Heartburn & GERD

Heartburn and GERD can really put a damper on one of the great pleasures in life: eating. Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising and keeping your stress in check can all help combat heartburn. Eating small meals throughout the day, and steering clear of high-fat, spicy or acidic foods that bring on trouble are also lifestyle changes to try. However, if you have made lifestyle changes are still having heartburn, talk to your doctor. Chronic or frequent heartburn can lead to more serious issues.
