IN GENERAL, please avoid any "junk foods" and/or fast foods that are greasy, spicy, and processed.
Reflux precautions:
a complex of measures, which are used both as
a prophylaxis and a therapy of GER.
- Diet (as above).
- Eating smaller portions of food, frequent feeding of infants with smaller portions of breast milk or formula.
- Position in a bed (in a crib, for infants) 30 degree head side up. Holding an infant for (at least) 30 min. upright after a feeding, and avoiding a horizontal position after a meal for 2 hours in older children, and 30 min. in infants.
Surgical therapy: is rarely needed, but in some cases of severe GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), unresponsive to a full range of conservative measures, surgery may be necessary.
