Tips to Help Prevent Intestinal Discomfort

There are many ways to help prevent acid reflux, indigestion, GERD and heartburn. Some helpful ways to curb these problems are:

Keep your weight down

Avoid large and/or fatty meals

Eat slowly

Do not eat before bedtime

Raise the head of your bed

Avoid chocolate, carbonated beverages, caffeine, spicy foods, raw onions, chili, peppermint, citrus, mustard, fried foods, tomato-based foods, fruit juice and alcohol

Do not lie flat or bend over after eating

Do not wear tight-fitting clothing around the stomach

Stop smoking

Consult with your doctor to see if there is an over-the-counter or prescription aid for your problem.  Be sure to give your doctor a full list of any other medications or supplements that you may be taking.

I hope this information will help curb your acid and/or indigestion problems.

Thank you for stopping by.

  1. Good advice, it is a process. When I was younger I could eat anything. Now I am a lot more careful, I find time of day is the biggest issue for me.
