Heartburn Diet: Foods to Eat And Avoid

What Foods to Exclude

There are also those foods that have a detrimental effect on the stomach, as they lead to the production of additional acid. The reaction to the same foods may vary from person to person, but there are some that need to be definitely excluded from the diet. They are;

  • Tomatoes, including sauces and fresh tomato juices;
  • sweet desserts;
  • bakery products;
  • coffee and chocolate in large quantities;
  • sweet soda; citrus and citrus juices;
  • rich broths;
  • pickles and marinades;
  • onion and garlic; mint;
  • hot spices; berries with a sour taste;
  • all types of alcohol, etc.

As a rule, the fatter and juicier the food, the harder it is for the stomach. However, there is no definite answer to the question of which food is right for you. To track foods that cause acidity, we recommend starting a journal. In it, you can note which foods are causing heartburn and how severe the symptoms are. To get a complete picture, fill out the diary every day for at least two weeks. Then discuss the results with your doctor. Eating the right foods that reduce acid production and maintain a healthy lifestyle is important in the first steps in the fight against heartburn.
