. The procedure has a very high mortality rate and possible complications include: Breathing problems Increased risk of dangerous infection Lowered immune system Permanent damage to your larynx (voice box) Difficulty swallowing Frequent vomiting Why the standard treatment can make it worse The most common treatment for acid reflux/GERD and Barrett's is acid reducing drugs. The thinking behind it is having less acid in the stomach means less acid available to slide up and aggravate the cells of your esophagus. But stomach acid is essential for your body to be able to begin the initial breakdown of proteins. So when your stomach acid is “shut off” with medications, your digestion is greatly impaired or destroyed. So in effect you aggravate the very area you’re trying to “keep calm” and the drug package inserts prove it! Documented side effects of acid reducers include: Dyspepsia—indigestion; burping up stomach acid Dysphagia—difficulty swallowing Dysplasia GI—abnormal cell development in the GI tract (which is exactly what Barrett’s is) Esophageal disorder—again, this is what Barrett’s is Pharynx disorder—problems with the tube that goes between your mouth and the esophagus Vomiting—more stomach acid aggravating your esophagus Tell me, how can these drugs possibly be seen as a wise treatment for Barrett’s esophagus? What IS a smart approach for acid reflux/GERD and Barrett’s? If you want to help lessen your chances of developing Barrett's esophagus (or help prevent it from worsening if you already have it), the smart approach is to... Make sure your digestion is carried out the way it should be! When your digestion is accomplished thoroughly and completely like Nature intended, there is no putrefying mass of food or acid to rise up and irritate your throat. In other words, you help eliminate a primary root cause of Barrett's (and acid reflux/GERD too!). This can be accomplished in two easy steps: 1- Make your meals inherently easier to digest The protein and starch combination is a tough one for your body to handle because proteins and starches require opposing enzymes (acid vs. alkaline) and the presence of these foods together in the stomach can cause the enzymes to weaken or neutralize each other. At that point, your digestion goes out the window! But when you instead pair proteins OR starches with vegetables, you avoid the “enzyme fight” in your stomach, and your digestion can improve dramatically! 2- Consider enzyme supplementation As we age, our ability to produce adequate enzymes for digestion diminishes, and without enough enzymes to do the job, heartburn and reflux are practically a given (as well as gas, bloating and constipation too). That’s why supplementation with a quality enzyme formula that contains a thorough blend of crucial enzymes to target all types of foods can be a tremendous help in paving the way for better digestion. Other helpful suggestions Other safe, natural measures to help soothe an inflamed GI tract and enhance digestion can include: Chiropractic treatment Meditation Yoga Acupuncture Chewing Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)—available at health food stores Healing nutrients like fish oil can help repair damage to the esophagus
