Foods and Liquids That Help Reflux

Cheese, wine, chocolate, coffee, bacon…this combination of delightful delectables will probably bring a smile to MOST people, but unfortunately it can also bring a lot of discomfort.

Acid reflux is a surprisingly common occurrence, especially with older populations, and the short list of foods I just mentioned are all contributing culprits to this condition.

The problem with acid reflux is much larger than discomfort in your chest or throat - chronic reflux can also lead to more serious diseases like Barrett’s Esophagus, which can lead to cancer.

This doesn’t mean you have to cut out EVERYTHING you love when it comes to food and drinks, but there ARE ways to reduce the occurrence of reflux, and that’s exactly what I want to talk about today.

Watch and Enjoy!
