Oatmeal is not only a breakfast favorite but also an amazing source of fiber. Whole grain products and a high fiber diet put you at low risk of acid reflux.
Lean meat and seafood are low in fat and reduce the brevity of their symptoms. However, you should avoid these prepared with a lot of oil so steer away from fried food and gravitate towards grilling, broiling, baking, or poaching.
For protein, egg whites are also a good option but since the yolk is high in fat, it may be best for you to steer away from those.
For fat, it’s best to opt for healthier options like avocado, flaxseed, walnut, sesame, olive or sunflower oil. It’s beneficial for you to reduce your intake of saturated fats and trans fats because those deposit in your stomach for longer periods.
Key Takeaways
In general, to make acid reflux symptoms go away, avoid foods that trigger it. Avoid eating late at night or even as much as 4 hours before bed. Try and steer away from clothes that are tight around the waist and cut down on smoking and drinking.
Make better lifestyle choices by eating better and smaller meals in higher frequencies. Find ways to elevate your chest and head when lying down and try to get to a healthier weight and routine.
