Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Often the problem is the lack of enough stomach acidity combined with a weaken tightening response in the lower esophageal sphincter. I more or less agree with the food list especially for those person in which their reflux problem has resulted in a inflamed esophagus. The conventional medications such as Nexium while helpful in acute situations, when taken long term have a long list of adverse effects. A trip to alternative medicine minded Doc would be a wise investment in your health. The conventional suggest of raising the head of the bed by 6 to 8 inches with blocks while helpful isn't enough. I use 18 inches of elevation at the head of my specially built bed. It has a foam mattress. The standard innerspring mattress doesn't take kindly to being inclined and in my experience will tend to cause serious back pain. GERD was a nightmare for me. But after going to a alternative med Doc and using the inclined bed as described I've been both med free and symptom free for 27 months. The conventional primary care providers with their PPI meds and their H-2 blocker were never that effective plus they made me sick. I follow my alt Doc suggest I use betaine HCL with my fattier meals and this helps to prevent reflux. Once I was healed and provided I take betaine HCL capsule with meal some of these food are OK. In my case, I still need to avoid coffee and excess citrus. I speak from bitter experience. The PPI meds and H-2 blockers are at best a short term stopgap measure. , Rocky Ward <rachelleward2 wrote: > > http://heartburn.about.com/cs/dietfood/a/heartburnfoods3.htm > > Foods To Avoid On The Acid Reflux Diet > Food Group Foods To Avoid Fruit • Orange juice > • Lemon > • Lemonade > • Grapefruit juice > • Cranberry juice > • Tomato Vegetables • Mashed potatoes > • French fries > • Onion, raw Meat • Ground beef, chuck > • Marbled sirloin > • Chicken nuggets > • Buffalo wings Dairy • Sour cream > • Milk shake > • Ice cream > • Cottage cheese, regular Grains • Macaroni and cheese > • Spaghetti with sauce Beverages • Liquor > • Wine > • Coffee, decaffeinated or regular > • Tea, decaffeinated or regular Fats / Oils • Salad dressing, creamy > • Salad dressing, oil & vinegar Sweets / Desserts • Butter cookie, high-fat > • Brownie > • Chocolate > • Doughnut > • Corn chips > • Potato chips, regular > > > " Get off your ass and take your government back.
