10 Foods to Avoid with Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux Food To Avoid #7: Soda
A refreshing soda on a hot day can be hard to beat. They also go great with meals and snacks, while the wide range available also means that there is likely to be something for everybody. Carbonated drinks contain a lot of gas, though, and this can be a problem for sufferers of acid reflux.
As the gases are released from soda, so they put pressure on your lower esophageal sphincter. This can force it to open and this can result in acid reflux. Remember also that sodas tend to have very high sugar content and should be consumed in moderation for other health reasons.
