Pain, Depression, and Reflux

Vera Said:

What are the best and worst foods for acid reflux?

We Answered:

A doctor is likely to ask you about your symptoms and direct you to try the various OTC remedies before s/he prescribes anything, so you can probably skip or at least delay that first visit.

Things which can make it worse include fried foods (all types), fatty foods (all types, including all beef), mint, cinnamon, raw onion, citrus (including tomato and tomato products), coffee, tea, wine, beer, and hard liquor. (Oh, great, is there anything left you can actually eat?) Being overweight also contributes. Stopping short of eating until you're really full helps.

A pharmacist can direct you to products which prevent symptoms and those which treat symptoms after you already have them.

Diana Said:

My girlfriend thinks she has acid reflux what foods should she avoid?

We Answered:

Just as everyone else has said, she needs to see a doctor but that really wasn't your question.... hehe.

And she can find an over counter medication.

But she should advoid anything that has acid in it.... like.... pineapple, Orange juice, mandran oranges, gratefruit, etc. I am sure the chinese hasn't been helping, they usually put a lot of acid in it not to mention soy sauce.

If she wants to go all natural and not use "medication" then she can drink milk, its a natural way to get rid of stomach acid. Or if that isn't cutting it, she can go to her local health food store and they will totally give her stuff to help her a long.

I wouldn't suggest avoiding acid foods forever, she can certainly eat them every once and awhile, just not more then two times a week, and that stretching it.

I hope I was helpful. =)

Leon Said:

Are there any foods that can help acid reflux?

We Answered:

Not many people seem to be aware but its not so much what you eat as it is when you eat it. After you eat, do not go to sleep for at least 6 hours and you WILL see improvement. But not many of us Americans are willing to compromise when it comes to food. *cough Hence our obesity rate *cough.
