Foods to Avoid for Acid Reflux- A Natural Cure for GERD Starting with Your Diet - By: Joe Barton

As a natural health expert, I must get 10 e-mails a day asking, "What are foods to avoid for acid reflux?" Though you should avoid a few particular foods, you should also be eating a few particular foods that help with acid reflux, also called heartburn. Let me explain!

One natural cure for GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a simple apple. Please visit our Natural Cure for GERD website and read about how my dad came from the brink of death (caused by acid reflux) to completely cured by a simple apple. Though you might think this cure is ridiculous. It might find you carrying a slice of apple everywhere you go from now on?

Though an apple works for some of my customers, many acid reflux sufferers discover that changing a few dieting habits can often permanently cure their reflux problem.

Curing the Reflux Problem

Most likely, the main problem behind your reflux problem is your damaged esophagus (tube that brings food to stomach) and your sphincter (muscle that keeps stomach acid in your stomach). If you consistently suffer from heartburn, acid reflux, GERD or Hiatus Hernia you need to discover how to heal and prevent further damage to the esophagus and sphincter.

You should also note that antacids are NOT going to cure your reflux problem. If you look on the back on any antacid label you will discover that you should only take them for 4-8 weeks. This is because by taking them any longer than 6 weeks you can actually drastically increase your chances of getting cancer in the pancreas, stomach and esophagus.

Our Natural Cure for GERD begins with your diet and using a holistic (whole body) approach. Here are a few tips we share with our customers.

Cure Acid Reflux Diet

1. Avoid Spicy and Acidic Foods- You should initially avoid spicy and acidic foods that may damaged your esophagus and sphincter.

2. Stop Smoking- The chemicals in cigarettes will cause more irritation and cause reflux problems. It would be recommended that you finally quit smoking. My reflux remedy report will lead you to a natural cure to quit smoking.

3. Limit Coffee and Caffeine- A good tip would be to moderate your consumption of coffee in the morning. The acid from coffee can also cause damage to the esophagus. A good suggestion would be to eat an apple which will also wake you up in the morning.

4. Drink Water after Every Meal- This reflux remedy varies from person to person. But in most cases, water will wash the sphincter clean after each meal and create a tight seal to keep the stomach acid in the stomach.

5. Two Teaspoons of Raw Honey- Take 2 teaspoons of raw honey whenever you feel a reflux flare-up. Honey in liquid form has been known to fight bacteria, block infection, combat inflammation, reduce pain, and improve circulation. It also stimulates the regrowth of tissue.

6. Chew Your Food Longer- By chewing your food longer, you can actually decrease the chance of food scratching and irritating your esophagus and sphincter. Make a habit to chew your foods longer. Take 2 weeks to build this good habit.

7. Softer foods are Better- For the first couple days of treatment you should avoid crunchy foods. Hard, crunchy foods will irritate the esophagus.
