Effective Strategies to Manage Acid Reflux
If acid reflux disrupts your meals, Dr. Parviz Gholami at Calabasas Advanced Gastroenterology in Calabasas, CA, offers guidance and treatment options to help you control symptoms and enjoy meals again.
Simple Lifestyle Changes for Symptom Relief
Here are some steps you can take daily to reduce acid reflux:
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals
- Elevate your head when resting
- Avoid eating before bedtime
- Wear loose clothing around your waist
- Avoid trigger foods like spicy dishes, caffeine, and alcohol
