Acid Reflux Sufferers, These Are Your Enemies
Manage your acid from the inside out with a healthy diet
Acid reflux disease, typically characterized by heartburn, requires more than just popping a few Tums. People with acid reflux can help manage their symptoms by avoiding certain foods. If your stomach is aching, here are six things you can do to help.
- Don't eat for 2-3 hours before bedtime. It's not good for your figure, and it's not good for your stomach acid.
- Avoid these foods:
- Coffee
- Alcohol
- Soda
- High-fat foods
- Chocolate
- Acidic foods (tomatoes, citrus. etc.)
- Skip the large meals. More frequent smaller meals are easier on the stomach.
- Don't smoke. As if you needed another reason to quit, smoking increases acid reflux.
- Sleep on your side. You can also elevate the head of your bed. Sounds bizarre, but it really works!
- Stand up straight. Slouching is bad for all kinds of reasons, and here's another: it disrupts the straightness of your esophageal tract.

Caned jalopina peppers in vinagar will do the same thing. I am not sure if it is the peppers or the vinagar. But it sure works with out all that other B./S.
