gangadharan nair - Certain foods and lifestyle are considered to promote gastroesophageal reflux:- * Coffee, alcohol, and excessive amounts of Vitamin C supplements are stimulants of gastric acid secretion. Taking these before bedtime especially can promote evening reflux. Calcium containing antacids are in this group. * Foods high in fats and smoking reduce lower esophageal sphincter competence, so avoiding these tends to help, as well. Fat also delays emptying of the stomach. * Having more but smaller meals also reduces the risk of GERD, as it means there is less food in the stomach at any one time. * avoid eating for 2 hours before bedtime * avoid soft drinks * avoid chocolate and peppermint * avoid spicy foods * avoid acidic foods like oranges and tomatoes (however, they are okay when fresh.) * avoid cruciferous vegetables: onions, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, brussel sprouts * milk and milk-based products contain calcium and fat, so should be avoided before bedtime Treatment:- (1) Eating only small quantities of food at one time. (2) Walking or standing for about half an hour after each meal. (3) Sleeping propped up on pillows. (4) Eating a diet free of greasy, fried, highly seasoned foods. (5) Taking milk and antacids if symptoms similar to those of an ulcer are present. (6) Reducing, if the patient is overweight.
