    When RH occurs as a result of an identifiable underlying medical condition, treating that condition is the first line of care.[1]

    Otherwise, although there are currently no dietary guidelines in place for RH management, lifestyle, and dietary modifications may reduce the severity of symptoms.[2] Dietary changes may include balancing meal composition (combining complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), eating more frequently, reducing meal sizes, avoiding trigger foods (simple sugars and processed carbohydrates), and increasing fiber consumption.[3][2][4][5] Lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, may also be recommended when appropriate.[1]
