Read
on to know what can provide relief from
GERD.
Although
it is much simpler to provide a list of what is
bad for heartburn, it is rather difficult to pin
point as to what is good for the disease. Besides,
what actually is good varies from one person to
another in terms of what causes the heartburn to
become severe. However, a singular fact remains
that it has a lot to do with the type of food
consumed, how and when it is consumed as well as
the person's ability to assimilate that
food.
Since
heartburn or acid reflux is primarily associated
with the Gastroesophageal reflex disease or GERD,
a modest research on foods that are likely to be
good or safe may prove fruitful. The answer can be
found here. Also, investigating into lifestyles
can provide a clue to what is good for
heartburn.
Can
Food Be The Answer?
The
answer seems to be in fruits, as they seem to be
the safest. But this need not include all the
fruits that are available. Bananas and fresh or
dried apples are considered to be good for people
suffering from chronic heartburn and associated
disorders. However, one cannot sustain on bananas
only and so to there needs to be a search for
other food items such as vegetables that may
comprise of cabbage, broccoli and carrots (all
boiled with a pinch of
salt).
If
the search is extended to meaty items, the ones
that fill the fare correctly comprise skinless
chicken breasts and lean ground beef (as less
spicy as possible). As for dairy products, lesser
the consumption better will be the prognosis.
However, fat-free cream cheese or goat cheese does
not aggravate cases of GERD. So, they can also be
included in the list of heartburn friendly
foods.
Ask
the opinion of a doctor as to what is good for
heartburn in terms of grains or cereals, the
answer invariably will go in favor of multi-grain
white bread, corn bread or bran. In fact, all
these are the least acid inducing in nature. Ask
what he would recommend, and the doctor would say
sweets, jelly beans and red licorice as they are
the most suitable for people suffering from
chronic heartburn.

What
about conventional medicines? The fact is, they
are not very effective. It seems that holistic
remedies are better
alternatives.
GERD
is complicated and the causes are also many such
as Candida infections, dietary patterns,
lifestyles, and also genetic traits. So it is
important to treat the body as whole, and this is
what holistic remedies do. This is why holistic
remedies are so effective in the treatment of
GERD.
