Foods that have high
acid level should be
eliminated from your
diet. Dairy, red
meat, and fat all have a
high acid level.
High alkaline foods are
the preferred diet
choice for acid reflux
suffers. Tobacco,
beer and coffee should
all be avoided.

A home remedy that is
recommended is blackstrap
molasses. It is said that those
who take at least 2 teaspoons a
day have lessened their acid
reflux symptoms. You can find
blackstrap molasses at any
health food store.
Another popular home remedy
for acid reflux is eating
apples. There is pectin in
apples and this is said to be a
wonderful home remedy for acid
reflux. All you need to do is
eat a few slices of apple after
meals and you should not feel
much pain from your acid reflux.
A home remedy for acid reflux
you can start practicing right
away is having six or seven
smaller meals throughout the day
instead of two or three large
ones. Often you will suffer with
acid reflux symptoms when you
have overstuffed yourself and
your stomach acid production
goes into overdrive. Having
smaller more frequent meals can
help your stomach balance the
proper amounts of acid, without
having you suffer with acid
reflux.
You can also try elevating
your bed between six and twelve
inches. Many times lying on your
back will have the acid coming
back up into your throat and
make sleeping difficult. If you
raise your mattress and have
your head elevated, it may
prevent the acid from coming
back up into your throat and you
may have a more peaceful nights
sleep. |
