Reflux-free recommendations
As soon as you get up in the morning, you can eat a handful of chickpeas, a slice of bread or two pieces of grissini and prevent the arrival of bitter water.
Because reflux disease persists for a long time, there are some rules that people with this problem have to follow just like diabetic patients. Otherwise, the quality of daily life deteriorates. Nutrition and Diet Expert Hande Seven, who advised people to wake up with bitter water in the morning to get rid of this bitter water, says that as soon as they get up, a handful of chickpeas, a slice of bread or two grissini can be avoided by consuming bitter water. Hande Seven gives information about the importance of taking care in the nutrition of reflux patients and answers the frequently asked questions in this regard:
KNOWLEDGE PRINCIPLES OF NUTRITION
- Less and frequent eating is very important in the principles of nutrition. Do not consume portions more than necessary, chewing the food thoroughly to facilitate the digestive function of the stomach by mechanical shredding in the mouth.
- Keep the meals between 3 hours on average (if it is eaten too often, it will cause indigestion in the stomach, if the food is not consumed for a long time, the acidity of the stomach increases and therefore the intensity of reflux increases).
- Do not eat, do not lie on your back and head and the esophagus to rest a little upright.
- Avoid wearing tight clothing around the waist and avoid using belts.
- Avoiding obesity, maintaining an ideal body weight and being careful not to eat certain foods, avoiding smoking reduces the severity of the disease.
- In general, each individual should be adequately fed in accordance with his / her own body needs and balanced meals should be consumed in terms of quantity and variety including all food groups.
Are there food that is uncomfortable?
Reflux symptoms are more common in people who are under psychological stress, and when nutritional errors are added, the severity of the disease increases. It is very important in reducing stressful living conditions. However, especially acidic foods such as orange, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, tomato, pickled and pickled foods such as pickled and salty, carbonated beverages, caffeinated beverages such as chocolate, tea, coffee and green tea increase the severity of the disease.
IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AGAINST TREATMENT!
We especially recommend weight control and regular exercise. We frequently see malnutrition in people suffering from reflux. Not eating is never the solution, not eating too much and consuming balanced nutrients. Instead of citrus fruits that are useful but not recommended in reflux patients, we can recommend non-vitamin C-rich fruit (such as quince, pear, apple, dried fruits, etc.), well-cooked vegetable dishes - when you cook vegetables, acidity is reduced and every patient can consume very easily. However, methods of cooking food are also important for reflux. No frying or roasting should be used, but boiled, grilled, baked or steamed.
Is there no solution?
When hungry, stomach acid secretion continues. For this, it is useful to reduce portions. People's response to nutrients may vary according to the severity of reflux. Therefore, if there are different nutrients that we do not recommend but disturb the person, they should be removed from the nutrition program. There is a different alternative in nature that can meet the nutritional content of each food. It may also be necessary to change these nutrients.
Tea and special mixtures
Linden, chamomile and fennel teas, which do not contain caffeine, facilitate digestion. Stomach protection is important as mentioned above. In fact, food that we do not recommend to patients with reflux is excluded from the rules of healthy eating, except that acidic fruits are not consumed.
WEIGHT CONTROL IMPORTANT
Every individual should change their diet and lifestyle habits such as weight control, regular activity, non-consumption of carbonated drinks, pickle-brine, non-smoking, alcohol consumption, low and frequent nutrition, in order to maintain their health and improve their quality of life.
