GERD and When to See Your Gastroenterologist
More than 20 million people in the United States suffer from gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD). Further, more than 100 million people suffer from occasional symptoms.
Lifestyle modifications, as well as regular visits with your gastroenterologist , can greatly help improve GI symptoms. Below are a few tips!
- Avoid high fat foods such as whole milk, fried foods, sausage, bologna, and bacon
- Limit caffeinated beverages such as coffee, soda, and regular teas.
- Avoid laying down 3 hours after meals
- Eat in a calm and relaxed environment, sit while you eat
- Eat several small meals throughout the day – avoiding last meals will help with digestion
- Exercise at least three times a week
Talk to your healthcare provider about any concerns you have. It’s important that you seek advice about your digestive issues from a qualified health care professional.
