What Is Acid Reflux?
10. Is There a Cure for Acid Reflux?
Depending on the cause of acid reflux disease, it’s possible to reverse this medical condition with the right medication and lifestyle changes. Losing weight if you are overweight or obese, changing your diet to eliminate acid-triggering foods and beverages, and quitting smoking if you are a smoker are all ways to potentially reverse your reflux. Trying different medications you find a regimen that works well can reduce your symptoms but will not cure the underlying cause. In cases of hiatal hernia or other anatomical issues, surgery may be the only way to cure acid reflux.
If you are experiencing heartburn combined with a sour taste in your mouth you may be suffering from acid reflux. Causing pain and discomfort for millions of Americans annually, acid reflux can affect your quality of life if it becomes chronic and severe. It’s important to speak with your doctor if you are having frequent symptoms so you can start a treatment plan for relief.
