Heartburn Triggers In addition to taking Zegerid OTC capsules, avoiding heartburn triggers can help you better manage your heartburn symptoms. In terms of your diet, avoid eating large meals and foods such as acidic fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits, tomatoes, etc.), anything fried or oily, onions, peppers, spicy foods, fatty meats, chocolate, alcohol, coffee and mint. Avoid stress, smoking, being overweight or obese, lying down between meals and exercising on a full stomach. Not only will avoiding these triggers help with your heartburn, but some may benefit your overall health as well. What Is Heartburn? You might refer to it as that frustrating pain or discomfort that may occur after you eat, but it's more complex than that. Heartburn occurs when acid from the stomach moves back into the esophagus, thus causing pain and discomfort in your chest, and maybe even a bitter taste in your mouth. The fluids protected by your stomach to help your body digest food contain a powerful acid called hydrochloric acid - something your stomach is naturally protected from, but your esophagus is less so. Therefore if the hydrochloric acid moves back or "refluxes" into your esophagus, the more sensitive lining of the esophagus can become irritated, thus resulting in heartburn pain. Signs of Frequent Heartburn - Feeling a burning sensation in your chest (which can sometimes be accompanied by a bitter taste in your mouth) particularly after eating certain types of food - Experiencing heartburn symptoms two or more days a week If frequent heartburn has affected your lifestyle by causing you to avoid certain foods, to take heartburn medication during the day but also at night so that heartburn won't disrupt your sleep and to avoid lying down after meals, Zegerid OTC may be right for you.
