Life Style Recommendations

1. Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) unless absolutely necessary to ease GI irritation.

Dietary Recommendations

1. Avoid common allergic producing foods such as wheat, dairy, corn and soy.

2. Experiment with your diet to find what possibly may trigger symptoms; high fat foods, spicy foods,

mint, chocolate, coffee, black tea and acidic drinks can all contribute to symptoms.

3. Do not rush your meals. Thoroughly chew your food and take time to enjoy each bite
