Acid Reflux Disease Diet

IBS Help Please! Very Painful!?
I'm 16. I've been having waves of constant pain and discomfort for the past 3 months, I'm seeing a GI Specialist already and the ER says that they can do nothing besides sedate me if I went there. I've been having horrible gas pains, constipation, and diarrhea. I've also been diagnosed with acid reflux disease and I'm lactose intolerant and I've already cut out of my diet all dairy and nuts.
I've lost 10 lbs from 130 to 120. The anxiety between attacks is disabling and I've lost all faith in life. They have me on Levsin and Protonix twice a day. I really need help. Does anyone know if it will ever end or of a cure or a miracle because I'm seriously in need of one. I can't go on with my life any longer like this.
Also, I've already had an endoscopy, x-ray, and a colonoscopy and they diagnosed me with acid reflux but nothing more.
You can come out of this i am so sorry you are only 16, but it will be one step at a time you need to cut out gluton, lactose intolerance goes hand in hand with it, have they tested you for cealic..if not that should be your next step if the blood comes back as you have not got it, you may just be gluton intolerant, that's what happened to me i am so much better without gluton. I control my reflux in a Natural way as i hate being on medication i use apple cider vinegar and baking soda..go and look at www.earthclinic on the web.
You also need a high intake of probiotics you should start these when you have cut gluton out of your diet for a few weeks you will need a good quality one, as soon as you leave out the thing that is making you have irritable bowel, your symptoms will calm down.
If your parens can afford it you need to see a nutritionist..i dont know where you live if it is the uk you can get this on the NHS.. i suffered for years and only started to get well when i saw one, they look at everything and try to treat the cause not the symptom;
Also the web has a load of info on ibs and food intolerance do your own research i am not cured but if eat lots of natural food veg, protein and lay off gluton and sugar i am fine.
You need to eat food that is very nutrient rich..boring yes, but it does give you your life back, so it is worth it. Again research, research and research. And get your life back.
If you do the above and still have problems look at candida, you can get an questioner on the web. If it is this you need to cut all sugar and junk from your diet. good luck.
its just finding out whats causing it. the web is good for things like this
Acid Reflux Weight Loss - Part 4 Kick Off Your Acid Reflux Disease Diet and Weight Loss Program
If you suffer from acid reflux disease, then getting a diet program started can seem challenging, considering the number of foods that are restricted due to acid reflux symptoms. However, as long as you arm yourself with the right tools and information, your diet should be much more rewarding than you may first expect.
Your first goal should be to discover what foods you can eat. These should be foods that are not only 'waistline friendly', but they should also be foods you can eat without experiencing symptoms of acid reflux disease. Though everybody has their own 'trigger' foods to which their symptoms react, the following foods are generally considered to be suitable on their own or as ingredients in acid reflux disease diet recipes:
- Fresh apples
- Apple juice
- Bananas
- Baked potatoes
- Carrots
- Green beans
- Peas
- Skinless chicken breast
- Extra lean ground beef
- Egg whites
- Egg substitute
- White fish
- Feta or goat cheese
- Fat-free cream cheese
- Fat free sour cream
- Low fat soy cheese
- Multigrain bread
- Bran or oatmeal cereal
- Pretzels
- Corn bread
- Graham crackers
- Brown rice
- Rice cakes
- Jelly beans
- Red licorice
- Baked potato chips
- Water
- Herbal teas (not peppermint)
These are by no means all of the foods that are safe to eat for losing weight and avoiding symptoms of acid reflux disease. However, these are among the more popular and have the added benefit of being easy to find at the local grocery store.
Further to the foods that are considered quite "safe", there are also foods that you may be able to enjoy in moderation without too much of a risk of an acid reflux attack. These include, but aren't limited to:
- Low-acid orange juice
- Apple cider
- Peaches
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Dried cranberries
- Raspberries
- Grapes
- Cooked onions
- Leeks
- Sauerkraut
- Lean ground beef
- Scrambled eggs
- Ham
- Yogurt
- Milk (2 percent or lower in fat)
- Frozen yogurt
- Low-fat cottage cheese
- Mozzarella cheese (made with skim milk)
- Granola cereal
Though these are foods that are permitted in a typical acid reflux disease diet, they should be consumed with discretion. Moderation is very important for these foods. Not only do they have the potential to bring about acid reflux symptoms if consumed too frequently, but some can also be fattening if eaten too often.
As you discuss your diet with your doctor, you will soon discover that there are some foods that you will need to cut out altogether. The foods you'll likely be told to avoid as they may aggravate acid reflux and can put inches on your waistline include the following:
- Orange juice
- Lemon
- Lemonade
- Grapefruit juice
- Cranberry juice
- Tomatoes
- Mashed potatoes
- French fries
- Raw onions
- Ground beef
- Steak
- Chicken nuggets
- Breaded and battered meats
- Buffalo wings or meats with spicy sauces
- Sour cream
- Milk shakes
- Ice cream
- Regular sour cream
- Alcohol
- Pasta with tomato or cheese sauce
- Creamy salad dressings
- Oil and vinegar salad dressings
- Coffee (caffeinated or decaffeinated)
- Tea (caffeinated or decaffeinated)
- Chocolate
- Potato chips
- Donuts
- Brownies
- Baked desserts
Tips for sticking to your acid reflux weight loss program:
1. Ensure you eat breakfast. Research has proven that people who eat breakfast are slimmer than those who skip breakfast. Try a bowel of bran or oatmeal cereal with skimmed milk topped with half a small banana sliced.
2. Eat small, but regular meals throughout the day to keep hunger at bay and so you don't overload your digestive system. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner along with mid morning and mid afternoon snacks. Try having an apple, a rice cake topped with low sugar jam or a handful of pretzels for your snacks.
3. Keep your diet varied so you don't get bored with what you're eating. Ensure your fridge and cupboards contain acid reflux and weight loss friendly options so you have a choice, but aren't tempted to stray back into old habits.
4. If you do slip and have something that's either fattening or brings on your symptoms, don't worry. Just get back to your new lifestyle as quickly as possible.
5. Don't view these changes as a 'diet' - rather think about it as a conscious lifestyle choice. No food items should be 'banned', instead retrain your brain and tell it you're choosing not to eat those items anymore. Diets often fail because we feel deprived; success will come when you've changed your mindset about what you eat.
As you get to know the foods you should and should not eat, you'll be able to build recipes and then menus from all of the foods you'll be including in your acid reflux disease diet. As you build your acid reflux disease diet habits, you'll find that maintaining your weight loss and minimizing your symptoms will come much more naturally to you.
