natural remedies

When I first learned that I had acid reflux I knew that I didn’t want to take medication for the rest of my life. I wanted a natural remedy for acid reflux. I have always liked the idea of not having to take drugs if I don't have too. I’m going to share with you a few of the natural remedies that I have tried and had some success with.

Apple Cider Vinegar

I first learned about vinegar for acid reflux from a medical expert. He told me that my stomach actually needs acid. The reason my acid reflux was a problem for me was because my stomach wasn't producing enough acid. The solution was to take a teaspoon of vinegar to help my stomach out with the production of acid. It worked really well!

Eating Celery

This was another remedy that I experimented with. What I tried was eating a piece of celery before, during, or after each meal. What I found out was that it would help relax my stomach. You will find that it has a real soothing effect on your stomach. This is well worth trying if nothing else seems to work.

Milk

Try drinking a glass of milk before each meal. This will only work if you don't have problems with dairy. I tired this one out myself. I always found that milk helped me with spicy foods so I tried it on my acid reflux. This worked well for me.

Yogurt

As long as you don’t have a problem with dairy you should find yogurt to be very soothing. Yogurt is really good at helping people diegest their foods better and is generally good for the stomach. A little yogurt after each meal can go a long ways.

Vegetable Diet

Vegetables and fruits can help reduce acid reflux a great deal. What is important is to find out witch ones don't bother your stomach. Some people will find citric to bother their stomach. There are also some people who may find that the citric fruits will offer relief from acid reflux. Some people will find that some citric fruits can actually help your stomach produce the amounts of acid that it really does need.

Stay Away From Red Meat

I have found that many red meats will bother my acid reflux. This may have to do with the amount of grease and fats that are found in it. Keep red meat to a minimum, make sure it is lean if you do eat it, and cook it in the right ways to reduce the amount of grease.

All of these natural remedies should help you stop acid reflux. Go a head and give a few a try!
