It is important to drink milk until the esophagus has healed and you have no more acid reflux. There are some easy to make recipes that may be used during the period of recovery. Proton inhibitors drugs only mask the symptoms, so what I truly recommend are natural and healthy recipes. Acid reflux can be healed with herbs, meditation, exercise and diet, health store items.

Not chewing food properly and eating wrong foods determine the condition known as: gastro esophageal reflux disease. In this condition the esophagus is damaged and the lower esophageal sphincter is weakened, the first thing to do in the healing of the gastro esophageal reflux disease is to cure the esophagus.

During the period of recovery you are advised not ot eat any chips, crackers, cereal or any hard foods with sharp edges because  they cause little lacerations  in the esophagus. Other foods that have to be eliminated for some time are: spicy foods, such as acidic tomato products, hot peppers, raw garlic and raw onions because they are irritating, drinking alcohol and smoking affect in a negative way the recovery in acid reflux condition. Eat early and slowly, chew well the food, after sit or walk. The environment should be a stress free one with a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. I recommend you the following recipes which I enjoyed in my recovery period, they are easy and quick and better for maintaining health.

For breakfast fresh fruits are the best possible choice, apples,  bananas, walnuts, almonds, papaya, melon. Buy only organic fruits, although you may find a good choice containers of mixed fruit. Avoid pineapple because is hard to digest and have more healthy meals during the day, so serve fruits for lunch too. In the evening I suggest vegetables raw and platters of crudities. Such as: broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, radishes, tofu dip, yellow and green zucchinis, Belgium endive,  mushrooms, carrot sticks prepare them in the most simple way.

In a blender put  one package of soft tofu, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, parsley for flavor, salt and pepper for taste, squeezed lemon juice and process until creamy. Ready made dips may be found in the supermarkets, but try to eat only healthy and organic food as possible.

You may accord the cooking times to your own taste, I still enjoy to eat those recipes as I prefer food under cooked. My next recipe is for one serving: sauteed white fish with  mashed potatoes, you need  filet of white fish, potato, green vegetable such as broccoli, spinach, peas or asparagus, olive oil and unsalted butter, the fish and the vegetables will take little time to cook in the non-stick sauteed pan over medium high heat, the filet is ready when turns to  light brown.
