Digestive disorders are common in the United States, hence the proliferation of new diet plans and ways of thinking about food that complicate dinners across the country. Many people struggle to adjust their diets to deal with their disorders, leading to pronounced symptoms, some of which include weight gains and losses.
Fluctuation in weight is normal, but too much fluctuation can exacerbate digestive issues and other conditions affecting how the body absorbs and processes the energy it needs to function.
If you’re dealing with digestive disorders, like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), for example, losing weight could help lessen those symptoms. With many weight loss options available these days, including procedures like laser lipo, you can help yourself fight off these pesky problems.
Weight Loss as a Solution to Symptoms of Digestive Disorders
Many digestive issues can’t be solved or reduced by losing weight, but there are certain common diseases that respond well to maintaining a healthy weight. Let’s take GERD as an example.
The most common symptom of GERD is persistent heartburn. That’s because stomach acid rises into the esophagus and causes havoc. There are many ways to treat this disease and reduce heartburn symptoms. Chances are, if you’ve been diagnosed with GERD, you’re routinely filling antacid prescriptions or buying them over the counter. Heartburn caused by GERD can also be relieved temporarily by eating because the saliva generated during the process neutralizes the acid. This leads to a dangerous situation for GERD sufferers. Many people with GERD overeat just to get relief from heartburn, which can lead to weight gain. Excess weight can then put more pressure on your stomach than normal, which forces more acid up into your esophagus.

Where Laser Lipo can Fit
Dr. Tred Rissacher’s laser lipo clinic, Slim Body Laser Spa, in Stuart, Florida, offers fast weight loss options that help patients reach and maintain a healthy weight. Dr. Rissacher’s FDA-cleared treatment targets specific areas of the body where subcutaneous (under the skin) fat is most prevalent. Using a specialized laser, the device gets the fat cells hiding under the skin to release the fat they’re holding, which is then flushed from the body naturally. The result is significant weight loss and the reduction of at least three inches off the waistline.
Losing weight fast won’t cure you of a digestive disorder like GERD, but it will make it easier to treat the disease and avoid some of the weight and nutrition problems that often accompany digestive disorders. In addition to the laser lipo treatment itself, Dr. Rissacher also provides diet planning and helps patients build what he calls a ‘nutrition and movement’ program. By creating healthy habits that emphasize whatever level of exercise you’re comfortable with and watching what you eat, you can maintain a healthy weight and help ward off complications caused by your digestive disease, many of which can lead to more difficult and serious health problems.
