Best Foods For Heartburn Relief

When you get heartburn this does not really have to deal with the heart, it is in the esophagus. This happens when the acids in your stomach come back up and into the esophagus. This causes all of that burning, nasty tasting belching, sour mouth, and hiccups that taste awful. Heartburn can even make it hard to sleep. Some people even experience vomiting from severe heartburn.

What Foods Should I Eat To Relieve Heartburn

There are different foods that we can eat that may help with heartburn. There are also foods that we should avoid when heart burn is present. I will give you a list of both. They say if you are a smoker of 20 yrs or more to stop because smoking can lessen the strength of the esophageal valve. This allows the stomachs acids to come back up. Another thing smoking can do is injure the esophagus directly. This will make your body less able to resist anymore problems that may happen.

• brown rice
• potatoes
• beans
• whole wheat pasta
• yogurt

These are some things that you will want to try and eat if you should happen to get acid reflux. If you stay consistent with these foods you will have minimal to no heartburn.

What Foods Should I Stay Away From If I Have Heart Burn

There are so many foods that can cause heart burn. I will put a few up so you can have an idea of things to avoid if you have heartburn or are prone to getting it. Heartburn can become extremely painful and make it difficult to breath and eat.

1. Fruits like oranges, lemons,limes, grapefruit,tomato
2. french fries
3. raw onion or garlic
4. ground beef chunk, chicken nuggets, and buffalo wings
5. Sour cream, milk shakes and ice cream
6. macaroni and cheese, spaghetti that has sauce on it
7. Butter cookies, brownies, chocolate, doughnuts, corn chips and plain potato chips
8. Spicy foods

Every thing that I have said to stay away from is either full of acids, fats or even salts that trigger heartburn. Even things that are spicy in your diet will tend to cause heart burn. If you get heartburn real bad then you may want to change your diet around and eat all of the things that will keep heartburn away. You can get over the counter things as well that will help reduce heart burn and some may even get rid of it for good. If you like food as much as I do then you will not want to take these yummy foods out of your diet. You will want to find some comfort such as Tums, Rolaids, Alka Seltzer, Zantac, Prilosec and eating right.
