Before You Eat Out

Friday August 15, 2008
You can eat out without fear of heartburn if you know what to ask for and what you should avoid. When you ask how the food is prepared, avoid certain beverages, and watch portion sizes, you can prevent the heartburn.

Dining out at Chinese, Mexican, or Italian restaurants may be more difficult, since food at these restaurants may contain more ingredients that can trigger your heartburn. It is possible to enjoy dining there if you know what to avoid.

You can read more about the suggested do's and don'ts when eating out by reading Before You Eat Out.

Most common mistake was eating just before going to bed. Big no no. It isn’t so much what you eat as much as how much and when. Little bro should eat smaller amounts, he should remain sitting upright for a minimum of thirty minutes after eating anything, and never never eat or drink anything for at least thirty minutes before laying down.
