Chewing gum can work extremely well to reduce acid reflux because it tells the body to produce more saliva, a natural cleanser of acid in the gut. Chew a stick of gum for 30 minutes after eating a meal. The salivary glands get to work and help to calm the excess acid in the stomach. Choose sugar-free gum to maintain dental health.
