Do you suffer from frequent acid reflux? Then you are reading the right article! Careful food choices can dramatically stop acid reflux & its painful symptoms. You do not know what kinds of foods stop acid reflux? Again, you are reading the right article! I will share some food secrets & delectable recipes with you. I will break it down in seven easy steps for you to follow so you can live acid reflux-free.

First, let’s define acid reflux:
Acid reflux is also called chronic heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disorder or GERD, dyspepsia, & acid indigestion.

Acid reflux flares up when stomach acid touches the lining of the esophagus, causing unpleasant fluid or food to be tasted in the back of the mouth. This causes a burning sensation in the throat or chest also known as heartburn.

Acid reflux may be more common than you think. There are over 60 million Americans who suffer from heartburn each & everyday.

Second, let’s define who is in danger of getting acid reflux:
