Relief Strategies
Dietary Changes
Identify Triggers: Keep a food diary to track what you eat and when symptoms occur. This can help you identify and eliminate foods that trigger heartburn or bloating.
Eat Smaller Meals: Consuming smaller, more frequent meals can help reduce pressure on the stomach and lower the risk of reflux and bloating.
Avoid Trigger Foods: Limit or avoid spicy foods, high-fat meals, caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated beverages.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can aid digestion and help prevent bloating.
Lifestyle Changes
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Losing weight can reduce pressure on the abdomen and lower the likelihood of heartburn.
Elevate Your Head While Sleeping: Raising the head of your bed can help prevent acid reflux during the night.
Avoid Lying Down After Eating: Wait at least two to three hours after eating before lying down to allow your food to digest properly.
Practice Mindful Eating: Take your time to chew food thoroughly and avoid distractions while eating to minimize the risk of swallowing air.
