What to Eat and Avoid During Acid Reflux Bouts
Understanding Acid Reflux
Acid reflux, technically known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), occurs when gastric juices damage the esophagus lining. Common symptoms include persistent heartburn, chest pain, morning hoarseness, swallowing difficulties, and a sensation of something stuck in the throat. It can also cause bad breath and a dry cough.
Managing Acid Reflux: Dietary Tips
To alleviate symptoms, many turn to antacids, but adjusting your diet can also be highly effective. Here’s how you can modify your eating habits to manage acid reflux better:
Eating Tips for Acid Reflux
1. Meal Size and Frequency:
- Opt for small, frequent meals instead of large ones. Smaller portions require less stomach acid for digestion, reducing the chances of reflux.
2. Foods to Include:
- Embrace foods high in carbohydrates like bread, rice, and pasta. These foods are gentle on the stomach and can absorb excess acid.
3. Foods to Avoid:
- Steer clear of high-fat foods typically found in fast food, as they linger longer in the stomach and require more acid for digestion.
4. Enjoy in Moderation:
- You don’t need to completely give up life’s little pleasures, but moderating intake of alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, and tea can help. Remember, these items can increase acid production.
5. Beverage Choices:
- Be mindful of drinks, as even something as popular as beer can double acid production within an hour of consumption.
Post-Eating Positioning
After meals, remain upright for at least 45 minutes. This aids digestion and reduces reflux risk. If you need to lie down, elevate your head by 6 to 8 inches.
Conclusion
With mindful eating and lifestyle adjustments, you can control acid reflux effectively. Prioritize your well-being by taking care of your diet and digestive health.
