Burning pain at the top of your stomach is the classic complaint of those with acid reflux, but some people suffer from nausea as well. What are the natural ways to handle the nausea associated with acid reflux symptoms?
Nausea is a difficult symptom to handle, and may not be addressed by taking antacids. Often, nausea accompanies the kind of acid reflux symptoms associated with acid indigestion. Acid indigestion can be triggered by eating too much food at once, or by eating foods that you are intolerant of.
Dr. Marina Rose, DC has helped people with acid reflux and other challenging, chronic health conditions in and around the city of Palo Alto, CA.
If nausea is included in your acid reflux symptoms, you can try:
- Avoiding foods that you know trigger acid reflux
- Eat smaller meals at the right times
- Try taking digestive enzymes
- Drinking ginger tea for calming nausea
- Wearing anti-nausea wrist bands that stimulate a pressure point that reduces nausea
Nausea may be a signal of a deeper indigestion issue caused by food intolerance or lack of enzymes in the diet. Jonathan E. Aviv who writes on the Dr. Oz blog, agrees that cutting down on processed food can help with acid reflux symptoms.
