I experience acidity after eating sweet or fried foods, even though I drink a lot of water daily. What diet plan and medication should I take to treat this issue?
Sweet and fried foods delay digestion and relax the lower oesophageal sphincter, causing acid reflux. Drinking water dilutes the acid temporarily, but doesn't prevent this trigger. Diet Plan: Avoid fried, fatty, and highly sugary foods. Eat smaller, more frequent meals, and avoid lying down for at least 2-3 hours after eating. Medication: For quick relief, you can use over-the-counter antacids (like calcium carbonate). For ongoing symptoms, a daily H2 blocker (like Famotidine) or a Proton Pump Inhibitor (like Omeprazole 20mg) taken 30 minutes before your first meal can help. Please consult a doctor in person for a proper prescription and to rule out other issues.
