Best Apps for Treating Someone with Acid Reflux
Acid reflux is a pain - literally. But you can use apps to learn what triggers your acid reflux. Read on to find out more.
If you have acid reflux, you’re not alone. Acid reflux happens in a lot of people, and one of the most common groups of people who have it is pregnant women. Many times, acid reflux in pregnancy is one of the first symptoms that a woman notices before she knows she’s pregnant. If you know that you’re pregnant, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor or stick with home remedies for acidity and gas problems so you don’t have to worry about hurting the baby. But make sure they’re safe. It’s also a good idea not to assume that the pain you’re feeling is GERD abdominal pain. If you are having pain while pregnant, call the doctor to be on the safe side. Whether you have acid reflux and you’re pregnant, or you just suffer from it, you should take steps to help yourself. Keep a food log and talk to your doctor about safe acid reflux treatment options that you have once you know what foods are triggering your acid reflux. A good food log app is the Cara Care food tracker. This will help you stay healthy while finding out what causes your acid reflux.
Now that you know the foods that cause acid reflux thanks to your food log, you’ll have to start a new diet based on your acid reflux. Starting acid reflux lifestyle changes can be hard, but you can do it. It’s a good idea to download an app such as the Allrecipes app and search for recipes that don’t include the acid reflux foods to avoid. Yes, it may be an adjustment. But once you get used to eating the food that’s in your new acid reflux diet, you’ll be surprised at how much better you feel. When you don't have to worry about acid reflux, you'll be able to relax and enjoy life more.

I had terrible acid reflux, and was basically told I'd have to take Prilosec every day forever to "resolve" it. Eat Smart Kiwi lets you record everything you eat/drink and how bad your acid reflux is each day, and figures out which foods help it and which foods make it worse. It does this over multiple timescales (i.e. it checks if a food makes acid reflux worse over the next hour, next few hours, next day...) Even though my acid reflux seemed awful every day, it was sometimes 7/10 bad and sometimes 9/10 bad, and the analysis soon revealed that bananas (and some other fruits to a lesser extent) were the culprit. I would not have guessed this by myself, but sure enough, when I cut that stuff, I was cured. I also take a few seconds extra to record acne, headaches, mood, and a few other things to get insights into what affects those too. When at my comptuer, I use it on the web (https://www.eatsmartkiwi.com) and it syncs with the Android/iOS app almost instantly.
