Acid refl ux occurs when stomach fl uid backs up, or refl uxes, into the esophagus, exposing it to gastric acid and other contents. While occasional refl ux is normal, for some, it can be frequent and severe enough to affect daily life. In fact, it’s estimated GERD causes pain for over 80 million Americans at least once a month.1 Left untreated, GERD can lead to serious complications, such as changes to the esophageal structure, known as Barrett’s esophagus, and even cancer. However, the good news is you don’t have to put up with this burden. What To Do Treatment varies de- pending on the severity of symptoms, and you should always consult a health care professional. GERD is a chronic condition, because the valve is not mechani- cally functioning—it needs a repair, not a temporary fi x from an antacid or proton pump inhibitor (PPI) pills. For mild GERD suf- ferers, simple dietary and lifestyle changes may be enough to provide some relief. These can include avoiding foods that trigger symptoms, such as coffee, tea and carbonated bever- ages; fatty, fried or spicy foods; and citrus fruits, tomatoes, garlic, onions, peppermint and chocolate.

Th is is believed to be largely due to coping behaviors that are oft en used in adolescents and adult life to manage the emotional pain and social disconnection, but can compromise health. Th e ACE Study is just one of many ex- amples that demonstrate the importance of prevention and action. When prevention ef- forts fail, responding quickly to ensure safety and establish support is very important to the health and future of children. What You Can Do While every child is diff erent, there are some things you can do to help in the aft er- math of trauma. Assuring and reassuring the child of safety will help to reduce anxiety and stress. Make sure the child knows that whatev- er happened isn’t his or her fault, as kids oft en blame themselves when something completely out of their control takes place. Being patient and listening without judgment will help the child to cope with what has happened, while giving you important insight into how the child is doing and managing what took place. And if you have concerns for your child’s well- being or he/she is not improving over time, consider seeking help from a trained profes- sional. When needed, a mental health profes- sional trained in evidence-based trauma treat- ment can help children and families cope and move toward recovery. Ask your pediatrician, family physician, school counselor or clergy member for a referral. SAMHSA off ers some practical tools that can be helpful to parents, guardians, caregivers and teachers when a child may have been traumatized—and some that are specifi c to the kind of traumatic exposure (e.g., mass violence, disaster and bullying). Th ey can be found at www.samhsa.gov/ child-trauma/understanding-child-trauma. Th is page brings together useful information, from recognizing the signs of traumatic stress to where to fi nd a mental health provider or other support. Children exposed to trauma may have been a target of bullying or their behaviors may make them targets of bullying. Information specifi c to the trauma or distress associated with bullying can be found at www.StopBullying. gov. SAMHSA also developed a free app to help prevent bullying called KnowBullying, which can be found at http://store.samhsa.gov/ apps/knowbullying.

CCB#203797 ELLOW D IRECTORY S ERVICES • REDUCE • REUSE • RECYCLE a few days post-procedure,” said Dr. Anthony Starpoli, associate director of esopha- geal endotherapy at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York City. Since the TIF procedure is performed through the mouth with no abdominal incisions, patients typically return to work in less than one week. Recently pub- lished data showed at the three-year post-procedure check-up that: • 71 percent of patients completely stopped taking their PPIs, • 90 percent of patients experienced a reduction of troublesome regurgitation, • And 88 percent of pa- tients maintained elimina- tion of all daily atypical symptoms.1 “Most importantly, these positive outcomes are a strong indicator of the TIF procedure’s safety and du- rability, providing patients who no longer benefi t from PPI therapy an effective al- ternative treatment option from chronic GERD symp- toms,” adds Dr. Lauren Gerson, director of clinical research, Gastroenterol- ogy Fellowship Program at California Pacifi c Medical Center.

Recommended lifestyle changes include watching your weight and avoiding lying down within three hours of eating. When you do go to sleep, raise the head of your bed six to eight inches. Don’t smoke. Don’t drink alcohol and do wear loose clothes. More tips are available at www.GERD- help.com. If that doesn’t do the trick, you may have to turn to anti-refl ux surgery to re- build the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. A gastroenterologist can see if you’re a candidate for a minimally invasive, inci- sionless medical procedure that is not major stomach surgery. The Transoral In- cisionless Fundoplication— TIF® procedure—treats the underlying anatomical cause of GERD by reconstruct- ing the valve between the esophagus and the stomach to restore the body’s natural protection against refl ux. This eliminates both the acidic symptoms of refl ux, such as heartburn and sore throat, and the non-acid, atypical symptoms, such as asthma, chronic cough and regurgitation. “Due to its unique ap- proach, most GERD pa- tients who receive the TIF procedure are less likely to experience long-term side effects commonly associ- ated with traditional anti-re- fl ux surgery, such as trouble swallowing, bloating and gas, and are able to return to normal day activities within (NAPS)—Traumatic experiences hap- pen—but when they happen to children, it can aff ect their view of the world, their sense of safety, their development, and even their longer-term physical and mental health. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), more than two-thirds of chil- dren reported at least one traumatic experi- ence by age 16. While not every child will be traumatized from a diffi cult experience, some potentially traumatic events could include abuse, neglect, disaster, violence (physical, sexual and community), bullying or school violence, terrorism, war, serious illness or accident, military family–related stress, human traffi cking or the sudden loss of a parent or loved one. Th e numbers are staggering: * One in four high school students were in a physical fi ght. * One in fi ve high school students ex- perienced bullying at school, and one in six were cyberbullied. * 54 percent of families in the United States have been aff ected by disaster. * 19 percent of injured and 12 percent of physically ill youth have post-traumatic stress disorder, a debilitating mental health disorder. Th e eff ects of trauma, when left un- treated, can have a profound impact on a child. Some of the common responses in the aft ermath include diffi culty sleeping, isolation, trouble focusing, and even angry and aggressive behavior. Imagine, then, a traumatized child trying to learn in a class- room—wanting to be alone, distracted by memories of the trauma, and possibly hav- ing intense responses to teachers and stu- dents. It is important to understand what may stem from the trauma so that behavior shift s can be linked with what happened and appropriate support can be in place. If that doesn’t happen, school performance, friendships and healthy development can be jeopardized. When Trauma Is Left Unaddressed At times, signs that a mental health con- cern may be emerging go unrecognized. For some children and families, it can be diffi cult to reach out for help with mental health. In part, this could be because trau- matic experiences can be viewed as some- thing to get through and forget about and are not given the same level of attention as a physical injury. However, the seriousness of traumatic experiences is shift ing as more and more people recognize that getting help for traumatic experiences is essential for living a healthy, productive and long life. Between 1995 and 1997, the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study (www. cdc.gov/violenceprevention/acestudy/index. html) was conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente. Th e study examined the eff ect of “adverse experiences, ” such as traumas, experienced in childhood, as reported by adult patients of a large health plan. Th e study revealed that for people who have fi ve or more adverse childhood experiences, their life span P.O.
