the primary approach to properly managing acid reflux shouldn’t be in promoting certain foods instead of others but rather in identifying and avoiding foods that trigger symptoms. basically you shouldn’t focus on what to eat but rather what to avoid. in that regard here are some of the common foods that can trigger acid reflux: • fatty foods • acidic foods like citrus fruits or tomatoes and tomato-containing products • coffee caffeinated beverages or alcohol • chocolate or peppermint • spicy foods i would suggest keeping a journal to write down your dietary intake daily so that you can notice trends and so that you will be able to identify potential triggers as you notice symptoms. also it’s recommended to refrain from lying down after a meal eating too much in one sitting or eating too quickly. quitting smoking and losing weight may also alleviate symptoms. if you are experiencing acid reflux symptoms remedies might include over the counter antacid tablets or prescription medication. certain alkaline foods may help to neutralize acid reflux but it’s more important to prevent acid reflux from occurring in the first place by avoiding triggers. please visit the webmd heartburn/gerd health center for more information.
