Avoid foods that can cause heartburn
Common culprits of heartburn include coffee, chocolate, soda, alcohol, meat, dairy, spicy foods, fried foods and acidic foods. Here are some other foods to avoid when you have acid reflux.
Eat protein-rich meals and avoid fatty meals
Meals packed with protein have been shown to increase the lower esophageal sphincter’s pressure, making it stronger against acid reflux and one of the best home remedies for heartburn. Fatty foods, however, decrease pressure on the LES, making acid reflux and heartburn more likely.
