Acid Reflux and Heartburn By Rosemary Bell There are plenty of products on store shelves for the relief of heartburn and acid reflux but if you are not careful and overuse one product you will end up needing another to relieve new symptoms. Anyone who has experienced acid reflux knows that sour acid taste you get in your mouth and throat. There are things you can do to limit the occurrence of acid reflux in the first place instead of buying medications to relieve the symptoms. Here are some easy to follow tips to avoid getting acid reflux and heartburn: * eat less food that is acidic (citrus fruit and tomato products) * eat less food that is spicy or high in fat * wait 30 minutes after eating before drinking fluids (this includes water) * do not lie down right after eating, and if you do, keep your head propped up * limit use of alcohol * limit use of caffeine products (colas, coffee, tea, chocolate) Beware medications for the relief of gas, overuse these and you will end up with heartburn. If the symptoms persist, you should really visit your doctor.
