You may spend mealtimes avoiding specific meals and drinks if you have acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Stomach acid leaks back into the esophagus as a result of these diseases.
What you eat has an impact on GERD symptoms. Coughing, nausea, and hoarseness are some of the symptoms. GERD is also connected with burping, sore throat, and regurgitation. Some of your symptoms may be relieved by the foods you choose to include or exclude from your diet.
Coffee, colas, and acidic drinks are frequently at the top of the "don't" list. These drinks may exacerbate the symptoms of GERD. Here's what you should drink instead to help alleviate discomfort.
Herbal tea
Herbal teas aid digestion and relieve a variety of stomach ailments, including gas and nausea. For acid reflux, try a caffeine-free herbal tea, but steer clear of spearmint or peppermint drinks. For many people, mint causes acid reflux.
Chamomile, licorice, slippery elm, and marshmallow may be more effective herbal GERD therapies.
Licorice aids in the production of mucus on the esophageal lining, which helps to reduce the effects of stomach acid. However, there isn't enough proof to back up the claims that fennel, marshmallow root, or papaya tea are beneficial.
When using dried herbs as tea extracts, one teaspoon of herb per one cup of hot water is recommended. Covered, steep leaves or flowers for 5 to 10 minutes. Steep for 10 to 20 minutes if you're using roots. Drink two to four glasses each day for optimal benefits.
Amazon sells chamomile, licorice, and slippery elm teas.
Be aware that some plants can interact with prescription drugs, so consult your doctor before attempting to use an herbal cure.
Low-fat or skim milk
Cow's milk can be difficult to digest for certain people and contains a lot of fat. Full-fat cow's milk, like all high-fat meals, can induce or aggravate reflux symptoms by relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter.
If you must consume cow's milk products, pick those with the least amount of fat.
Plant-based milk
Plant-based milks are a fantastic alternative for folks who are lactose intolerant or who just have more acid reflux symptoms when they consume dairy. These goods are now accessible in a number of forms, including:
• milk made from soy
• milk made from almonds
• flaxseed milk
• milk made from cashews
• milk made from coconut
Almond milk, for example, has an alkaline composition that can help ease acid reflux symptoms by neutralizing stomach acidity. Soy milk is lower in fat than most dairy products, making it a better option for persons who suffer from GERD.
Carrageenan is a frequent nondairy beverage addition that may cause stomach issues. If you have GERD, read the labels, and stay away from this addition.
Fruit juice
Citrus juices and other acidic beverages, such as pineapple juice and apple juice, can produce acid reflux. Other juices are less acidic and, as a result, are less likely to cause GERD symptoms in the majority of people. The following are some good choices:
• juice of carrots
• juice of aloe Vera
• juice of cabbage
less acidic vegetables, such as beet, watermelon, spinach, cucumber, or pear, are used to make freshly juiced beverages.
Because tomato-based meals can aggravate reflux, avoiding tomato juice may help to alleviate GERD symptoms.
Smoothies
Smoothies are an excellent method for almost everyone to get additional vitamins and minerals into their diet. They're a fantastic (and delicious!) solution for GERD sufferers.
When creating a smoothie, opt for low-acid fruits like pear or watermelon, which are also good for juices. Green veggies like spinach or kale can also be included.
This low-carb smoothie with spinach and avocado is a great way to start your day. This vegan green tea smoothie with green grapes is another alternative.
Water
Sometimes the most straightforward solutions are the best. Most water has a neutral pH of 7.0, which can aid in raising the pH of an acidic meal.
Although this is a rare occurrence, drinking too much water might disturb your body's mineral balance, increasing your chances of acid reflux.
Coconut water
Acid reflux sufferers may also benefit from unsweetened coconut water. This beverage is high in potassium, which is an important electrolyte. These electrolytes help to maintain pH equilibrium in the body, which is important for acid reflux management.
