Treatment of Scleroderma of the Esophagus
There is no cure for systemic scleroderma – instead, the treatment focus is to reduce the risks of acid reflux from damaging the esophagus: Eating small meals frequently, rather than a single large meal. Standing or sitting up for 1 to 3 hours after eating to keep stomach content and stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus. Avoiding things that can aggravate acid reflux, such as eating spicy and fatty food, as well as drinking alcohol and caffeine. Chewing food well
Taking heartburn medications, including proton pump inhibitors to reduce stomach acid formation. Main Menu
