Heartburn not cured by avoiding foods

Posted Jul 5th 2006 7:01AM by Nicole WestonFiled under: Health & Medical

For some people, food and heartburn go hand in hand. Unfortunately, doctors have long been recommending that those who suffer with heartburn (also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease) give up many foods, such as fried and spicy foods, alcohol, carbonated beverages, coffee and chocolate,  in an attempt to prevent unpleasant symptoms. New research from Stanford University shows, however, that cutting out favorite foods does not actually stop heartburn for most sufferers. There are two lifestyle changes that showed a clear benefit: losing a few pounds and sleeping with the head elevated, to "reduce stomach acid from entering the esophagus while sleeping." Changing both of these things produced better, more consistent results from patients when compared to those who simply cut back on or cut out various foods.
