Is salmon ok to eat with acid reflux?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think, maybe yes.

Please, remember salt (NaCl) causes stomach acid (HCi).

Less Chloride (Cl) reduces the problem,

which is actually the Sodium (Na) loss

in the enlargened kidney pours

(burst larger from high blood pressure).

The larger pours loose small ions like Na, Mg, (Ca)

but hold back larger ions like Chloride

into the blood again.

But Astaxanthin found in shrimp, lobster & Salmon

help rebuild the kidneys pours

(to become smaller,

& able to retain (=keep) more Na,

which will neutralize

the acid in the blood,

before it gets to the stomach).

Strangely canned Salmon also can have the advantage of more Calcium

if you eat the cooked bones, also.

The fat from the skin is also helpful for calcium regulation.

Salmon is probably also a good tip against Oesteoporosis

(=weak bones, from lack of calcium).

There are different qualities of Salmon, e.g. natural, well fed, correctly handled & prepared.

You can take medicine that neutralizes your stomach acid. Omeprazole, Tums, Rolaids. Those are just a few medicines you can take to help with acid reflux. Also it can help to prevent it if you stay away from acidic food.

Answer2: Stop taking otc remedies and get some apple cider vinegar, it works wonders. Stop eating heavy dinners, especially red meat and starches and do not eat after 7pm per my gastro doctor. My doc also said take a probiotic EVERY day. Watch how much better you will feel if you do this.

Does ascorbic acid causes acid reflux?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO! surprisingly enough it's actually citrus foods such as sodas, juices, and sour candies or drinks. if your kids are having unidentifiable pain such as nausea or severe abdominal pain but no vomiting or severe headaches this is probably the cause. Acid reflux can be treated by Prilosec but you should probably go to a doctor just to be sure it's nothing too serious

Ascorbic acid is just Vitamin C and people with acid reflux still need Vitamin C just like everyone else.

Can drinking cold water reduce acid reflux?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No it doesn't. Acid reflux occurs due to the failure of physiological valve that is present at the junction of oesophagus and stomach. Cold water has nothing to do with it. Intake of large amount of cold water (after the reflux has already happened) may soothe the nerve ending of lower oesophagus, thus reducing (not relieving) the burning sensation, but it cannot stop acid reflux to occur.

Does eating graham crackers help prevent acid reflux?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I could not find any literature out there supporting Graham Cracker therapy for acid reflux prevention. Although I enjoy Graham Crackers, I have to answer No! Unless Graham Crackers increase lower esophageal sphincter tone or increase gastric/gut motility, I can see no reason as to why it would prevent reflux. However, if it helps your reflux symptoms, maybe you can submit yourself as a case-study.
