Another
problem I seem to have with my stomach is heartburn after eating acidic
foods. So, what do I do when I want that
slice of orange or glass of juice? Here
is what I found.
Even
if you have the best intentions, many healthful fruits and vegetables, like
oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and tomatoes, may increase your risk for acid
reflux and GERD due to their acidity.
The best way to prevent this is to remove acidic foods from your diet
but if that just isn’t going to happen and you still want to eat these fruits
and vegetables once and awhile, don’t do it on an empty stomach. Other foods, especially carbs, will absorb
some of the acids and help prevent some of the heartburn. But don’t overeat them no matter what you’ve
already eaten.
I may not give up my favorite foods completely but at least I know I can eat them in moderation and along with something some of my favorite carbs.
