Acid reflux is usually caused by eating the wrong foods. In this case, the acid reflux is referred to as heartburn which is a temporary problem. Regular heartburn sufferers should think very carefully about their food choices. Do you often eat spicy food? How much chocolate do you eat on a regular basis? Do you eat garlic in a lot of your foods? Foods containing tomatoes are also known to cause heartburn. While it may seem difficult to avoid these foods, it is actually easily done. Dealing with regular heartburn is more painful than having to give up chocolate.

Is your weight an issue? For a lot of people, weight is a sensitive topic. We understand if considering your weight is difficult. Weight is one of the main factors when it comes to acid reflux. Unfortunately, the heavier you are, the more likely you are to suffer from acid reflux. You may find when you get your weight under control that you have “cured” other health issues. The foods that may be contributing to your weight gain are the same as the ones causing your acid reflux. When you cut out these foods, you are addressing both issues.

An acid reflux attack can happen if you bend over after eating a heavy meal. In order to use the food for fuel, your body produces more acid to break down the food when the stomach is full. When the stomach fills up, the “flap” that keeps the food and acid in is more likely to fluctuate. You can end up with acid in your esophagus, or even your mouth, when you bend over because that can cause the flap to fail. To prevent this, stay upright after your meals.
