Today’s subject is acid reflux, which causes that unpleasant burning sensation as stomach acid travels back up towards the throat. Read on to find out all you need to know about this problem!
To fully understand how to prevent or stop acid reflux, let’s first take a brief look at what causes it. It’s due to a fault in the body’s anti-reflux mechanisms. Normally, these prevent stomach acids from flowing back up the esophagus.
The body’s anti-reflux system can be affected by various factors. Among the main causes of acid reflux are:
Note: acid reflux is often the result of a combination of several causes, hence the importance of addressing each of them.
Though deeply unpleasant, the symptoms of acid reflux can fortunately be alleviated. Home remedies with an alkalising effect are sometimes suggested such as drinking potato juice. An alkalising product has the opposite effect to that of an acidifying one. It helps maintain a better acid-base balance and thus maintain digestive comfort.
Carob is very effective at helping to get rid of acid reflux. It contains a large amount of fibre which once ingested, rapidly eliminates acidity in the stomach and digestive tract. Carob fibre has the added advantage of being a natural appetite-suppressant. It thus helps prevent over-eating which pre-disposes towards acid reflux. Suffice to say that supplementing with carob offers a variety of health benefits!
Acid reflux is by no means a modern problem. Hundreds of years ago, Native Americans were already treating it with red elm. Today this plant is often combined with other natural acid reflux remedies. For example, the product Anti-Acid Reflux Formula combines extracts of red elm, deglycyrrhizinated liquorice root and orange peel. Together, these natural compounds provide effective relief from the discomfort of acid reflux and prevent associated complications!
The above-mentioned natural remedies are just as effective at protecting against acid reflux as they are at treating it. In addition, a number of other preventive measures are often recommended:
In terms of foods to avoid, there are certainly some that can increase stomach acidity while others irritate the stomach wall. To prevent acid reflux, it’s a good idea to cut out the following foods:
Finally, we should mention stress which is an important risk factor for acid reflux. To reduce this risk, you should try to wind down before eating a meal – relaxation exercises can be helpful here. Taking a natural anti-stress supplement may also be of benefit.

This is my go to company for high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Others either don't know or don't care to share the molecular weight of their product. I've been buying from SuperSmart USA for a long time and they offer consistent quality. A good company to work with as long as you can handle slightly longer shipping times.
