Acid Reflux Disease Diet

For those who suffer from acid reflux, burning, pain and discomfort are frequent companions.? However, they don’t have to be.? There’s a huge amount of natural remedies out there to try that are effective and won’t break your bank.? Often managing your diet is the easiest way to get your acid reflux under control.

There are various types of fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, herbs and others that can help you manage acid reflux disease. These foods can help your body create an acidic balance, and keep acid from creeping into your esophagus.. Many fresh fruits are extremely helpful for people suffering from acid reflux problems. Among them, apples and bananas are very popular.? Additionally, consuming apple in other forms, like dried apples or apple juice can help too. Papaya is also said to have some acid fighting properties.? It contains a digestive enzyme that helps break down food, which prevents pressure from building up and overproduction of acids, which prevents heartburn pain.

Some of the vegetables that can help stem acid reflux include cabbage, peas, broccoli, green beans, baked potato, carrots and others. However, tomatoes, citrus vegetables and fruits like raw onions, cranberry juice and tomatoes can be problematic for people withacid reflux problems and should be consumed sparingly.

Dairy products such as ice creams, sour cheese, milk shakes and others are not good for people suffering from acid reflux disease. These products are hard to digest and cause the body to overproduce acid.? However, when consumed in moderation, products like fat free sour cream or cream cheese and dairy cheese can provide some relief.

Though there is a perception that most meats are bad for the patients suffering from acid reflux disease, there are several animal foods that can help cure relieve symptoms. These include skinless chicken breast, egg whites, fatless fishes, steak, ground beef and others.

Ginger is an herb that may prove helpful for acid reflux relief.? It has been used to relieve all types of stomach discomfort for centuries and heartburn is no exception.? It can be found candied, or in tea form and both are equally useful in neutralizing and eliminating stomach acid.? Chammomille tea is another herbal remedy some have found helpful.

Simple dietary changes can also help significantly relieve discomfort from acid reflux.? Things like eating smaller meals more frequently help to prevent the buildup of pressure and overproduction of acids.? Basically, smaller meals are easier to digest and are less likely to cause heartburn than that huge Thanksgiving feast.? Also, avoiding food two hours before you go to bed can prevent that night time burn.? Gravity helps your body keep stomach acids where they belong, and when you lay down to soon after eating, acids can meander out of the stomach.? Along those same lines, sleeping with an extra pillow under your head can help keep your head properly aligned above your stomach and give gravity just enough of an edge over your stomach acids.

Images of Gastritis

It?s nearly impossible to share images of gastritis without a biopsy, but one form of damage caused from gastritis can be seen? through x-ray and sometime endoscopic inspection.

This disease is called M?n?trier disease (also known as hyperplastic hypersecretory gastropathy,

This image of gastritis is from a distortion of the mucus producing tissue, or mucosal folds, causing them to enlarge making the stomach lining look more like the ridges on the surface of the brain.

Imagine the gastritis irritating the normally protective mucosa lining trigger? the cells to make more mucus to the point that the tissue often becomes ulcerated.

Picture these glands eventually wasting away, losing water, minerals and a protein called albumin. This image of gastritis gone out of control ends up causing an albumin deficiency. Albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma and makes up about half of your blood plasma.

So now visualize gastritis destroying half of the protein production of your blood cells . . . not a pretty picture is it?

Now this image of gastritis has really gotten worse because without half the albumin protein in your blood your body can?t maintain proper water pressure, transport thyroid? hormones or fat soluble fatty acids to the liver, flush out (bilirubin) waste from bile and urine, bind calcium ions, balance pH and prevent the breakdown of folic acid.

So as you can see the image of a healthy body can be totally destroyed by gastritis.

The image of this type of gastritis disease is so severe that the only treatment other than a high plant based protein diet, is to have a gastrectomy, which means either part of the stomach or the entire stomach must be surgically removed.

Picture living without a stomach!

High resolution images of chronic gastritis through endoscopic examination reveals that gastritis is associated with helicobacter pylori. This is the ulcer triggering bacteria that has been shown to be successfully cured with alkaline water.

You can avoid images of gastritis and ulcers by avoiding chronic dehydration, also known as biological draught.

It?s common for health practitioners to mistakenly treat the many symptoms of biological draught as a disease like gastritis or peptic ulcers. There is real science that proves that proper alkaline hydration can protect your body?s internal terrain. This terrain, refers to the balanced alkaline pH of your cells and tissue.

The only thing that should have an acidic pH in your body is your stomach acid. Gastritis images may very well be caused from a simple reversal of proper pH. This causes the opposite effect? of a balanced pH and wrecks havoc on your stomach, liver, blood cells, heart, endocrine system and more.

The image of gastritis means the stomach is lacking its normal acid pH, ultimately causing it to have to be removed.

So follow your gut feelings and learn to help prevent dis-ease by staying hydrated with alkaline water rich in ?ionic? sea minerals and eat plenty of plant-based proteins.

Acid Reflux Hair Loss

I know you?ve heard all there is to say about stress and hair loss and it?s no laughing matter, but there?s more going on than just emotional stress when you?re losing your hair and at the same time are suffering from acid reflux.

First, you?re most likely NOT having heartburn or indigestion over the loss of your hair or vice versa.

Worrying about one is not triggering the other and worrying won?t help them go away either.

