Stop the Pain and Burning Naturally When you begin to feel that burning sensation in your stomach, chest, or throat, you should act on it immediately.
The reason is because over time, the stomach acid that enters your esophagus because of acid reflux can cause real damage.
You don't want to ignore the symptoms and you really don't want to pop antacids all the time.
Although you can carry Tums with you wherever you go, you should try some natural ways to provide quick relief for your acid reflux.
Here are six natural ways to provide quick relief for your acid reflux.
Because everyone has different trigger foods and drinks, some of these may or may not work for you.
1.
) Drink a cold glass of skim milk.
Some people find that dairy actually makes their heartburn worse, but for most people the calcium in a glass of milk helps to neutralize the stomach acid right away.
2.
) Eat a banana.
A banana is a natural antacid and it does a great job of neutralizing stomach acid in just a few minutes.
It is also packed with vitamins and minerals so it is a much more nutritious alternative to antacids.
Like some, bananas might actually make your heartburn worse.
If that's the case then try a different natural antacid.
3.
) Drink some aloe vera juice.
Although the taste leaves a lot to be desired, aloe vera juice is great for neutralizing stomach acid.
You can take 1/4 of a cup before meals to prevent acid reflux or drink some if you feel heartburn coming on.
4.
) Eat some yogurt.
Eat one or two spoonfuls of yogurt.
Just as with milk, the calcium in yogurt helps to neutralize stomach acid and the cool, creamy texture can soothe your throat and esophagus.
5.
) Eat an apple or drink some apple cider vinegar.
Apples have natural acid neutralizing properties.
6.
) Drink 4 oz of water mixed with 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
This is a well known neutralizing formula and it can be taken before meals to prevent acid reflux symptoms or upon onset of symptoms.
These are all natural ways to quickly relieve your acid reflux.
You can always carry antacids with you, but it wouldn't hurt to try something different for a change.
Keep in mind that eating the wrong type of foods (commonly referred to as trigger foods), eating too much at meals, and lying down after meals are all typical reasons why acid reflux happens in the first place.
If you make some small changes to your diet and lifestyle then there's a good chance your acid reflux symptoms will happen a lot less.
