Magnesium is not a vitamin, but it is essential for reflux. It helps relax the digestive muscles, reduces acid production, and improves digestion. Many people with heartburn are also low in magnesium.
How to get it: Almonds, dark chocolate, avocado, leafy greens, and bananas.
Foods To Avoid If You Have Reflux
Even with these vitamins, you should avoid foods that trigger reflux:
* Spicy food
* Fried and fatty food
* Tomato sauce
* Coffee and alcohol
* Carbonated drinks
* Chocolate and mint
Important Warning
These vitamins can help prevent reflux, but they are not a replacement for medical treatment. If you have severe heartburn more than 2 times a week, difficulty swallowing, weight loss, or chest pain, see a doctor immediately.
Do not start high-dose supplements without talking to your doctor, especially if you are taking medication for reflux.
Final Thoughts
Acid reflux is often a sign that your body is missing something. Instead of just masking the symptoms with antacids, try to fix the root cause.
Eat a balanced diet rich in these 5 vitamins, get enough sunlight, and your digestion will thank you.
