Notes

I recently discovered Purple Carrot, a vegan meal preparation company that delivers meals to your door. I get 3 dinners that feed my wife and I...thats 6 dinners for the $70 per package plan. I cannot tell you how much I absolutely love this company and the food they deliver. I admit that I do miss beef and chicken sometimes, but I can easily add those to these meals or even take a break from Vegan eating for an evening. I suffer greatly from Acid Reflux. I have learned thru the years what foods will cause this burning... the usual offenders are bread, cakes, red wine sometimes and dark chocolate. The breads or the wheat products are the absolute worst. BUT... since I have switched to eating mostly Vegan or more of a plant based diet, my Acid reflux has all but disappeared. If this sounds interesting to you, or if you just want to try more of a plant based diet, then I Strongly recommend Purple Carrot. The food tastes great and it will help you with any Heartburn and Acid reflux issues you may be suffering thru. Here is a link that you can research the company further --> Purple Carrot Plant Based Meals.
BTW -  I am NOT being paid to promote this company... I just love them and want them to succeed. 🙂   Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 onions
  • 2 red radishes
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lime
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 3 tbsp tomato powder
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 8 oz of jackfruit
  • 6 white corn tortillas

Instructions

  • 1 - Peel the garlic. Peel and slice thinly the onions. Thinly slice the radishes. Halve the avocado, get rid of the pit, slice the flesh into thin slices. Cut the lime into halves and juice one half. Cut the other half into wedges. Squeeze 1 tsp lime juice over the sliced avocado and throw a dash of salt on.
  • 2 - Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat with a tbsp of olive oil. Add the garlic, 1 tsp of salt and just ¼ cup of sliced onions. Cook, occasionally stirring until you see brown in places…usually 3-4 minutes. Add the cumin, tomato powder and as much of the chipotle pepper that you can stand, ¾ cup of water and whisk it all very well. Add this to the saucepan and cook, stirring often until the Salsa Roja has thickened a little…usually 5-7 minutes.
  • 3 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the remaining sliced onions and add a dash of salt. Cook these, stirring often until you see brown in certain places…usually 5-8 minutes. Then add ½ cup of water, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the caramelized onions are lightly browned…another 3-4 minutes.
  • *** Hint: Don’t clean the skillet just yet, as we’ll be using it again.
  • 4 - Add the Salsa Roja and the rest of the lime juice to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add salt as you see necessary.
  • ***Hint: The Salsa Roja can be left unblended if you prefer a chunkier salsa.
  • 5 - Drain the jackfruit, pat dry and tear into pieces. Add the shredded jackfruit into the skillet with the onions and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook and toss this medley often. Do this until the jackfruit is crispy in places, usually 4-5 minutes. Add ½ cup of the Salsa Roja and cook until reduced…1-2 minutes. Transfer the crispy jackfruit and caramelized onions to a plate.
  • 6 - Rinse and dry the skillet and return to medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add 3 tortillas to the skillet in a single layer. Spoon in some jackfruit and caramelized onion on one side of each tortilla and then fold the tortilla in half. Cook until crispy, usually about 1 minute on each side. Divide the tacos between plates and top them with the Salsa Roja, sliced avocado and sliced radishes. Serve with the lime wedges.
  • Bon appetit!!

The constant backwash of the stomach acid content irritates the lining of the esophagus. This leaves the sufferer with a burning sensation in the chest or throat areas. We will highlight some of the most common acid reflux drugs being used to relieve these irritating symptoms.

There are simple changes that a patient can make to his or her diet in order to minimize the irritation caused by acid reflux. It basically comes down to how frequently the person has the symptoms and how the symptoms would affect their day to day lives.

Eliminating fatty and acidic food from their diet, avoiding caffeine, quitting smoking and losing excess weight are some of the most important lifestyle changes that a person can make to control their condition. These lifestyle changes can help people who are suffering with minor symptoms of GERD.

But what if you have more severe GERD systems that affect your day to day life? If you have symptoms more than three times a week, it is considered a sign of severe GERD. This is when you need to consult your physician as soon as possible. Your physician will prescribe medications to get some relief.

There are over the counter antacids such as Maalox, Tums, Mylanta and Rolaids that are helpful in neutralizing the stomach acid and providing fast acting relief. Some antacids come in liquid form to coat the lining of the esophagus and prevent it from coming into contact with stomach acid.

Antacids are good for immediate relief, but their effectiveness is short-lived. Patients should not over use antacids since it can cause diarrhea, constipation and imbalance of electrolytes in some rare cases.

Oral suspension medicines are the other common drug class recommended for heartburn. Pepto Bismol and Carafate are some of the common oral suspension medicines for heartburn. These medicines help coat the esophagus lining preventing it from coming into regular contact with stomach acid. This will help reduce the symptom of heartburn and irritation.

