GERD occurs when the acid<br \/>\nin the stomach flows back into the esophagus and mouth. Normally a<br \/>\nvalve, called the lower esophageal sphincter, permits food to be<br \/>\ningested and stops it from refluxing back into the esophagus. When<br \/>\nthis the muscles of the valve are weak and cannot contract properly<br \/>\nthe acid reflux appears.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Strong acid juice is normally<br \/>\nproduced by our bodies to help disintegrate foods in the process of<br \/>\ndigestion. This stomach juice contains hydrochloric acid which the<br \/>\nesophagus can&#8217;t handle, leaving you with the feeling of burn and<br \/>\ndiscomfort.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nGERD symptoms<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nGERD symptoms vary<br \/>\nfrom one person to another. Depending on the severity of the<br \/>\ncondition if you have the symptoms bellow we advise you to consult<br \/>\nyour doctor and change your eating habits.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left\">\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><b>Heartburn<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><b>Difficulty to swallow<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><b>Dry cough<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><b>Acid reflux<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><b>Bleeding<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"><b>Difficulty breathing<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Lump in the throat<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><b>DIY GERD diet plan<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">There is no specific diet to<br \/>\ndiminish the effects of GERD.

You can<br \/>\nstart by learning about the foods that are beneficial and those<br \/>\nprohibited so you can combine the proper ingredients into a delicious<br \/>\nmeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">When starting medication doctors recommend that you<br \/>\nfollow a special eating routine and to introduce small amounts of<br \/>\nfood step by step.
