Recipes for Acid Reflux Problems

When suffering from acid reflux, you might begin to perceive each meal as a battle, with food as your worst enemy. You dread the call to dinner, knowing that each morsel you devour will be haunting you later that evening. It doesn't have to be this way. If you learn to follow the right diet, you can free yourself from your war with food. These recipes can get you on the right foot.

Dunk four slices of sourdough bread in the mixture, and cook both sides on a gridle or in a frying pan over medium heat. Serve with maple syrup.
