Hi Pharmativers! Welcome to Pharmative Talk!β¨
Fasting without GERD struggles? Yes, please! If you often deal with acid reflux during Ramadan, here are some must-know tips to keep your tummy happy:
π Take your meds at the right time
Best taken 30-60 minutes before suhoor or iftar, or 1-2 hours after eating.
π₯¦ Eat GERD-friendly foods
Go for fruits, veggies, and protein at suhoor to keep you full longer without triggering acid reflux.
π Break your fast slowly
Start with something light, like dates and mineral water, to avoid shocking your stomach.
π« No lying down right after eating!
Give your body time to digest properly and prevent acid from creeping up.
π΄ Fix your sleep schedule
Lack of sleep can make GERD worse, so avoid staying up too late.
π§ββοΈ Keep it chill
Stress and heavy activities can trigger GERD, so take it easy and pace yourself.
Take care of your body with the right nutrition, and have a smooth fasting experience! πβ¨
