What Foods Acid Reflux Sufferers MUST Avoid

Acid Reflux A to Z

http://www.acidrefluxatoz.com

What acid reflux foodstuffs must I stop? It's a perplexing

question for many heartburn sufferers. Changes in diet and

lifestyle have been shown to be natural components of any

long-term holistic acid treatment and they cannot be dissociated

either. A preference for healthy foods and selective nutrition to

ban certain foods and eat more of others can show long-term

health benefits to acid reflux patients.

The reduction of the consumption of unsuitable foods and the

adoption of new diet habits in particular to aid digestion could

bring about an extremely positive effect on your current medical

condition. The food we eat determines how we maintain the

delicate and natural equilibrium inside our bodies. Certain

dietary customs and nutritional habits have been shown to

contribute indirectly or directly to the degradation of a

heartburn condition. These kinds of foods are:

1. Drinks with caffeine content like coffee. They cause increase

acidity, so stop consuming large cups of coffee. Where possible,

halve your cup of coffee to give two separate drinks and drink

less coffee before going to sleep. Do not go over two cups of

coffee per day and reduce even further if you can.

2. Alcohol can also be at the same time a relaxant for the LES

muscle and an irritant for the stomach, causing an increase in

acidity and reflux.

3. Foods high in fat content have a longer digestion time and

take more effort for your body to get rid of them. They increase

the risk of acid refluxing into your esophagus and are among the

worst delinquents for triggering acid reflux symptoms. The

exceptions are fish and fish oil omega-3 fatty acids. These are

actually strong anti-inflammatory substances.

4. If you are addicted to chocolate, go for dark, organic types

in preference to others limiting your consumption to two or three

little two or three times in any week. Containing large

quantities of caffeine and fat, chocolate can also lead to

heightened acidity and degraded digestion, and thus should not be

consumed.

5. Before going to sleep, make sure that you do not drink milk or

consume any products based on milk containing a lot of calcium.

6. Leave aside food with strong mint. The same goes for herbal

tea that is mint-based. Acid reflux symptoms can be aggravated

still more by peppermint and spearmint amongst others.

7. The esophageal sphincter is also liable to open in response to

cruciferous vegetables (such as spinach, cauliflower, cabbage,

brussels sprouts, broccoli) and foods high in acid (tomatoes and

oranges, to take two examples) leading to further acid reflux.

So finally, which acid reflux food has to be taken out of your

nutrition? It doesn't matter what your current level of GERD is;

when you make the choice of an improved quality of life, you can

make the choice to terminate heartburn permanently, with a

holistic solution. You can move to eliminate acid reflux and put

your well-being and quality of life on a different level, by

making these modifications in your diet and having the right

motivation to revamp your lifestyle. The keys to solving the

problem will be yours.
