HuffPost • • health
Key Points:
- Acid reflux, including chronic forms like GERD, causes discomfort when stomach acid moves into the esophagus and throat, and certain foods can worsen or alleviate symptoms.
- Experts recommend low-fat, less acidic, and high-fiber foods in smaller portions to help prevent acid reflux symptoms.
- Top recommended foods and drinks for reducing acid reflux include oatmeal, bone broth, low-acid green juices (e.g., cucumber, celery, spinach), ginger (in tea or grated form), bananas, and water.
- Oatmeal is praised for being filling without high fat or acidity and for its soluble fiber that aids digestion and reduces reflux triggers.
- Substituting water for coffee, soda, and tea is highly effective in reducing acid reflux, with alkaline water offering additional acid-neutralizing benefits.
