minimum of one to two times a week.

Stick to non carbonated drinks

Switch to drinks without carbonation. Decaf tea or coffee is a good choice but water is better.
There are many flavored waters that are quiet good and good for you. Herbal tea is another good
choice. You can experiment with the foods you eat to determine which foods cause you the most
trouble. Everybody reacts to foods differently. By controlling your portions and eating high acid
foods in moderation, you should be able to stick to an acid reflux diet without a lot of difficulty.

Use nutritious meat

ground beef, steak and chicken are usually great for a main course when on the best diet for acid
reflux. Most fish is also very nutritious and safe for those with acid reflux. All of these are
acceptable in the best diet for acid reflux, but these should not be cooked with a lot of grease.
Those who want to avoid the symptoms of acid reflux might want to grill or broil the dishes.

Use wheat based food items

Most bread, cereal and graham crackers should not produce the symptoms of acid reflux. Corn
bread and pretzels are good additions to the best diet fiber acid reflux. The best diet for acid reflux
will eliminate some desserts, but other desserts should be fine for those with this condition.

Use cheese

their food and beverages. Fresh ginger is available in the grocery stores, and this can be ground
up and added to meals. Some dishes call for this in the recipe, but it can be added to other dishes.

as Chinese cuisine. Those with acid reflux might patronize the Chinese restaurants and look for
those dishes with ginger.

(The Don'ts List)

acid reflux, so knowing what's in your food and knowing to stay away from food with spices in
them is a great way to naturally remedy acid reflux. This isn't to say you are limited to nothing but

everyone, even if you don't experience from acid reflux disease. This is to let the stomach to have
sufficient capacity for proper digestion.
Avoid Any Meal Just Before Bedtime

Consuming just before bedtime, especially heavy meal, is prone to cause reflux problems. This is
because the stomach has to produce great amounts of acid in order to digest the food. The
excessive acid tends to back up into the esophagus when you lie down. Generally, a good practice
is to eat your last meal before 8pm daily.

Fast food are high in fat and will cause your stomach to produce more acid. Fast foods can also
lead to weight gain, which will add to the problem of acid reflux.

esophageal sphincter. It is the failure of the sphincter muscle to contract tightly that leads to acid
reflux.

Last but not least, an acid reflux diet should avoid foods that increase the secretion of acid in the
stomach. These foods include coffee, spicy foods, tomatoes, citrus fruits, chocolate, and alcohol.
