Firstly stop taking soda or any aerated beverage.
Food and beverages like chocolates, fatty food, coffee, alcohol and peppermint should be avoided in order to reduce the weakening of the lower oesophageal sphincter. Several food items irritate the damaged oesophageal lining and should also be avoided. They include citrus fruits, tomato and pepper.
Smoking cigarettes results in weakening of the lower oesophageal sphincter and should be stopped to reduce GERD.
-Take about 30 grams of fibre daily in your diet.Eat one cup of fresh fruits(except banana) and half bowl of green salad daily;this will meet your extra total fibre requirement.Avoid cirus fruits as they can increase symptoms.
- Avoiding alcohol.
-Exercise daily for 20 minutes at least.
-Avoid oily and spicy food.
-Drink COLD milk.
