Nevertheless, it’s worth the effort - especially where Heartburn is concerned, as there is a lot of great stuff out there on the Internet.
Tip #1
When the muscle that is supposed to prevent stomach acid from escaping up into the esophagus gets to weak to do its job and the acid keeps on gushing back to the esophagus, that is called acid reflux. It is a lot like heart burn but a lot more uncomfortable as generally there is much more acids and pepsins pushing back to the esophagus.
Tip #2
If your acid reflux and heartburn is worse at night, try raising the head of the bed. That way your esophagus is higher up than your stomach and less acid would trickle back up the wrong way. But before you start chopping off two legs of the bed, or put bricks under two others, adding another pillow or two could do the trick too.
Tip #3
When the muscle that is supposed to prevent stomach acid from escaping up into the esophagus gets to weak to do its job and the acid keeps on gushing back to the esophagus, that is called acid reflux. It is a lot like heart burn but a lot more uncomfortable as generally there is much more acids and pepsins pushing back to the esophagus.
Tip #4
Try avoiding the chocolate, cola drinks, peppermints, and alcohol as they tend to irritate the lower sphincter and cause acid reflux. Fatty foods and smoking can also cause the problem, which can humorously be alleviated at times by chewing gum. Since the gum creates more saliva to offset the acid in the esophagus you are effectively battling the acid that is trying to travel back up your system.
Tip #5
If you were ever looking for an excuse not to eat your potatoes acid reflux can give you the help you need. Potatoes and onions are among the biggest culprits for acid reflux and heartburn, as far as vegetables go.
Well…there were your 5 tips. I hope that you enjoyed them.
