An internationally known chef and nutritionist, Chef LaLa is well known for spotlighting healthy lifestyle tips. Having seen family and friends suffer from frequent heartburn, she is now working with Prilosec OTC to develop recipe tips that can help minimize the chances of heartburn without compromising flavor.
With so many fiestas throughout the holiday season, it is easy to enchilarte (over do the chile) which can exacerbate the symptoms of frequent heartburn, said Chef LaLa. Taking simple steps like reducing acidity and spices in foods and taking Prilosec OTC as directed can help stop the acid that causes heartburn before it starts.*
A well-respected health advocate within the Latino community and board-certified internist and GI specialist, Dr. Jorge Rodriguez is no stranger to treating frequent heartburn. For over a decade, Dr. Jorge has been treating patients who have suffered with heartburn and have done nothing about managing the symptoms. He has partnered with Prilosec OTC to educate the community about frequent heartburn, why its commonly misunderstood, and how one pill of Prilosec OTC taken in the morning before breakfast can provide 24-hour relief.*
I often recommend Prilosec OTC to my patients who suffer from frequent heartburn, which is heartburn occurring 2 or more times a week, said Dr. Jorge. Treating frequent heartburn with a 14 day regimen of Prilosec OTC is better than dealing with multiple episodes of heartburn. Im proud to partner with Prilosec OTC to make the members of our community better aware of how to treat their symptoms and allow them to do the activities they enjoy.
The Latino culture is filled with colorful, flavorful traditions and we want families to continue celebrating their heritage without worrying about the discomfort of frequent heartburn, said Chris Vuturo, spokesperson for Prilosec OTC. Were excited to partner with Chef LaLa and Dr. Jorge to help Latino families begin taking action when it comes to heartburn relief. By taking one Prilosec OTC pill each morning as directed,* sufferers can manage their frequent heartburn and enjoy more time with family.
