Dr. David Samadi and Dr. Marc Siegel of the Fox News Medical A-Team discuss methods for managing acid reflux disease. Both doctors agree that lifestyle changes are necessary in being able to manage acid reflux without the use of medications. Such lifestyle changes include eating smaller portions, eating more frequently, avoiding alcohol and tobacco products, and regular exercise.
However, some patients may not benefit from these changes due to defective valves that typically prevent acid from coming into the asophagus. Dr. Samadi states that in these cases there are very effective surgical treatments that can correct this problem.
