Problem: Article: Spicy foods can make heartburn worse, and may also increase reflux symptoms generally. Heavily seasoned and spicy foods encourage your stomach to produce more acid. In general, start by eliminating all condiments and seasonings except black pepper. If there are particular condiments or seasonings you like, add them back 1 at a time and monitor your reflux symptoms. Full-fat dairy products, including milkshakes and regular ice cream, can exacerbate reflux symptoms. Stick to skim milk or try alternative non-dairy products (like soy milk), and look for nonfat or low-fat yogurts and cheeses. Experiment with eliminating different dairy products from your diet to find out which ones give you reflux. For example, you may find that ice cream causes problems for you. If so, you might try switching to low-fat frozen yogurt. Reflux occurs when stomach acid acts in combination with the stomach enzyme pepsin. When you have LPR, it's actually pepsin that gets into your throat and airways. When you eat and drink acidic foods and beverages, it creates an acidic environment in your throat for pepsin to flourish and cause irritation.  Most fruits are highly acidic, but especially citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, and grapefruits. Colas and other carbonated drinks are even more acidic than citrus fruits. If you must drink carbonated beverages, stick to sugar-free, low-carbonation drinks like Fresca. Try to avoid foods with a pH of 5 or lower. When in doubt, do an online search to find out about the pH of foods and drinks you are interested in. You might consult a chart like this one: https://www.clemson.edu/extension/food/food2market/documents/ph_of_common_foods.pdf. People who have weight issues are at much greater risk for developing reflux conditions, including LPR. If you are struggling with excess weight, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian about healthy ways to lose weight.  Generally, eating smaller portions puts less pressure on your esophageal sphincters, allowing them to keep your stomach acid down. High-fat and fried foods also may exacerbate your reflux symptoms. Frozen or restaurant foods often are prepared in oils that may promote reflux as well. Smaller meals put less pressure on your esophageal sphincters as you digest, making it less likely that you will experience reflux symptoms. Treat your LPR by having 4 or 5 small meals a day, rather than 3 larger ones.  In addition to eating smaller portions of food, try to eat more slowly. Make sure you thoroughly chew your food before swallowing, and drink water between mouthfuls. Allow your food to settle before you engage in any strenuous activities. Staying well-hydrated can help prevent reflux, and will also keep your throat clear. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day – more if you're engaging in exercise or other intense physical activity. Don't consider other drinks a substitute for water, even if they contain water. For example, although coffee is mostly water, coffee is a diuretic and can trigger reflux.
Summary: Choose bland rather than spicy foods. Consume skim or low-fat dairy products. Avoid highly acidic foods and beverages. Reduce your daily caloric intake. Eat smaller meals throughout the day. Drink plenty of water.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use fresh aloe juice from a cut leaf of the plant, or buy a commercial aloe gel. Smear some of the juice or gel onto your sunburned lips, and let it dry. You should feel some cool relief, and the aloe will also help to heal the burn.  You can purchase aloe leaves from the produce section of some grocery stores, if you don’t have a plant at home. To get at the juice, just cut the outer green layer of the plant to reveal the wet, gel-like inner portion. Do not use an aloe gel on your lips if the instructions do not recommend it. Apply aloe as often as needed. Store your aloe or gel in the fridge for added cooling relief. Many regular lip balms are very effective at healing sunburned lips. Look for one with shea or cocoa butter along with SPF protection. That way, the balm will help clear up the sunburn and protect your lips from further sun damage.  Lip balms come in a variety of forms--tubes, sticks, and pastes. To apply lip balm, rub the tube or stick on your lips (or use your finger to rub on the paste) until they are evenly coated in a thin layer. Apply new lip balm whenever the previous layer wears off. Look for an ointment that is specifically designed for use on lips, since many topical antibiotics (and hydrocortisone creams) are not safe to ingest. Simply rub a layer of the ointment onto your lips once a day. Cook some oatmeal as you normally would. Let it cool. Dab it on your lips once a day like you would a sponge, then rinse it off. Oatmeal is a traditional skin healer that heals sunburns, so this may help heal your lips. Petroleum jelly or products containing it can cause further damage to sunburned skin, so avoid these. In addition, lotions containing pain relievers like benzocaine or lidocaine can actually irritate sunburned skin instead of providing relief, so don’t use them either.
Summary:
Apply aloe to your lips. Use some lip balm. Rub on a layer of antibiotic ointment, if you have any open blisters. Apply an oatmeal paste. Don’t use petroleum jelly or pain-relieving lotions.
