Place 2 cups (400 grams) of fresh, sliced strawberries, cup (115 grams) of granulated white sugar, and cup (120 milliliters) of water into a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the strawberry mixture into a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth, about 10 seconds. From time to time, pause the blender/food processor, and use a rubber spatula to push any lumps or clumps down towards the bottom. The smoother the puree is, the smoother your buttercream will be. Pour the syrup into a bowl, and cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap. Put it into the fridge, and leave it there for at least 20 minutes. Keep the leftover strawberry syrup in a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid, and use it within one week. You can use it on top of ice cream, waffles, pancakes, and other desserts. You can do this using a handheld mixer, a stand mixer, or a food processor fitted with whisks. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. The more sugar you add, the stiffer your buttercream will be. Keep adding the sugar and strawberry syrup a little bit at a time until you have used up all of your sugar. Remember, you are only using 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) of the strawberry syrup. Beat it in using a high speed setting for 20 seconds. This will lighten the frosting. Vanilla extract can change the color of frosting slightly. If this bothers you, use the clear, colorless kind. Keep adding the half-and-half until the buttercream holds its shape. You may not need to use all of it. Use a high speed setting, and beat it for only 20 seconds. This will help cut the sweetness a little while lightening the frosting up further. If you need to use refrigerated buttercream, let it sit on the counter until it reaches room temperature, then beat it on low speed until it turns smooth. If you'd like a thicker, stiffer buttercream, refrigerate the buttercream for 40 to 45 minutes. Be sure to cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap so that it doesn't dry out.

Problem: Article: Most natural acid reflux remedies are safe for the majority of adults. Note that some herbal remedies, however, may not be safe for children or teenagers. It's best to try mild lifestyle changes first if you need to treat acid reflux in an adolescent. If these do not work, consult your doctor or do some thorough research before giving an adolescent an herbal remedy. For example, you should not give aloe juice to children under the age of 12 since it may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and cramping. Most herbal remedies and other natural treatments will be safe in moderate amounts, but too much of a good thing can quickly become bad. When using herbal supplements, check the label for dosing instructions. For any natural remedy that does not have dosage instructions readily available, do some research to find out how much you should safely be able to endure. For instance, aloe juice can cause stomach pain and other forms of digestive upset, especially if the juice contains aloe latex. Long-term use of large amounts can also result in kidney problems. Consuming apple cider vinegar is usually considered safe short-term, but drinking too much of it can cause low potassium levels. High or prolonged doses of licorice root can result in headaches, fatigue, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and water retention. Do not take licorice for more than 4 to 6 weeks. If you are not currently pregnant or are not at risk of becoming pregnant, most natural remedies are likely safe for you. However, for acid reflux connected to pregnancy, always talk to your doctor before treating your symptoms to make sure you do not inadvertently harm your baby. It's important that you do this before trying any herbal remedy, dietary fix, or lifestyle change. Similarly, if you are currently breastfeeding, you may need to stay away from certain ingested remedies since they could get into your breastmilk and harm your baby. Most lifestyle remedies will likely be safe, though. Potentially problematic remedies for pregnant and breastfeeding women include, but are not limited to, aloe juice, apple cider vinegar, ginger, fennel, licorice, and slippery elm. In addition to pregnancy, certain medical conditions may also make herbal remedies or other natural fixes unsafe. If you have a known health concern other than acid reflux, talk to your doctor or do your research before trying any particular home cure. Avoid aloe juice if you have diabetes, intestinal conditions, hemorrhoids, or kidney problems. Talk to your doctor before trying apple cider vinegar if you have diabetes. While ACV may have some benefits for people with type 2 diabetes, it may do more harm than good if you have type 1 diabetes. Ginger may cause problems if you have a bleeding disorder, a heart condition, or diabetes. If you are allergic to celery, carrot, or mugwort, you may have an allergic reaction to fennel. You should also avoid fennel if you have a bleeding disorder or hormone-sensitive condition, like estrogen-sensitive cancers. Licorice root may cause problems if you have heart disease, heart failure, hormone-sensitive cancers, fluid retention, hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, or low potassium. If you have an immune system disorder, you may need to avoid taking probiotic supplements.
Summary:
Use herbal remedies as an adult with acid reflux. Try natural remedies in moderation. Consider natural remedies if you're not pregnant or breastfeeding. Exercise caution if you have other medical conditions.
