Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Food to Cure Acid Reflux
You learn rather quicker by experience that when you eat or drink certain things in certain amounts, your acid reflux acts up. Wouldn’t you like to know what those foods are right away, so you can be forewarned and perhaps forearmed with medicines if need be?
The following is everything you need to know how what you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat can influence your acid reflux.
Fifteen years ago, the standard anti-reflux diet called for restricting foods that seemed to bring on or aggravate acid reflux symptoms that are spicy foods, acidic foods, fatty foods, as well as coffee, tea, and cola drinks. Two extra foods were also on the list of food no because they were brought to lower the esophageal sphincter pressure, which would encourage stomach acid to reflux into the esophagus. What are those two foods? Get ready, because I can guarantee you aren’t going to like this..peppermint and chocolate.
- Foods that weaken the lower esophageal sphincter muscle encouraging acid reflux or heartburn and should be eaten in smaller portions or limited:
- Fried or fatty foods
- Coffee (including decaffeinated coffee which increases acid content in the stomach).
- Alcoholic beverage. (although some studies have shown that small amounts of alcohol may actually protect the mucosal layer)
- Chocolate
- Peppermint and spearmint
- Garlic
- Onions
