Reflux diet

A reflux diet aims to reduce symptoms of acid reflux, where stomach acid irritates the esophagus. It involves avoiding foods and drinks that trigger heartburn, such as spicy foods, citrus, chocolate, caffeine, and fatty or fried items. Eating smaller, more frequent meals, and not lying down immediately after eating, can help. Wearing loose clothing and maintaining a healthy weight also support reflux management. The goal is to minimize acid production and prevent stomach contents from escaping into the esophagus, promoting comfort and preventing complications. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
