- Food specific attacks.
Is there a specific food that you like, but it doesn't like you? Italian food? Mexican food? With a little planning, you can enjoy these delights without suffering the consequences.
Simply take your medication or other remedy about 30 minutes prior to eating so that the medication can kick in the moment your spicy food begins to be digested.
It's a lot easier to prevent reflux than to treat it after it hits you. - Nighttime attacks.
If you have had this, you know what I'm saying.
You get that painful tight feeling in your chest.
You think, "Am I having a heart attack?" Sometimes you feel like you want to throw up.
If this happens to you, take your medication right before you go to sleep.
Many people think that the remedy they took early in the evening will be effective through the night, but that's usually not the case.
It will lose some of its effectiveness just when you need it the most and then wham! you wake up in pain, and nobody likes that. - Exercise attacks.
Exercise is good! In fact exercise can actually help reduce problems like acid reflux.
But don't rush out there right after eating.
You want to fully digest your food before you take on heightened activity.
Maybe you don't even think about your activity as being the dreaded "exercise" word.
Do you ever get up from a meal and play with your kids or toss a football around? How about dancing after dinner? Or even riding the exercise bike after breakfast? A little experimentation will allow you to gauge what the right timing is for you.
