  Even a glass of cool lemonade on a hot day may lead to very hot acid reflux heartburn attack. If you have chronic acid reflux heartburn then you should stick to drinking water. Water has lots of benefits including the facilitation of the digestion processes. In addition it reduces the build up of acid in your stomach. Drinking whole milk is also not advised; however skim milk can be ingested in moderation.

  Many acid reflux heartburn sufferers find that most fried foods cause acid reflux heartburn symptoms. These include French fries, fried chicken, Buffalo wings and any pan or deep fried meats. When it comes to eating meat broiling although not totally safe is a much preferred method of preparation.

Food or drink that contains caffeine including chocolate, coffee or tea will most assuredly initiate an acid reflux heartburn attack. It requires a degree of discipline to control acid reflux heartburn symptoms.
  
  The choice is always how much can I get away with without getting burned by heartburn pain and suffering? Each of our bodies is unique and as such some types of foods will cause problems and others will not. Keeping a log of what you are eating and drinking will assist your decision making. If you find that certain foods initiate acid reflux heartburn then you can note to avoid them. The more detailed your information becomes the better your diet choices. In time you will find that simple changes in diet and lifestyle will help you control your acid reflux heartburn symptoms.
  
  When food enters the stomach it will secret hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsin to begin digestion of its content. The second sphincter at the lower part of the esophagus, bordering the stomach, remains closed until food reaches it. However, in some individuals the muscle tone of that sphincter is poor and remains open - allowing stomach contents to reenter up the esophagus and into the throat. This condition is called acid reflux.
  
  Acid reflux, or gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD), is the most commonly used name for a disease that results in damage of the esophagus. Stomach digestive juices containing hydrochloric acids and the protein digesting enzyme pepsin are forced to return back into the esophagus, as a result of esophageal sphincter weakness. The role of the sphincter is to prevent the stomach contents from moving back in the esophagus and the occurrence of acid reflux. Digestive juices from the stomach, when gushing back, irritate and inflame the area and - with time - scar the esophageal wall. Acid reflux is a chronic health condition, with a long-term repercussions.
  
  Treatment for acid reflux can only help short term and commonly antacids are used to ease the pain and symptoms from acid reflux or GERD. Antacids are usually helpful in short-term cases and infrequent attacks, but they can't provide a long-term relief. A diagnosis of acid reflux is performed by gastroscopy, a medical examination using a flexible, thin fiber-optic instrument coupled to an eyepiece and light source called gastroscope.
