If you're constantly suffering from heartburn after eating, drinking coffee or your favourite wine, then this is a warning sign that you need to find acid reflux remedies.
Acid reflux is a common disorder affecting many people's lives and when the symptoms are continuous and severe, it can greatly reduce people's quality of life. Acid reflux occurs when the acid from stomach flows up into the oesophagus. As the protective lining of the oesophagus is very thin, it can easily be irritated by the corrosive effects of the acid. When this happens people will experience a burning sensation in their chest area and this is commonly known as heartburn.
The traditional acid reflux remedies that you can buy in the drug stores range from antacid tablets, blockers and proton pump inhibitors PPIs. These remedies focus on either reducing or neutralising the acid in your stomach. Antacids are the first remedy you can take. If these prove unsuccessful, then a doctor may put you on a course of PPI's or H2 blockers. These work by inhibiting the production of acid. These OTC or prescribed remedies only provide short term relief and their chemical content can also result in side effects.