Anti-gas, anti-flatulence medications are recommended for patients who experience gas and bloating as a result of acid reflux. Gas-X, Beano and Phazyme are over the counter medications that are effective in this regard. These medications can help relieve gas, bloating and pressure in the digestive track.

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are another common drug class used to treat acid reflux. Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid are some of the common PPIs on the market. These drugs would block excess acid production in the stomach and aid in healing the esophagus. These are prescribed for patients suffering with severe GERD symptoms.

Acid reflux is a condition that affects millions of Americans on a daily basis. There are so many effective over the counter medications for the condition. We have highlighted some of the most important acid reflux drugs to relieve the symptoms quickly and effectively.

You can seek out medical treatment when your symptoms become too much for you to handle. Talk to a doctor to get a prescription or to discuss over-the-counter options can alleviate the worst symptoms.

This is usually the first step as your doctor can check to see what is going on within the body and also allows him or her to take note of any other possible issues. This when any possibilities of cancer, permanent damage, and various other concerns can be addressed.

The next option is a change to your diet. This usually involves moving away from heavy spices, greasy foods, and many of the readily available processed foods. This can mean going on a very bland diet for a time and then slowly reintroducing food to see what foods you can eat. While this can be quite restricting, it is often one of the most effective ways to treat stubborn issues.

Beds and pillows made to help reduce the symptoms as you sleep can help tremendously. By getting more sleep and lessening symptoms, these methods help sufferers live a more comfortable life. However, once one of these methods has become habit, taking it away may cause the problems to come back much worse.

Changes to exercise can also help people gain some control. Losing weight and staying in shape can prevent fat from pushing against the stomach area causing discomfort. This can also help with the digestion of food and quality of sleep. All of these factors can lessen the symptoms.

Drinking more water and avoiding other types of drinks such as coffee or drinks loaded with caffeine is quite effective. This may be difficult for some people because cutting down on caffeine can be difficult. There are other types of juices that can also irritate and cause heartburn. Experiment with cutting out other drinks to see if this eases your symptoms. If you like drinking sugary drinks such as soda, you will see a reduction in weight and this is a wonderful side effect that will help reduce symptoms.

Many people have found success in activities such as yoga, meditation, and other relaxation techniques. Stress can cause the stomach to produce more acid and even cause ulcers. Removing this stress or learning to control it can mean less symptoms and prevent your condition from worsening.

There are changes that can be made in almost every areas of life to help with severe heartburn symptoms and associated conditions. Working through this list and talking with a doctor may increase both the quality of your life and the possibility of not needing a major medical intervention.

Acid Reflux Pillow Can Ease Symptoms at Night

By Mikael G.J.

For many people who suffer from frequent heartburn, life is more than a little complicated. Even with the most strict diets available heartburn can strike seemingly out of nowhere. This can make sleeping, spending time with friends and even, most everyday tasks seem almost impossible. Having to plan your life around the possible lack of sleep can be a torturous feeling.

acid reflux pillows

Many people have turned to a combination of methods to make their lives a little more bearable. Sadly, one of the most helpful is rarely mentioned. On the market today are many different products to help with sleep when acid reflux is rearing its ugly head. The most understated of these products is the acid reflux pillow.

These pillows come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and textures to ensure that each user is happy with their choice. They help to alleviate some of the symptoms by tilting the body a small bit away from positions that may lead to excess production of acid. This can enable a person to get a good nights sleep when they have previously been unable to achieve this feat.

Because of the variety, these cushions can be a little hit or miss. Fortunately, there is a large online following more than willing to make suggestions to those new to the product. These are people who have found what works best for them and are willing to pass on that information to others so that they can experience relief as well. This kind of hands on information is usually rare to come by, but is very appreciated when given.

Many who have used these cushions cannot believe the difference that they have found. Usually shaped like a wedge, it is hard to believe that a piece of foam or batting can make all of the difference when it comes to true comfort. This can be especially frustrating when one has been battling against major acid issues for several years without finding and real source of relief.

On the bright side, many people find the simplicity refreshing. It is rather hard to misuse a pillow, so there is a very small learning curve. They can be put away when not in use but don’t have to be assembled, fiddled with, or changed. When symptoms flare they can be grabbed and used to quickly relive the issue before it gets much harder.

While it may seem hard to adjust to a new set of cushions in a bedroom, it usually takes a little less than a week. When given the option of comfort, the body will usually take it and run with it rather than struggle with confusion or crankiness. For many, this means sleepless nights quickly come to an end and busy days are a little less worrisome.

With such a great track record, it is amazing that acid reflux pillows are not more popular. Simple solutions that work are hard to come by, and those who have found relief within these simple creations are not going to give them up anytime soon.
