Acid Reflux: That Burning Sensation
Recent studies point to the efficacy of high-fiber diets in the treatment of acid reflux. Try whole grains, nuts, vegetables and fruit. And if you need to lose weight, then get moving and eat less to remedy the reflux. Smoking also exacerbates symptoms, so quitting can help.
Drinking alcohol and smoking around mealtimes can increase symptoms and weaken the muscle in the esophagus that shuts off acid. When in doubt, always discuss the condition with your doctor - acid reflux can lead to more serious conditions.
