Food And Acid Reflux
Recipes
For all sufferers of acid reflux, eating mildly and specially
selected recipes bring fair improvement. Some nutritionists
contend that Acid Reflux is not a disease at all but a mere
condition that is the result of unhealthy eating habits. The
following are some friendly foods and acid reflux recipes for
easy home preparation.
Healthy Food For Use In Acid Reflux Recipes
Many vegetables, fruits, and drinks are friendly to people
suffering from acid reflux condition and can be used in acid
reflux recipes. Fresh and dried apples, and bananas are
friendly fruits. Vegetable baked potato; broccoli, cabbage,
carrots, green beans and peas are healthy vegetables. Friendly
animal foods include ground beef (extra-lean), steak (London
Broil), skinless chicken breast, egg whites, egg substitute,
and fish with no added fat. In dairy foods, friendly acid
reflux items include dairy cheese (feta or goat), cream cheese
(fat-free), and sour cream (fat-free). Mult-grain bread,
cereal, bran or oatmeal, corn bread, Graham crackers, Pretzels,
Rice (brown or white), and rice cakes are harmless grain-based
foods. Filtered pure water is the best drink, and perhaps the
only entirely harmless one, for acid reflux condition.
Vegetable Broth
Vegetable broth as described here is alkaline and rich in
minerals. Alkalinity neutralizes the acid and provides relief.
Vegetable broth can be taken as a simple soup, or as a stock
for cooking. Acid reflux recipes for vegetable broth vary in
ingredients. A simplest one needs include two cups each of red
skinned potato peelings, celery tops, beet tops, and carrots.
Also needed are three cups of celery stalk, one small onion,
one small zucchini or yellow squash, sprig of parsley, and two
and a half quarts distilled water. Simply chop all vegetables
into very fine pieces. Place in the water and bring to the
boiling temperature. Simmer for 20 minutes. Cool a little for
instant use and strain and refrigerate for future
use.
Lemon Chive Salad Dressing
Salads of reflux friendly items are very easy to prepare and
ideal acid reflux recipes. Lemon chive salad dressing is
classic vinaigrette for green salads. To prepare, you would
require one lemon juiced, sea salt (pinch), three tablespoons
extra-fine sugar, six tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, the
same quantity of minced chives and freshly ground black pepper.
Now combine lemon juice, salt and sugar in a bowl. Whisk until
the sugar and salt are dissolved. Continue whisking in the
olive oil, chives and several grinds of pepper. Keep whisking
until dressing is emulsified.
Savory Lentils with Texmati Brown Rice
This is a unique preparation among acid reflux recipes. To a
large pot bring one pound of rinsed organic lentils to a boil
in eight cups of water. Add other ingredients: one chopped
onion, three cloves of garlic (chopped), two sliced carrots,
two chopped stalks celery, one bay leaf, two sprigs of thyme,
and Organic Texmati brown rice (follow instructions on
package). Reduce to the simmer, partially covered. Cook until
tender (about 20 to 30 minutes), stirring occasionally and
adding more liquid as needed. Remove the bay leaf and thyme
sprigs. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to
taste. Serve over organic Texmati brown rice. Garnish with
chopped parsley. Serve with a light green salad, dressed with
the lemon chive dressing.
