What else can I do about my Acid Related Disorder?
If you have been diagnosed with an acid-related
disorder, your doctor has probably advised you
to look at how you can modify your lifestyle
in order to hasten the onset of relief from your
symptoms and to prevent ongoing problems
in the future.
You may need to consider controlling your
weight and taking more care about what you
eat and drink. It is always worth stopping
smoking. Your unhealthy habits may be your
way of coping with stress, in which case you
may find alternative relaxation techniques
more helpful.
There are GastroClub booklets available which
describe how to achieve beneficial lifestyle
changes. These could not only help reduce the
risk of acid-related problems but also improve
your general health and well-being.
The GastroClub booklets include:
- How can I stop smoking?
- How can alcohol affect my health?
- How can I eat healthily?
- How can I reduce stress?
To receive these booklets and also quarterly
newsletters, which offer further information and
advice on acid-related disorders and lifestyle
modifications, please tick the appropriate boxes
found on the GastroClub reply-paid card.
