Acid reflux can get worse with the intake of certain foods. While certain foods like caffeine, fried and spicy foods are a complete no-no when you have bouts of acid reflux, some foods are better tolerated than others. If you do not know what to eat when suffering from acid reflux, we got you the list from nutritionist Urvashi Sawhney.
Less acidic fruits: Fruits like banana and pears other non-acidic fruits are good to beat acidity. Not only do these fruits contain vitamins and minerals that help build the damaged stomach wall portions but also protect your stomach lining from acid attacks.
Boiled vegetables: Boiled vegetables are easy to digest. Not only do boiled veggies require less stomach acid to be absorbed, but they are also quickly cleared from the stomach and sent to the rest of the intestine.
Milk: Milk is perfect for soothing an irritated stomach lining and oesophagus. When consumed cold, milk soothes a burning throat, and its basic nature neutralises excessive acids in the stomach.
Lean meats: Low in fat and high in protein lean meats such as chicken and fish can help reduce acid reflux. Just don’t fry them, eat them grilled, poached, and baked.
Healthy fats: When you experience acid reflux, you need to reduce your intake of saturated and trans fats and replace them with healthier unsaturated fats like avocados, flaxseeds, walnuts, olive oil and sesame oil.
Oatmeal: Whole grains like oatmeal is an excellent source of fibre that can absorb acid and reduce the symptoms of reflux in the stomach.
