Diet for Acid Reflux Disease

Finding and following the proper diet for acid reflux disease can be difficult.  There is a particular set of foods and substances that can aggravate your symptoms of heartburn.  Of course, the first step towards relief is to cut out completely or, at least, limit the ones that are causing you acid reflux.  The second step is to eat foods that are unlikely to cause the condition.

The following video is a good introduction and provides some general diet guidelines.  Below the video we’ve provided a handy list of some foods that are safe (IE, that have little potential in causing you heartburn).
