occurrence of side effects in adults and children including diarrhea, abdominal
pain, nausea, dizziness, constipation, and headache. Symptom relief does not
rule out other serious stomach conditions. Before taking Prevacid, tell your
doctor if you are taking ampicillin, atazanavir, digoxin, iron, ketoconazole, or
warfarin.

not been established in pediatric patients.

Acid Reflux Disease and Your Daily Diet
For people diagnosed with
acid reflux disease, whether you're feeling symptoms or not, managing your condition will mean permanent changes to your diet.
Talk to your doctor about diet changes that you will be able to follow long-term. Learn about the kinds of foods that bother you. Everyone is different and the foods that affect you may not affect someone else the same way.
Foods to avoidChanges to your diet should be made sensibly. The object is not to feel deprived, but to avoid those types of foods that cause your
acid reflux disease to act up. Some of the more common foods and beverages associated with heartburn and
acid reflux disease are:
- Fried and fatty foods
- Spicy foods
- Onions
- Citrus fruits
- Alcoholic drinks
- Coffee
- Chocolate
- Peppermint and spearmint
- Caffeinated drinks
- Tomato-based products
If you're not sure which foods and beverages trigger your
acid reflux disease, start keeping a journal. Whenever you feel irritation, write down what you've been eating. Keep the notepad someplace consistent (such as on your refrigerator); that way, you can compile a list of foods and beverages to avoid. You can use our
Symptom Diary to get started now!
