Acid Reflux & GERD
Reduce heartburn and improve digestion with targeted nutrition changes.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) involves the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort. Nutrition plays a key role in symptom management.
Clinical Focus
1
Symptoms include frequent heartburn, regurgitation, difficulty swallowing, and chest discomfort, especially after meals or when lying down.
2
Trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or acidic items), eating habits, and weight can all contribute to GERD. Poor esophageal motility or hiatal hernia may also be involved.
Key Points
We help identify personal triggers and guide clients through dietary changes, meal timing, and lifestyle modifications that can reduce reflux episodes and support esophageal healing.
