Does gastric acid and sugar trigger acid reflux?
Asked by Male, 44 · 3 months ago
Yes, both gastric issues and high sugar intake can trigger acid reflux. Sugary foods and drinks digest quickly, causing the stomach to produce more acid and sometimes leading to bloating and acid backflow. If you already have acidity or gastric sensitivity, this effect becomes stronger. Cutting down on sweets, avoiding carbonated drinks, eating smaller meals, and taking an antacid can help control your symptoms.
