Dear Smitha, Thank you for the question
Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic symptom of mucosal damage. It is caused due to the entry of stomach acid into the esophagus. The most-common symptoms of GERD include Heartburn, Difficulty in swallowing and a sour taste in the mouth or back of the throat due to fluids and undigested foods rising back in to the mouth.
For further diagnosis and assistance kindly contact your specialized health care professional.
It is important to modify your dietary patterns to manage the symptoms of GERD. Weight management is necessary in people for whom the underlying cause of GERD may have been obesity.
Here are a few guidelines to be considered
- Do not skip your meals. Eat small frequent meals
- Avoid eating meals within 2-3 hours of bedtime.
- Prevent laying down immediately after eating
- Avoid drinking fluids in between the meals.
- Some of the foods should be restricted or avoided, these include caffeine, raw onion, citric juices and spicy foods etc.
- Consume low fat dairy in substitute of full fat options to prevent or manage GERD symptoms.
- Food should be eaten slowly and chewed well as fast eating provokes gastric feeding reflex.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day
- Have a gap of minimum 2-3 hours between bedtime and your last meal
For a customized and personalized meal plan for specific conditions, please contact your Health care professional.
Hope we have answered your query.
Wishing you a great day ahead
