Acid reflux, heartburn, stomach bloating...... Gastroesophageal reflux is one of the most people who have suffered from stomach problems

When you're uncomfortable, try your best to do whatever you can, and listen to me say that the "little tricks" you think are effective and usable can be a minefield

Don't step on any of the three minefields

Some people say that sodas are alkaline and can neutralize stomach acid?

In fact, drinking water can help dilute stomach acid, but don't expect the alkalinity in sparkling water to neutralize stomach acid.

A large amount of carbon dioxide is flushed into the soda water, which is more likely to cause stomach bloating and cause stomach upset.

When refluxing acid, you can drink a little warm water.

Milk contains phospholipids, which reduce acid-induced mucosal damage and play a protective role.

Its protein has the effect of promoting gastric acid secretion, and also has the effect of synthesizing gastric acid. It is generally believed that the former is more effective than the latter.

Because for people with gastroesophageal reflux disease, milk is high in fat and calcium, which will stimulate gastric acid secretion and aggravate discomfort.

Therefore, it is recommended to drink less milk when refluxing acid.

Some home remedies say

Is it good to eat slices of baked steamed buns with acid reflux?

Although chyme in the process of food digestion can indeed play a role in isolating gastric acid to a certain extent, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

To relieve acid reflux, try these methods

If you are overweight, you should control your weight

Increased abdominal pressure is one of the factors contributing to GERD.

Some patients with GERD lose weight and experience significant reduction in reflux symptoms, and some are even cured.

However, it is important to lose 1kg of weight per week.

Fasting before bedtime

Do not eat 3-4 hours before bedtime at night to avoid nocturnal regurgitation.

When you fall asleep, you can raise your head and keep your left side to reduce the pressure on your stomach.

Quit smoking

Smoking is closely related to the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease, and many old smokers have symptoms such as acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion.

Maintain a good mood

Mood changes in eating can lead to stomach dysfunction.

Some antidepressant medications can cause parasympathetic excitation and may worsen regurgitation.

Emergency responses to high levels of stress can also worsen the condition.

Eat on time

It is recommended to eat at a fixed time every day and eat three meals regularly. Especially breakfast should not be neglected to avoid hunger and a full meal.
