Question:

What foods should be avoided to reduce acidity?

Answer:

Certain foods can increase acid levels or relax the valve between the stomach and food pipe, making acidity worse. Avoiding these triggers helps control symptoms naturally.

Foods to Avoid

  • Spicy, fried, and oily foods.
  • Caffeine (coffee, tea), chocolate, and carbonated drinks.
  • Citrus fruits, tomato-based sauces, and vinegar.
  • Alcohol and late-night heavy meals.
