The New Phenomenal Gerd Diet Cookbook: Essential Guide With Healthy Recipes

By Christine Louise

Acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) involve acid backflow from your stomach into your esophagus. This can cause heartburn and other symptoms. One reason why GERD and acid reflux happen is a weakening in or damage to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) - the valve between your stomach and esophagus. Proper treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) always begins with a visit to a healthcare professional to obtain an accurate diagnosis. It is important to recognize that chronic reflux does not get better on its own. Over-the-counter remedies may provide short-term symptom relief, but can mask an underlying disease if used long-term. Certain foods tend to encourage symptoms of GERD. You may be advised to eat these foods less often or to cut them out of your diet completely. If your esophagus is damaged from GERD, it's also important to avoid foods that can irritate this more sensitive tissue and damage it further. The way you eat may also be a factor in your symptoms. Changing the size and timing of your meals can significantly reduce heartburn, regurgitation, and other symptoms of GERD. You may also be advised to eat in a way that helps you lose weight, since extra weight can put pressure on your abdomen and increase your risk of GERD symptoms. Eating right for GERD does not have to mean cutting out all of your favorite foods. Making just a few, simple modifications to your current diet is often enoug. Having smaller meals, eating slowly, and avoiding certain foods may help relieve symptoms of GERD. Foods to eat with acid reflux may include vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats. You may find your symptoms improve if you avoid fatty and spicy foods, chocolate, and caffeine.
