I%26rsquo;m in living hell!%26hellip;my acid reflux is out of control%26hellip; and %26hellip;I can%26rsquo;t digest my meds.I tried an over-the-counter antacid%26hellip;but %26hellip;It makes me itch! Please! someone%26hellip; can you tell me–%26ldquo;what can I do?%26rsquo;

Here%26rsquo;s 7 simple tips to combat acid reflux you can use%26hellip;

1) Reduce the stress in your life– because stress causes an increase in the amount of stomach acid%26hellip; take up a hobby or start devoting more time to the things you really enjoy.

2) Drink plenty of water– at least 8 glasses a day%26hellip;but %26hellip;Do Not eat or drink anything before daytime naps or bedtime%26hellip;because%26hellip;normally it takes the stomach around 3 hours to digest it%26rsquo;s contents.

3) Maintain a healthy diet– avoid foods or drinks rich in :

• Citrus fruits or juices%26hellip;oranges and lemons are very acidic.
• Tomatoes or tomato based products.
• Certain ethnic dishes, such as %26hellip;Mexican or Italian foods.

4) Using Proper sleeping techniques– avoid using more than one pillow%26hellip;because, that%26rsquo;ll cause folding of the abdominal area– and increase acid reflux.

5) Control your body weight and quit smoking– if you suffer from obesity%26hellip;start a moderate exercise program (consult your physician first). If you%26rsquo;re a smoker– then, now is a perfect time to think about quitting%26hellip; because, smoking prolongs the digestive cycle.

6) Avoid tight fitting or restrictive clothing and belts–because, they only compress the abdominal area%26hellip; leadingto even more severe acid reflux episodes and discomfort.

7) Don%26rsquo;t be mislead by misconceptions such as– using wedge pillows, using hospital beds to just elevate your head%26hellip;these mistreatments only cause more folding at the abdominal level. Thereby increasing reflux in the esophagus and throat.

By using these simple and easy solutions %26hellip; you can gain control of acid reflux and it%26rsquo;s discomforts%26hellip; gradually, over time%26hellip;It%26rsquo;ll become– a thing of the past.
