Pharmacist's advice on treating gastro-oesophageal reflux disease :
A balanced diet, slow mastication, elimination of hard-to-digest foods and alcoholic beverages can often alleviate symptoms caused by acid reflux or stomach inflammation.
If you are a smoker, continued smoking is a major obstacle to treatment; nicotine increases gastric acidity and reduces the effectiveness of the muscle that closes the junction between the esophagus and the stomach.
