It\u2019s not the best way to end a meal, but for some a familiar burning and bitterness rising up the throat is an almost inevitable finale to savouring a spot of rich cuisine. Acid reflux is a relatively common problem that rears its head at point or another in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It happens when a valve at the bottom of your esophagus called the of lower esophageal sphincter doesn\u2019t close properly and allows the acidic juices and food from your stomach to sneak into your throat unexpectedly, which can range from feeling a little discomforting to quite panic-worthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does acid reflux feel like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have a burning pain in you lower chest along with possible bloating, burping, a sore throat, snoring, difficulty breathing or ulcers as the acidity irritates the food pipe lining. If it persists and gets worse over a longer period it\u2019s possible for scar tissue to build up and narrow your throat making it more difficult to swallow. That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to take of it as soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What causes it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Things like lying down too soon after you\u2019ve eaten, smoking, drinking alcohol and some foods and medicines can trigger an attack of acid reflux by upsetting the balance of your stomach\u2019s digestive juices. Your stomach has too much acid, just that your body is too acidic. In fact it is thought that acid reflux can be caused by too little stomach acid.
There has been research to suggest that oxidative stress can lead to low level infections of H. Pylori that is associated with reflux symptoms too. People with hiatal hernias are often prone to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Conventional treatments for acid reflux often involve suppressing your tummy\u2019s acid production. By suppressing your stomach\u2019s acid, you take away its defensive ability to kill a particular infection known to reflux called H. pylori, so you can actually be making things worse. What is really happening is not necessarily the excess acid, but that it creeps up where it doesn\u2019t belong. Along with this, your tummy lining can be damaged and inflamed by poorly controlled acidity, leading to ulcers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Diet<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As always, what you put into your body can make all the difference. One of the keys to good health is keeping your body alkaline and this is especially important when it comes to acid reflux. There are certain foods that tend to be no-no\u2019s, foods that create excess acid in your body and so encourage more inflammation. If your body is too acidic it will draw from minerals in your bones and teeth to try and neutralize it, so make sure you have enough alkaline minerals for your body to dip into without it being a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Avoid:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Caffeine
\u2022 Alcohol
\u2022 Deep fried foods
\u2022 Onions
\u2022 Raw tomatoes
\u2022 Refined white flour and sugar
\u2022 Canned foods<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Encourage Alkalinity<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Choosing to eat a fresh, wholefood diet is key, eating alkaline forming foods and condiments will support your body\u2019s natural ecology and balance. Once you know which foods are too acidic, a basic start is common sense \u2013 eat lots of fruits and veggies, especially raw as these tend to be high in potassium. You can also try grains rich in potassium a such as millet, quinoa and amaranth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with alkalinity, you can support your tummy\u2019s natural flora by taking a good probiotic supplement<\/a>. Food that contain good bacteria are also an age old wisdom that have always been known to help us keep the good guys on the up and up in our digestive system. Fermented and cultured foods such as yoghurt<\/a>, kefir, kombucha<\/a> and sauerkraut<\/a> all are natural ways to get in good bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Tricks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

1. Digestive Aids
<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Supplementing with digestives<\/a> can take some of the burden off you stomach as you rebalance your tummy juices. This is a better idea than suppressing acid production, which can actually can interfere with your body\u2019s natural digestion process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Apple Cider Vinegar<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This trusty remedy is staple in the natural tricks for acid reflux department. It has a similar effect to your stomach acid so helps you digest your food while still having a healthy alkaline effect on your body.
Consumption instructions: <\/strong>Take a tablespoon in a glass of water before meals to reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Healing Clay<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Healing clays are such simple little wonder treatments. Bentonite clay<\/a> not only binds excessive acidity, it can also kill infections such as H. Pylori<\/em> as it is strongly antibacterial and remove toxins, parasites and heavy metals that could be causing irritation. Added to that, it alkalises your system and also lines your stomach with a slimy protective coating while remineralising your body. Overall, it\u2019s a good bet.
Consumption instructions: <\/strong>Taking a teaspoon in some water before a meal is the way to go for prevention. You can also take it as an emergency treatment when you are already experiencing symptoms. Zeolite clay<\/a> has a similar effect to Bentonite when it comes to really useful reflux tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Aloe Vera<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another natural remedy for natural reflux healing is the juice of the aloe <\/a>plant. This gel like liquid is so soothing for your lining and helps prevent inflammation that can cause acid reflux. It also has unique sugars that help you digest your food without triggering excessive acid. You can drink about half a cup before meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Siberian Pine Nut Oil<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Siberian Pine Nut Oil<\/a>\u2019s magic lies in the fact that it is effective against H. Pylori and also an excellent antioxidant. Oxidative stress has been found to be a major cause of gastric disturbances. It also is has special fatty acids that are very anti-inflammatory, healing and protective for your stomach lining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Nutrients<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Glutamine<\/a> is an important amino acid when it comes to your stomach as it is very useful for healing damage in your gastro intestinal lining. There has also been research that found that getting enough B vitamins<\/a> and folate<\/a> can reduce acid reflux. Folate-rich whole foods include things like asparagus, spinach, okra, and beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
