There are a number of things one can do when one feels an acid reflux symptom. Perhaps one of the most popular responses in this situation is to take some anti-heartburn medication, usually containing calcium carbonate.
Acid Reflux is referred to as GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) but it is most commonly known as heartburn (symptom of reflux).
Heartburn is the symptom of acid reflux and GERD; however, not everyone with acid reflux has heartburn and not everyone with heartburn has acid reflux. The symptom of heartburn can also be caused by other unusual things such as intestinal motility problems. Cardiac problems can also mimic heartburn and you should not confuse the two. Unexplained chest pain should be evaluated by an exercise stress test or EKG prior to an evaluation for gastrointestinal problems.
Pineapple is not the best thing to eat if you have acid reflux because most all fruits have citric acid which can effect your acid reflux. :)
Foods high in acid, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, and spicy foods, should be avoided by individuals with acid reflux as they can worsen symptoms.
The acid reflux disease symptom has to do with the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) which is basically a ring of muscle at the entrance to your stomach. If the LES doesn't close all the way or opens too often, acid from the stomach can move upwards and cause problems such as burning chest pain. This is the acid reflux disease.
