Acid Reflux

Don’t Let Acid Reflux Run Your Life: Seek Treatment In Encino, CA

Many of us have felt it before—a burning sensation in your chest. This feeling causes extreme discomfort that can cut into your daily activities, which prevents you from eating some of your favorite foods. Acid reflux is also commonly referred to as heartburn and can lead to complications.  It is the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, throat or mouth, and is the most noticeable symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). 

While many people simply cope with their symptoms, it is important to visit our office in Encino,CA for proper acid reflux treatment.  With proper treatment, you can find relief from your symptoms so that you can complete your daily tasks without discomfort.

Lets Take a Look at Acid Reflux Treatment 

Whether it is in the middle of the night or middle of the day, burning, stabbing, incessant pain in your chest is not something you want to deal with on a daily basis.  If you are suffering from acid reflux treatment might first require simply lifestyle changes, such as losing excess weight, eating smaller meals, and avoiding foods that seem to trigger heartburn.  You might also try avoiding:

  • Spicy foods
  • Tomatoes and tomato sauce
  • Garlic
  • Citrus fruit and juices
  • Onion
  • Peppermint
  • Chocolate
  • Fried foods
  • Fatty/greasy foods
  • Salt
  • Coffee (decaf, too)
  • Alcohol
  • Soda

However, not everyone experiences acid reflux from the same foods or drinks. If you don’t experience acid reflux from the previous list of foods and drinks, keep a food journal to make note of meals that brought on your symptoms.

Medication is also available  for acid reflux treatment. Our Gastroenterologist can prescribe a medication to help alleviate your symptoms. Through medication, you can experience an ease of symptoms of occasional indigestion.
