Acid Reflux Eliminated By Cutting Out One Food Item

If you have been suffering from acid reflux for some time, it’s likely you’ve developed a sense of some foods that worsen your pain.

A new study published in the Journal of the Formosan Medical Association pinpoints how cutting out just one food item can drastically reduce, even eliminate heartburn.

And you probably didn’t expect this item.

12 people with gastroesophageal reflux disease, an average age of 52 years, and a healthy body weight were given two liquid meals, one for lunch and one for dinner.

Meal A consisted of 500 milliliters of liquid containing 474.4 calories with 10.4 grams protein, 10.4 grams fat, and 84.8 grams carbohydrate.

Meal B also consisted of 500 milliliters of liquid but containing 850.4 calories with 10.4 grams protein, 10.4 grams fat, and 178.8 grams carbohydrate.

Three days before the study, they were given an endoscopy to examine their esophaguses and their esophageal sphincters (the valve that is meant to prevent reflux of stomach acid into your esophagus).

Throughout the study, they wore a pH probe with pH sensors connected to a digital recorder to test the level of acid in their esophaguses.

With all this information available, they could see that, compared with the lower-carbohydrate meal, the higher carbohydrate meal caused:

1. A longer total reflux time
2. More periods of constant reflux
3. More reflux periods longer than five minutes, and
4. More heartburn sensation and acid regurgitation.

Therefore, to relieve your symptoms, eat lower quantities of carbohydrates.

But there is a simpler way to eliminate acid reflux. And using this method, you can eat almost anything without experiencing pain. I’ll explain this simple method in detail here…
