Food can make you feel like a king or it can make you feel like a
prisoner. In the case of acid reflux, various foods will make you
feel like a prisoner. Have you ever felt imprisoned by the
symptoms of heartburn? Millions do!
Acid reflux, also called heartburn or Gastroesophageal Reflux
Disease (GERD), is a disease that can affect the youngest infants
to the oldest elderly people. In fact, it has been documented that
over 25 million Americans suffer from on a daily basis.
And about half of those sufferers do not seek treatment for their
disease and live in misery. The fortunate news is that you can
naturally cure with the correct diet plan.
Do you know what foods cause acid reflux? Do you know what
foods help heal your esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter
(LES) which will cure the cause of GERD? Is your reflux getting
worse the longer you try to ignore that problem?
Maybe it is time you begin a natural treatment involving
the foods you eat.
Should I use Prescription Drugs?
Most sufferers who seek help use prescription drugs like Prilosec,
Prevacid or Nexium to help combat their problem. Typically, these
drugs will help treat the symptoms for two weeks but long-term
use can cause the body to produce an extra amount of acid. Let
me explain.
After using these drugs for14 days, the body begins to make a
gastrin. Gastrin is a hormone that tells your stomach to make
more acid. While making more acid is a problem, it is a small
problem compared to the risk of developing cancer in the digestive
tract. If you have taken these drugs, you will notice the bold print
warning; do not take for more than 14 days (2 weeks)!
And is there
another option? Not really! Some seek out surgery
but most of the time it is unnecessary because simple
dieting tips are usually just as effective.
Here are 5 tips that could liberate you from this disease.
5 Dieting Tips
1.What not to eat! I am going to start with probably the
biggest causes of heartburn. Here are some of the foods that
trigger it: chocolate; citrus fruits; spicy foods; fatty foods; and fried
foods. I would recommend keeping a journal noting the times and
the foods that could have possibly caused the flare-up. You should
notice a pattern in a few weeks.
2.Soft foods! To begin the diet treatment, we
recommend eating soft foods for the first few days (2-3 days) of
your treatment. During this time, your esophagus and LES will be
able to do the majority of the healing. Avoid all crunchy foods that
could scratch the esophagus while being digested.
3.Water! You should begin drinking a tall glass of water after
every meal. We recommend eating 5 smaller meals per day as
opposed to 3 large meals. Water will help cleanse the LES so it
closes up tighter, not allowing gases and acid to leak up into your
esophagus, causing the pain.
4.Chew! This is a habit you should begin Now! You should
chew your food as thoroughly as possible before you swallow.
There are many benefits including: aid in digestion; reduces food
consumption; prevents heartburn; and will eventually help you
lose weight.
5.Apples! Here is a common natural remedy that
