Heartburn prevention

As you may already know, heartburn prevention and acid reflux prevention can be easier and more comfortable than suffering through the pain and trying to relieve it. Luckily there are lots of ways to avoid this problem, caused when acid from the stomach rises too far into the esophagus. Sometimes, the sufferer experiences a sour fluid in the throat or mouth. Another very common symptom is heartburn. Most, but not all reflux sufferers are going to experience mild to severe heartburn, which is a burning pain in the chest area.

One way to avoid problems with reflux is to watch what you eat. Tomatoes, citrus fruits, peppermint, garlic, raw onions and spicy foods should all be on your avoidance list. These foods cause excess acid production in the stomach and/or weaken the esophageal sphincter muscle. This is one cause of acid being regurgitated up into the esophagus. You don't have to give up on all your favorite foods, but you may have to cut down on those foods that seem to trigger reflux pain.

Elevating the head of your bed can help keep acid down at night, which is a major time for it to occur. You don't want to elevate the whole bed, just the top. And, make sure you can still lie comfortably. Some people have silent reflux, which often occurs at night. They wake up with a hoarse voice and sore throat, and aren't sure why. The culprit is often acid reflux that happens during sleep. The elevation of the top of the bed can tilt your body in such a way that helps keep acid where it belongs. If these methods do not work for you, it may be necessary to take a preventative medication.

When it comes to heartburn prevention, proton pump inhibitors are important for moderate to severe cases because they actually reduce the amount of acid made by the stomach. Examples of PPI drugs include Prevacid and Prilosec. If you think these medications might help you, speak with your doctor. They can diagnose acid reflux and tell you what kind of preventative measures you need to take for your particular case. Every person is different, therefore your doctor will want to take an individual approach to treatment. There is no one size fits all remedy for acid reflux.
