How to manage acid reflux and heartburn caused by acidity?

Asked by Female, 30 · 3 months ago

Acid reflux and heartburn can be managed by avoiding trigger foods such as spicy, fatty, or acidic foods, as well as caffeine, carbonated drinks, and late-night meals. Eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding lying down immediately after eating, and elevating the head of the bed can also help. Over-the-counter antacids or H2 blockers provide quick relief, while proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are usually recommended for persistent symptoms to reduce stomach acid and promote healing of the esophagus (food pipe).
