We all know about antacids and alkaline to help us to get rid of heartburn.
We have discovered the over the counter medications to help us to deal with GERD.
But the question we should ask, "Is there a natural cure for acid reflux?" I believe that there is and it is simply to change a few things in our day to day living experiences.
Let me briefly elaborate.
There are a number of foods that act as triggers and cause our stomachs to over make acids which in turn jump up into our esophagus causing that dreaded burning sensation.
Foods like tomatoes and certain vegetables, even milk can do the trick.
Of course caffeine and alcohol are also a couple of nasty culprits.
It has been said that 90% to 95% of sufferers can attribute the bulk of their problem, to the foods that they eat.
Eating right before bedtime is a huge no-no when it comes to battling heartburn and acid reflux.
In fact you should stay up 2 to 3 hours after you eat in order to avoid the discomfort associated with heartburn.
Should you get a bad case of acid indigestion while you are attempting to sleep try propping your head up with a pillow or two.
Just be careful that you do not put undue strain on your neck or you will have a bunch of other problems to content with.
If you have a case of heartburn try to drink a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or a teaspoon of yellow mustard.
Both of these can cause your burning sensation to subside very quickly.
Seems a little bit counter-intuitive, but I swear it will work for most people.
Yes, I believe that there is a natural cure for acid reflux that will do away with your heartburn.
