So you are out with friends and you've forgotten your antacids. Of course gastric reflux always comes along for a free meal. Could be an uncomfortable evening. Should you pick something good from the menu and tough it out? Or play it safe?

Gastric reflux is a condition that affects millions of people. And each year some of them make the decision to opt out of this acid reflux cycle. I hope you are one of them. Most people probably don't think of it as a physiological cycle. But cycling is what happens when you eat an acidic meal or a meal that generates a lot of acid and then chase it with a good dose of antacids.

The alternative to this merry-go-round is to take charge, which is a little harder that it sounds, simply because change is always hard. This help explain why antacids are so popular, but let me show you another way to deal with gastric reflux.

I can't guarantee it will work, but many people have had success with this simple approach. The advantage over gastric reflux is that it works without medications, which is always the preferred way to go, if possible. Call it organic or natural or whatever you like but food that is healthy is the heartburn solution simply because food is usually the cause.

To think health, think of a bowl of assorted fruit. Think of each piece as a cure for what ails you. A banana, an apple or a papaya are all fresh picked acid reflux remedies, loaded with vitamins, enzymes and minerals that your body needs. If you have an acid problem more than once a week your body is in need of a regular dose of banana to replace all that potassium it's been losing.

If you have inflammation or trouble digesting meat you can reach for a papaya, which contain papain, an active ingredient that works for both these problems. And the list goes on. The more you reach for the fruit bowl the more your body will thank you for choosing the right medicine. And this is more than a gastric reflux thing, it's a whole body issue. For a powerful remedy, fruit and fruit juice can provide, naturally, what the body needs to compensate for what is typically an overly acidic diet.

Vegetables are important too. They also provide a lot of acid neutralizing alkaloids that your body needs to compensate for high acid levels. To get the most out of your veggies eat them raw or lightly cooked. Keep string beans, carrots and soy beans handy. As a snack, with dipping sauce, they can be tasty between meal eats that no one would suspect are helping the body's immune system. And warding off gastric reflux by boosting alkaline levels.

This may be all you need to take back you health. Of course there are other things that could also help, like taking a daily walk and cutting back on the calories, but putting it all together in a action plan can be your ticket to success.
