Heartburn is common as it affects 20% of world population at least once a week. But don't take it lightly. If you are suffering from frequent heartburn, it can disrupt your productivity, daily activities, and quality of life. Sometimes, it is an indication of a more severe condition known as GERD especially if you keep having heartburn. Without proper treatment, it can lead to ulcers and cancer.
If you have acid reflux, you should not just popping a pill for relief. You can find other safer ways such as changes in diet and lifestyle. Sometimes, you don't need prescription for a PPI to stop your body's acid production.
So what gets rid of heartburn fast? Here are a few tested remedies that work for me and my friends. Try them.
Have you tried eliminating spicy and acidic foods? Do they reduce the symptoms of acid reflux? It depends on individual. If certain food is causing digestive problems, then you should also avoid caffeinated beverages such as tea, coke and coffee. Caffeine has the tendency to stimulate your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid, which trigger heartburn. You should not drink carbonated drinks as they are high in acid.
Do you know that ginger has been administered for centuries on people with digestive problems? It can relieve heartburn and treat indigestion. Ginger reduces inflammation in the intestines.
Fermented foods such as kefir, tempeh, yogurt, and sauerkraut can help your acid reflux. However, you can't tell the amount of probiotics these foods contain. The ones that are available usually have lots of sugar but less amount of probiotics. I think the best way to get the optimal dosage is to take supplements.
Organic apple cider vinegar have helped many people with acid reflux. So are aloe vera juice and licorice tablets.
A friend of mine believe that the best defense against heartburn is to keep eating. Based on her reasoning, by snacking throughout the day, the stomach will always be filled. This should keep heartburn at bay. Make sense?
