I have been told that acid reflux can back up when the stomach does not empty efficiently into the stomach and that soluble fiber may help. I have been trying the soluble fiber supplement Benefiber, but I prefer to do things with organic food. I hope I can build my ability to maintain a more consistent diet including soluble fiber. My list is oatmeal, lentils, barley, quinoa, avacado, pectin rich fruits, bran?, vegetables. Can you add any info? So far barley is the only one that is unappealing. I am getting used to quinoa. I guess the list is longer than I was thinking of. Any suggestion will be appreciated. My thinking needs to change.

The typical reason for acid reflux is slowed gastric emptying and a lack of adequate pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter. Ways to improve this include slowing down smaller meals (chewing more thoroughly), not drinking fluids with meals, and avoiding food allergies (gluten and dairy are often contributing factors), alcohol, chocolate, coffee, fatty meals, spicy foods, soft drinks, and citrus.
There are many anti-inflammatory compounds in colorful fruits and vegetables, as well as gluten free grain alternatives (quinoa, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, chia, flax) as well as in supplements such as curcumin and melatonin. If you want to include a fiber supplement, you can use organic flax meal or psyllium husk instead of a lower quality supplement like Benefiber.
