10 Foods to Avoid with Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux Food To Avoid #10: Alcohol
Whether you are a regular drinker or you just enjoy the occasional tipple, alcohol might trigger acid reflux. This is in part because alcohol relaxes the muscles, including the lower esophageal sphincter that helps to keep your stomach gases in the stomach. With this muscle relaxed, the gases are able to escape and rise up through the esophagus.
Alcoholic drinks are also likely to contain other ingredients that will encourage acid reflux. Carbonated beers, in particular, can be a problem. Regardless of whether or not you do suffer from acid reflux, remember that alcohol should only be consumed in moderation.
