  • heartburn after eating, which may be worse at night or while lying down
  • reduction of food or acidic liquid
  • pain in the upper abdomen or chest
  • dysphagia and a feeling that something sticks in the throat.

Honey and reflux

Diet and honey can play a role in symptom management. Some foods and drinks can aggravate symptoms, such as fats, alcohol and coffee, while others, such as honey, can have beneficial properties due to their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, it is important to consult a specialist before incorporating new elements into your reflux diet.
