Articles related to HEARTBURN

Johns Hopkins assembled this list of not just foods that contribute to symptomatic chronic reflux, but also of foods that can reduce and prevent reflux. The former includes some obvious suspects such as pizza and potato chips, with high fiber foods, watery treats, and alkaline snacks making up the preventative, providing your patients with some tasty and sensible replacements.

Your patients love spicy food, but they hate the heartburn that comes with it. Diet is the first line of defense when it comes to managing acid reflux symptoms and gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD), so be sure to have your patients — and yourself! — stock the pantry and the fridge with these foods to avoid the hunger and eventual pain. And in case of a slip, the list includes some home remedies they can try to help soothe the burn.
