How to Get Rid of Acid Reflux Disease Naturally

Acid reflux disease is an annoying, yet solvable problem. Although if it is serious, you should consider a prescription medication from a doctor, there are some "over the counter" steps you can take to stop acid reflux.

All tips are straight from my ENT doctor.

Things You'll Need

• Food

Instructions

1. 

   To stop acid reflux, cut these foods from your diet:

   1. Carbonated drinks (Coke products and alcohol as well)
   2. Caffeine
   3. Spicy foods (this means no spicy plants on your Subway sandwiches either!)
   4. Milk, cheese and yogurt if you're lactose intolerant

2. 

   The second step to get rid of acid reflux is to add things to your diet which will calm your system. These include fruit smoothies, raw vegetables, and yogurt, if you're not lactose intolerant.

   Yogurt is only a food to avoid in step 1 if you ARE lactose intolerant. Otherwise it is quite helpful.

3. 

   Eat often, because if you have the common symptom of feeling relieved after you eat, it's because the acid from your stomach is being dissolved in the foods.

   This doesn't mean you can binge on the Ho Ho's and Twinkies. Eat healthy. A side effect is that you can induce healthy weight loss by speeding up your metabolism if you combine this with exercise.

4. 

   The last step to calm acid reflux symptoms is to dehumidify the air around you. Buy dehumidifiers to get rid of anything in the outside air that may be exascerbating your situation.
