These
Simple Remedies!
Here are some very helpful way to
cure, acid reflux, bile reflux, hiatal hernia, GERD
and/or
Barrett’s Esophagus problems:
1.
Eat
Soft Foods For 2 Days - First of all, for a period of 2
days or so, you
should ideally prepare your body to heal your esophagus from any prior
damage that may have been caused from excessive acid in the past. To do
this, you’ll need to stop eating any crunchy foods such as
nuts, crackers, toast, popcorn, cookies, breakfast cereals, etc.
Crunchy foods make your situation with acid reflux worse by scratching
your Lower
Esophageal Sphincter (LES). You can
help heal this part of your body by eating only soft foods for a couple
days, allowing your LES to “rest”.
2.
Avoid
Spicy Foods & Acidic Foods for 2 Days –
spicy and
acidic foods can aggravate your LES and cause heartburn. To prevent
this from happening, stay away from these foods, as well as alcohol,
beer, and carbonated soft drinks.
3.
Stop
Smoking – If you smoke, you should stop
smoking for at least
2 days. The chemicals found in tobacco cause your LES to relax,
contributing to more acid and fumes leaking into your esophagus. Smoke
will also irritate your throat. We highly recommend a total cessation
of smoking.
4.
Limit
Coffee Intake – Try to cut back on your coffee
consumption to
one cup per day. You might find that coffee gives you pain, as it does
for many others. Cutting coffee out for a few days will help heal your
esophagus. If you can’t quit drinking coffee, drink a glass
water afterwards to cleanse your throat from any acidic residue.
5.
Drink
Water After Every Meal – After every meal,
wash down your
food with a tall glass of water. This has many benefits besides how it
helps prevent acid
reflux. This should be done from now on, as part of
your daily routine. Water is good for your body, and is helpful to
maintain good overall health. Water helps cleanse the LES so it closes
up tighter, not allowing gases and acid to leak up into your esophagus,
causing pain.
6.
The
Secret Ingredient: RAW, LIQUID HONEY – Raw
honey in liquid
form is really what helps get rid of your acid reflux
for good. We
suggest taking 1 tsp. of raw liquid honey any time you begin to feel
discomfort of heartburn or acid reflux. You can also take the honey
before bedtime, which will help soothe your esophagus and allow you to
heal while you are sleeping.
*Important note*
– honey
should not be given to infants or children under the age of 3. It can
cause serious problems, even leading to death.
Honey
works fast, and
it’s
important that you use raw honey. (This is the most common type of
honey you’ll find at the grocery store – in liquid
form… like in those “Honey Bear” plastic
bottles, for example). Honey has long been known to fight bacteria,
block infection, combat inflammation, reduce pain, and improve
circulation.
7.
The
Other Secret Ingredient: APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (ACV) –
Did you
know that most acid reflux is actually caused by too LITTLE acid in
your stomach? This makes sense when you think about how it works. If
your stomach isn’t producing enough acid to digest your food,
then more food (and gas) will stay in your stomach for longer periods
of time… without getting properly digested. So, since Apple
Cider Vinegar is so acidic, it immediately starts digesting the food in
your stomach and eases your acid reflux naturally
and very quickly.
