Oatmeal
Whole grains like oatmeal help to neutralize stomach acids. Oatmeal is delicious and healthy food, usually enjoyed for breakfast. It is an excellent source of dietary fiber, which supports digestive health and prevents illnesses like constipation or bloating. Also, studies have shown that dietary fiber can significantly reduce the risk of a reflux. Other fiber options include whole-grain pieces of bread and whole-grain rice.
Fruits
Fruits, including melons, bananas, apples, beetroots, and pears, are less likely to trigger reflux symptoms. Please note that the common acidic fruits include lime, oranges, grapefruits, and other citrus [6] fruits. They contain citric acid, which stimulates the stomach to produce more acids.
Foods are tested on the pH scale to indicate acid levels, and reports have shown that foods with a low pH are acidic and more likely to cause reflux. Those with higher pH are alkaline and can help neutralize strong stomach acid.
Alkaline fruits are bananas, melons, and nuts. Cucumber and watermelon are watery fruits that help control gastric acid levels and prevents heartburns.
