Acid reflux and Fear of Eating.
I only had a tiny bit when I awoke this morning and so waited to eat again thinking the food caused the problem. It is now lunch time and I still haven't eaten and the regurgitation is getting worse. So my son told me to look it up on the internet. Turns out I have been doing everything wrong!
Here are the highlights I read on an article on eHow.
Evening Habits
Refrain from eating two to four hours before bed.
Eat a healthful dinner avoiding stomach acid triggers.
Common trigger foods are tomatoes, citrus, caffeine, fried foods and alcohol.
Ah, I had tomatoes for dinner.
Breakfast Habits
Breakfast habits are important to properly prepare your stomach. It's essential not to skip breakfast, because an empty stomach is sensitive when it has no food to properly absorb your stomach acid.
Yup, I've been skipping breakfast a lot. Oops.
Morning Meal
Prepare a breakfast that doesn't contain stomach acid triggers. Avoid citrus juices.
Breads are a great choice because they are filling and absorbent.
Drink plenty between bites to allow your stomach to properly break down the food.
