Article Surfing ArchiveSome Cases Of Acid Reflux May Be Cured Naturally With Better Lifestyle Choices - Articles SurfingAcid reflux is a growing concern among adults and children today, and there are more and more over the counter and prescription remedies available now than ever. But some experts feel that a natural approach to combating and preventing acid reflux may be a better and safer bet. Acid reflux can occur if an adult has a hiatal hernia, or in children if their esophagus is not developed completely after birth. The result is that stomach acid, instead of stopping in the esophagus, comes up into the throat and burns. Acid reflux can be particularly painful to newborns, and it is becoming more and more common in them today. In adults, acid reflux can also manifest itself as heartburn after eating spicy food. One of the first natural approaches to curing acid reflux is to look at your diet. Some foods that may prompt an acid reflux attack are: citrus, caffeine, chocolate, fatty fried foods, garlic, and onions. Avoiding these foods is a good first natural step to preventing future acid reflux episodes. Some other approaches for natural acid reflux cures and prevention are: losing weight if you are overweight, avoiding alcohol, eating small meals, not lying down to sleep for at least three hours after a meal, and raising the head of your bed by six to eight inches. Making some of these simple lifestyle changes may help you to avoid further bouts of acid reflux pain and may also be your chance to avoid or get off of acid blockers and H2 blockers, which may come with their share of side effects.
