\"\"<\/a>A Food Blogger who suffers from occasional heartburn is not a good thing.\u00a0 Well, it happens and over the past (10) years or so I’ve tried many over the counter medicines to help remedy the situation.\u00a0 It’s\u00a0why I agreed to try Zegerid OTC, one of the newer related medications\u00a0to the market.\u00a0 I also found their\u00a0offered tips (below) to be helpful and\u00a0thus wanted to share them with you here.\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Michael Rahmin<\/a>, a Gastroenterologist at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey\u00a0recommends the following TIPS for a healthier, happier BBQ season<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Don\u2019t Overdo It.<\/strong>\u00a0 Smaller, more frequent meals help optimize the digestive process.\u00a0 Eating big portions can put more pressure on your stomach and lead to heartburn.\u00a0 Remember that the next BBQ is probably around the corner so be reasonable about portion sizes.<\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/strong> Watch Out for Triggers.\u00a0 <\/strong>If you are prone to heartburn, be cautious when considering certain foods that are known to cause problems, including caffeinated drinks, alcohol, chocolate and spicy, fatty foods. \u00a0Barbecue alternatives to consider include lower-fat dogs instead of traditional beef hot dogs, or make your burgers withlean ground turkey.\u00a0 With the right condiments it\u2019s hard to tell the difference.\u00a0 Since all stomachs are not created equal, also be aware of your own personal triggers and try to cut back or at least avoid them late in the evening.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Let Gravity Help. <\/strong>\u00a0Although that hammock may be calling your name, keep away after a big meal.\u00a0 To help your food digest properly, stay in an upright position rather than lying down after you eat.\u00a0 The natural force of gravity helps with the digestive process.<\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/strong> Keep your Medicine Cabinet Stocked.\u00a0 <\/strong>If you are a frequent heartburn sufferer, try an over-the-counter (OTC) medication like Zegerid OTCTM, an OTC proton pump inhibitor (PPI).\u00a0 PPIs work by deactivating acid-producing pumps in the stomach, offering 24-hour relief of frequent heartburn with one dose per day.\u00a0 For more information and tips to avoid heartburn, visit http:\/\/www.zegeridotc.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Review NOTE<\/span>:\u00a0 I tried this product for\u00a0a month.\u00a0 It appears to work well, but I’m unable to say if it’s better than all the other OTC heartburn medications out there.\u00a0 We certainly appreciate the opportunity to try it and will be adding it to our repertoire of digestive remedies.\u00a0 Although I only suffer from occasional heartburn, Zegerid OTC is indicated for frequent heartburn sufferers with issues 2 or more times a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
