Can Pyloric Stenosis Managed Naturally? – Alternative Treatment
Abstract
The stomach is the muscular organ found in the upper abdomen on the left side of our body. It contains enzymes and HCl (Hydrochloric acid) which helps in the breakdown of the substances after the second phase of digestion. The stomach also contains gastric juice called pepsin which helps the protein to break down into polypeptides. The stomach is then connected to the pylorus the food from the stomach is passed through the pylorus into the duodenum. Pylorus facilitates the movement of food from one part to another. When the Pylorus is affected it leads to difficulty in moving the substance and one of the rare diseases which are included in this condition is called Pyloric stenosis.
