Ginger: Keep some fresh ginger root in the freezer. Every time you cook or make a hot drink, grate some ginger in. It's easy if you keep it frozen. Acid reflux responds well to it. Use plenty where you can and just a little if you don't want to taste it much. |

Advice from Jo, Newcastle: Don't take antacids for Acid Reflux. Keep a diary of food eaten and a note of when the acid reflux occurs and how severe. Change your diet. |
|
Advice from Matt, Birmingham: Avoid high-fat meals eg the fast food chains. These foods will remain in the stomach longer so more acid is secreted for digestion which can then reflux. |
What is Acid Reflux?
Acid reflux is basically acid that leaks from the stomach into the gullet. This may cause heartburn amongst other problems. Antacids are a common treatment and while they works well for minor incidents they do not address the cause of acid reflux. Many people get heartburn, especially smokers, people who are overweight, and pregnant women. Some long term damage can be done to the oesophagus; see GERD or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Symptoms
The main symptom of Acid Reflux is heartburn. Heartburn is a form of indigestion. It is usually felt as a burning pain behind the breastbone (in the front of your chest, over the heart), and happens when stomach acid damages the inside of the oesophagus. It often happens after a meal and is worse when you lie down.
Other symptoms can include:
-
An acid, sour taste in the mouth
-
Burning pain in the throat
-
Bloating and belching
-
Stomach pains
-
Burning pain in the throat and oesophagus
-
Regurgitating food

Nausea and vomiting

Acid Reflux Diet
Here are some resources for you to read about diet and acid reflux. Please read them first and you will see that most advice warns against fats. All I will say on the subject is that it is my belief that losing excess weight should be your first step and a low carb eating plan should be your second. I suffered very badly with acid reflux, lost 3 stone by eating low-carb and now eat a diet that is relatively high in fat. Since I began low-carbing, I have had no problems with acid reflux.
