Acid reflux

You might have heard about acid reflux. If you experience acid reflux frequently it is termed GERD. Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD is a digestive issue in which the stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus. This may lead to a burning sensation in the chest known as heartburn. Issues like burning in the chest, difficulty in swallowing, bitter taste during swallowing, regurgitation of food into the mouth are common. Certain factors may trigger the issues they are certain foods, medications, obesity stress etc… Food items that trigger acid reflux are the first and most important ones is chocolate. As you know Xmas is coming so the use of chocolate and cakes will increase thereby and it, in turn, lead to acid reflux and worm troubles. After chocolate there comes the second one that is carbonated drinks. Most carbonated drinks are acidic. Adding these acidic drinks into your already acidic gastric environment will trigger acid reflux very easily. Along with these items like garlic, fried foods, dairy products, caffeine, peppermint and junk foods also increase the risk of acid reflux disease. To escape from these issues make changes in your diet from today onwards. A healthy lifestyle and diet can help fight the problems of GERD effectively. Medications follow if the relief with these changes is not adequate. There comes the role of Homoeopathy. Homoeopathy offers a safe and permanent cure to this acid reflux disease.
