Gastro Reflux can be caused by stress, and or NSAIDs anti inflammatory drugs. Your stomach is producing too much acid, and is damaging your stomach wall. This can result in stomach ulcers, hiatus hernia or acid reflux, or a combination of all three.
You could take milk of magnesia for temporary relief, but for longer term you may need proton pump inhibitors, special pills to stop your stomach producing too much acid. Your doctor will decide what is best for you, but you can greatly reduce the effects of GERD by eating ther right foods, and avoiding the wrong ones. I would also strongly recommend a food tolerancy test, if you already haven’t taken one. Ask at your family doctor’s or health food shop.
Recommended Food:
Goats milk , chees and youghurt, preferably low fat.
melon, banana, pears, apples, berries, peaches
All vegetables

Foods To Avoid:
whole milk and chocolate
All fried foods
Fizzy drinks
