Heartburn-Free Kids Recipes

One of the leading triggers of heartburn is the food we eat. In addition, fatty foods can cause a lot of problems for those prone to suffering heartburn, so parents can do their kids' bodies a favor by finding low-fat options for school lunches. Since our kids have to eat, we need to do our kids' bodies a favor by creating an acid reflux diet for them with low-fat options for their favorite dishes.
