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.

Acid reflux can cause throat irritation and lower abdominal discomfort. To ease it, eat small meals, avoid spicy or oily foods, do not lie down right after eating, and elevate your head while sleeping. Drinking water and using doctor-advised antacids can help. If the pain is severe, persistent, or comes with vomiting or difficulty swallowing, see a doctor promptly.

Acid reflux and chest burning happen when stomach acid comes up into the food pipe. This usually occurs due to spicy or oily foods, eating large meals, lying down soon after eating, too much tea/coffee, stress, or gastric issues. Sugar can also worsen acidity in some people. These factors irritate the food pipe and cause chest burn, throat irritation, and sour taste. Eating light meals, avoiding trigger foods, reducing caffeine, and taking an antacid usually helps. If symptoms keep coming back, it is best to get checked.

Grade-1 fatty liver and excessive gas can happen along with acid-peptic disease or colitis, but they are not always directly related. Fatty liver usually develops from an unhealthy diet, being overweight, high sugars, or high cholesterol. Excessive gas and acidity are more commonly linked to acid-peptic disease, gastritis, IBS, or colitis. However, poor digestion and unhealthy eating habits can worsen both problems at the same time. If your gas, acidity, or abdominal discomfort is persistent, it is best to consult a doctor.

Moderate throat and ear pain along with frequent acid reflux often happens because stomach acid irritates the throat and causes pain. Consult your doctor for appropriate medicines. Avoid spicy foods, caffeine, and late-night meals, and sip warm water to soothe the throat.