There is still the question of whether, ?acid reflux cause hair loss, or can hair loss cause acid reflux??

It?s almost like the old chicken and the egg paradox, which one came first?

There are many variables including toxic exposure, dietary habits and genetic predisposition.

Actually we can rule out genetic predisposition because scientists have discovered that you can affect your genetic switch board by changing how and what you eat. If you have been exposed to toxins (Like pharmaceuticals) that are causing your acid indigestion, your hair loss may be the least of your health concerns.

As you may already know, everything to do with your health is somehow interconnected with your environment, both internally and externally.

By peaking at the ?big picture? we have a better opportunity of grasping a more holistic or dare I say holographic, perspective.

The closer you look the more important it is to try and see things from your cell?s point of view.? The truth is your cells literally have perceptive capabilities. Each cell has organelles that represent tiny functional copies of every organ you have in your body.

You are created from the constant communication efforts of more than 50,000,000 cells and when communication breaks down the signs of imbalance can be detected.

Heartburn and hair loss can definitely be considered signs of an imbalance. Are they connected? Technically yes, as I?ve pointed out, everything ultimately is.

Let?s talk heartburn for a moment.

Most people couldn?t be more misinformed about heartburn and acid reflux. The myth that everyone who suffers from heartburn symptoms has too much stomach acid is simply untrue.

When you look at the root cause of heartburn you?ll see that a stomach acid deficiency creates nearly the same heartburn symptoms as an over production of stomach acid will.

It only ?feels? like an over production of stomach acid because of the body is making sudden spurts of gastric acid, instead of making a steady supply.

Now imagine IF you suffer from lack of stomach acid that this deficiency has been going on for some time now and therefore may have caused some other issues as a result; such as not digesting food or absorbing nutrients and oxygen into your cells.

Now looking closer at hair loss we will also discover that these same minerals, oxygen and nutrients are vital for normal hair follicle health.

In fact a chronic mineral deficiency will prevent any key nutrients from entering your cells eventually stopping your cells from growing, reproducing and healing their selves properly.

So keep in mind that your thyroid, your follicles, your stomach acid and every metabolic system you have is dependent upon electrons that are released from water when special minerals are present.

Simply put, your impressive communication ?Inner-Net? between all your cells is failing because there are not enough electrons flowing around. Electrons created by trace minerals and water.

So that?s why hair follicles are not functioning properly, because without these minerals, there is less oxygen. The same goes for your heartburn issues, without the oxygen and nutritional energy supplied by trace minerals your cells cannot make gastric acid, enzymes or proteins needed to maintain a healthy digestive environment.

Try RAW sea minerals from unprocessed salt or coral mineral sachets- simply add water and drink between meals. They will hydrate and alkalize your cells to bring up oxygen levels. Stable oxygen allows the detoxification process to take place, which you hair follicles and other cells desperately need.

Imagine having an aquarium and never changing the water- that?s what your stomach acid and hair cells are going through without having access to charged minerals and water.

So address the root cause of your heartburn and you?ll stop seeing so much hair loss.

Cures for Heartburn

There are tons of different cures for heartburn available in many forms ranging from simple do-it-yourself options at home to medications either prescribed from a doctor or available over-the-counter.

The more natural cures for heartburn include many options such as drinking apple cider vinegar or eating lemon rinds before eating something that would cause heartburn. Eating almonds or lying on your side are also ways to relieve the pain. Chewing ginger or drinking ginger tea can also help neutralize stomach acid.? Even drinking a glass of water can help flush out harmful stomach acids.? Papayas have also been found to contain a digestive enzyme that can be helpful for preventing and alleviating heart burn.? It helps to break down food faster, preventing pressure from building in the stomach.

One of the most important factors in curing heartburn is to monitor the condition carefully because it affects everyone’s body differently and cures for heartburn vary from case to case. Because different foods trigger heartburn attacks in different people, it is important to keep track of what causes it and the frequency of the occurrences.? Though foods effect everyone different, some common food triggers include caffeine, onions, garlic and citrus.? If there is a pattern showing a certain type of food causes heartburn, you may want to avoid those items completely. If you enjoy the foods that cause heartburn for you, it is easy to be prepared with any of the effective cures for heartburn available when you eat them.

Even a change in the amount you eat and how often you eat it can help.? Eating large meals just a few times a day can cause pressure to build as your stomach tries to digest huge amounts of food.? Smaller, more frequent meals prevent this pressure from building and helps keep heart burn at bay.? Another dietary change that can help is not eating right before bed, and putting a pillow under your head when sleeping.? Both these remedies deal with allowing gravity to keep food and acid in the stomach where it belongs.

Medications and over-the-counter cures for heartburn are easy to obtain as they are sold at any local grocery store or pharmacy.? The problem with over the counter medications is they aren’t meant to be taken in the long term.? They are by no means a permanent solution for heart burn, and only provide a band aid for a problem that may require a tourniquet.? Prescription medications can be very helpful, as they are made to target the specific cause of heartburn by neutralizing acid or stopping its production all together.? However, they are very costly and may even involve taking a pill every day for the rest of the patient’s life.

Finding the best cures for heartburn may be a challenge at first, but once you find the most effective form for you, treatment becomes very simple and easy to handle. For more information on heartburn relief, visit www.refluxremedy.com and view The Reflux Remedy Report.
