Avoid trigger foods

Certain foods and drinks can trigger acid reflux and heartburn. Identify and avoid them.

Resist overeating

If you're prone to heartburn, consider eating smaller meals more frequently.

Avoid snacking before bedtime

Laying down with a stomach full of food can trigger acid reflux and make heartburn symptoms worse.

Eat ripe banana

The high potassium content of a banana makes it a fairly alkaline food. 

Avoid smoking

Quitting smoking can reduce the frequency and severity of acid reflux and, in some cases, even eliminate it.

Chew gum

Chewing a piece of gum may treat acid reflux and relieve the symptoms of heartburn.

Wear loose-fitting clothes

Tight-fitting belts and clothing that squeeze your belly may be contributing to your symptoms.
