Helpful tips to relieve heartburn and acid reflux Patients with gastroesophageal reflux are advised to lose weight and get rid of excess obesity, as studies have shown that excess weight causes reflux and bloating. Avoid eating foods that cause reflux and gastritis, including: Fatty foods high in fats and oils, spicy foods with spices, citrus fruits like lemon, orange, and tomatoes, mint, chocolate, onions. Stay away from carbonated drinks, coffee, or any caffeinated beverages. Do not take any medications without your doctor’s supervision, as some side effects of drugs can affect stomach health and cause reflux and digestive ulcers. Quit smoking or avoid places with smokers, as some studies have shown that nicotine in cigarettes relaxes muscles and causes pain and reflux in the esophagus. Wearing loose clothing is one of the important precautions recommended for patients with reflux to prevent pain and severe inflammation. Follow a healthy diet containing vitamins and essential nutrients for body health, including vegetables and fruits. Divide daily meals into five small portions to prevent bloating and reflux, and to help avoid obesity and fat accumulation. You can use the Helicy Check device to test for stomach bacteria at home.
