Avoid overeating, that means don’t eat on the run; take time to enjoy your meals and to savor each bite.

Stop eating before you feel full or get over satisfied. Don’t just eat before bed time. Allow your stomach to empty for at least three to four hours.

Stay away from foods that are hard to digest, saturated, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats linger in the stomach and often lead to acid reflux.

The most frequent culprits are fried and greasy foods, red meat and heavy sources. Avoid eating caffeine, alcohol, chocolate and spicy or minty foods as they irritate the stomach and they can aggravate your symptom.
