  Hours of hard work will be put into a plethora of dishes this Thanksgiving, so its important that acid reflux doesnt stop your loved ones from enjoying the food around the dinner table. […] Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly known as acid reflux and occurs when acid from the stomach flows up the food pipe or esophagus, leading to indigestion, or the feeling of pain or discomfort in your abdomen. […] The most common dishes that cause indigestion are those that are spicy, acidic or high in fat. […] If you know you are sensitive to these foods, Valdez says to fill your plate with cuts of lean turkey and ham as well as steamed veggies, salads, dressings and whole grains. […] Thanksgiving can also be a stressful time for many, and people may turn to medications like ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin for pain relief for headaches; however, these can aggravate an already irritated stomach.

[…] Low Dog’s main recommendation with regard to food is to follow a low-glycemic diet. […] It can work magic for those with GERD, […] excessive carbohydrates can increase gas and bloating, which in turn increases abdominal pressure that forces stomach contents back up in the esophagus. […] Chewing gum can quell heartburn, likely because it boosts production of saliva, which neutralizes stomach acid. […] Stress doesn’t cause heartburn, but it increases the sensitivity of the esophagus and the sphincter muscle, so less acid is needed to trigger symptoms.
