Hello. For gastroesophageal reflux disease, you need drug treatment for a long period of 8 weeks, combined with lifestyle changes: Abstain from eating sour, spicy, greasy foods, drinking water. gas, alcohol, coffee, cigarettes.... After eating, it takes 1-2 hours to lie down, put the head of the bed high to limit the reflux of gastric juice.
Particularly for turmeric, according to oriental medicine, it has anti-inflammatory effects, protecting the stomach lining. As for the effectiveness of treating gastroesophageal reflux disease from fresh turmeric, there is no scientific research to prove it.
It is best to spend time going to major medical centers or hospitals of Vinmec Health System to be examined by qualified doctors and give the most specific treatment.
Looking forward to meeting you to discuss your current medical condition. Thank you for trusting and sharing questions with Vinmec.
