Acid reflux(gastroesophageal reflux – GER), is the backward flow of stomach acid into the food tube that connects your throat to your stomach (esophagus). During an episode of acid reflux, you might feel a burning sensation in your chest (heartburn).
Food to avoid
- Fatty Or Oily Food
- Cheese
- Coffee
- Fizzy Drink
- Citrus Juices
- Fried & Spicy Foods
Eating Habit
- Eat a healthy diet
- Eating smaller meals more regularly.
- keep 3 hours between eating and lying down.
- Chewing gum containing bicarbonate of soda can be helpful.
Changing Lifestyle
- Raise the head of your bed about 4-6 inches
- Wear loose clothing around your waist.
- Loose weight
- Bend at the knees when you pick things up. If you bend at the waist, this puts pressure on your stomach contents, and leaning over forces acid up the gullet towards the throat.
