Question by Todd: Whats a good diet to help prevent acid reflux?
I seem to get reflux from eating something as simple as a bowl of plain oats. Is there any special diet out there for you folks suffering acid reflux or GERD? Or is it more about the proportions you eat?

Best answer:

Answer by sdgurl
Typically, you want to stay away from acidic foods (tomatoes, citrus), and fatty foods. Acidic because acid is what’s hurting your esophagus, and fatty because it slows the transit of food out of your stomach….Other foods to avoid are coffee, chocolate, peppermint, onion, and garlic because these actually relax the sphincter between your esophagus and stomach, allowing the contents of your stomach to splash up into your esophagus. Proportion does play a role, too….smaller meals have less of a chance to back up. Weight is an issue too…the more fat in your abdominal area, the more is pressing up on your stomach. And some people have luck sleeping with the head of their bed elevated 6 inches or so (if they have problems at night). If you haven’t already, go see a gastroenterologist to check out your esophagus and stomach….make sure you don’t have any serious damage done by prolonged exposure to acid…this can lead to esophageal cancer if not treated with a simple pill.

What is Acid reflux disease and heartburn?

What causes heartburn are usually factors such as stress, over eating, eating certain foods or a combination along with smoking, caffeine, citrus fruits and drinks, tomato products, fatty or spicy foods. Heartburn symptoms are a mild or intense burning in the chest along with a sour or bitter taste in the mouth and throat.

Question by rose_death_by_stereo_shadow_vbbc: How can I diet and exercise with illnesses that prevent me from doing so?
I am a fifteen almost sixteen year old girl, and I want to start loosing weight. I am 5’4″ and weigh almost 190 pounds (though people think I am lying because they say I look about 150). I am determined to lose this extra flab and I have even started a nice, healthy diet, but it is difficult for me.

First off, I have a bad combination of acid reflux disease and developing Crohn’s Disease, and lactose intolerance that prevents me from eating some food that would be good for me, but gives me nausea and “stomach problems” to put it lightly.

Also, I have anemia and a very bad case of asthma (I cant walk from one end of out tiny school to the other without taking my inhaler) these prevent me from getting enough excercise because I quickly become weak and my chest tightens and I double over coughing.

I am not blaming my illnesses for being overweight, but they get in the way of me getting healthy. Please help! What should I do?

Easy Ways to Prevent Heartburn

Your risk of developing exercise induced heartburn increases if you exercise too soon after a meal, particularly a large meal. If possible, wait several hours after a meal before heading to the gym to give your food a chance to move out of the stomach into the small intestines. Try to avoid overindulging at mealtime if you know you’ll be exercising later that day.

Try it yourself; have someone sit on your stomach after a meal and watch the acid rise back up the digestive tract. It’s a very uncomfortable feeling. Imagine how uncomfortable it will be for a pregnant woman.

How To Prevent Heartburn in Pregnancy

During pregnancy, common everyday ailments tend to feel worse, especially during the first and third trimesters. Heartburn is no different. Heartburn is a common ailment, and during pregnancy it tends to surface even more. Most women experience heartburn in pregnancy at some point during their nine-month journey. However, some can be affected worse than others. Fret not-there are things you can do to limit the severity of heartburn during your pregnancy.

During the third trimester the baby grows big enough to put pressure on your stomach. This causes the acid in the stomach to reflux. This can be easily avoided, however by avoiding binging and by eating small meals. This will keep acid reflux at bay. Instead of eating three large meals, try to eat five to six smaller meals spread throughout the day.

Your sleeping position can also cause acid to reflux. Sleep with your head and torso elevated to keep the food down in your stomach. Keep yourself comfortable by putting a pillow under your head and your back. Also, try to avoid going to bed within two hours of eating. Wait at least two hours before lying down to give your body some time to digest the food. As a general rule, go to bed two to three hours after you eat to mitigate heartburn in pregnancy.
