What Foods to avoid and foods to eat with acid reflux

There are many different medications for the quick relief of acid reflux disease. However, an easy and effective long term solution can be as simple as following an acid reflux diet.

The first thing to do is eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. If you do this, your stomach will produce less acid for the smaller amount of food, therefore less acid will be available to enter the esophagus. The type of foods to avoid with acid reflux are foods that are low in fat, all vegetables(not fried), non citrus fruits, decaffinated beverages, and non spicy foods. Foods that would aggrevate or cause reflux and should be avoided are high fat foods(especially fast food), alcohol, chocolate, foods containing caffeine, peppermint and spearmint, Onions, and tomato products.

An example menu for a day of foods to eat with acid reflux would be:

Breakfast
Corn flakes with skim milk
Banana
whole wheat toast with margarine

Snack
apple

Lunch
whole wheat bread sandwich with oven roasted turkey and low fat mayonnaise
baked potato chips or rice cakes
peaches

Snack
whole-grain wheat crackers

Dinner
Baked, grilled or broiled Pork Chops
Baked potato with margarine
a small salad with low-fat or fat-free dressing
steamed green beans

Following a diet containing foods that are least likely to cause acid reflux is an easy and effective way for long term relief. Even making just a few changes and being aware of your eating habits can also help to improve your overall health and well being.
