1. Detoxify for 1 or 2 weeks. Eliminate tobacco, alcohol, yeast, flower, eggs, diary, sugar and starches, and acid fruits and veggies for the above period of time. Eliminate all the drugs that could be eliminated without harming effect.
2. After finishing the detox, start a healthy diet, based on plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Legumes, low-fat sources of protein and certain types of fish may also help reduce heart disease risk and to reduce your acid reflux problems. Limit intake of saturated fats, eliminate trans fat, and acid forming foods.
3. Avoid fried foods, whole milk or milk based products, chocolate and sweets, fast food restaurants, spicy foods, citrus, tomato, acidic foods, high fat foods, alcohol and regular coffee or carbonated drinks like soda, smoking. Be careful with foods that cause gas forming- beans, broccoli.

13. In case of constipation: you can help keep your body running smoothly with a fiber-rich diet: add a high fiber breakfast cereal to your morning meal. Add extra servings of vegetables to each lunch and dinner, and substitute whole organic fruits for chips at snack time. Also drink plenty of water, get daily exercise, and utilize some type of relaxation technique daily, such as biofeedback, breathing exercises or yoga (stress can interfere with relaxation of the whole body, including the bowels). In case the above doesn’t help Triphala- an Ayurvedic herb can help and a low dose of magnesium glycinate may also be helpful for chronic constipation.
