Having acid reflux can quickly become problematic within every day life. Besides the pain and inconvenience that comes along with this experience, having to explain it to others can become tiresome. Make it more tolerable to live with acid reflux by reading this tips in this article and using them!

Slow down! When you eat more slowly, your body is able to keep up with what is being deposited in your stomach. This means that it will know that it is full when it truly is full, and you will eat less. If you overeat, you'll find your acid reflux goes crazy.

The more fluid you drink during your meal, the more volume is placed in your stomach. This causes more distension in the stomach and adds pressure to the lower sphincter of the esophagus, creating the perfect condition for acid reflux. Try drinking between meals and drink water in small sips rather than big gulps.

If you are experiencing acid reflux issues and you do not have an antacid on hand, you can use baking soda to alleviate the problem. One spoon of baking soda mixed with a cup of water is a simple and inexpensive antacid. You will start to feel relief within a few minutes of taking it.

We truly are what we eat. If we eat high-fat foods, we will become obese and be at risk for acid reflux. It is important that we instead focus on low-acid foods, which are lean and healthy. Choose vegetables and whole-grain carbohydrates along with lean protein for your meals to curb your suffering.

It is a good idea to raise the head of your bed if you have been experiencing acid reflux issues frequently. When you are lying flat, it gives the stomach contents an easier way of refluxing. You should raise the mattress about 6-8 inches in order to get the best results.

Try popping a few pieces of chewing gum into your mouth every time you are feeling the symptoms of acid reflux. This will cause the body to produce a much larger amount of saliva than it does on a regular basis, and this will help neutralize the acid inside of the stomach.

If over the counter medicine isn't giving you acid reflux relief, try pineapple for a more natural solution. Pineapple contains bromelain, which has been shown to lessen acid reflux symptoms. Bromelain is only present in fresh pineapple or fresh pineapple juice, however. Canned pineapple and store bought juices will not contain bromelain.

Try to eat slowly. Don't eat too much in one sitting; only eat as much as you want. Be sure to sit at the table and eat slowly, chew carefully and savor your food. If you eat too fast or too much it can cause those dreaded acid reflux symptoms to flare up. Slow down and take some extra time to finish your meals.

Instead of continuing to suffer from the painful and annoying effects that come with acid reflux, take your life back. Using preventative measures and other simple adjustments in your life can make a huge difference. Remember the tips in this article so acid reflux doesn't cause more problems than it has to!
