Avoid eating foods that cause reflux and gastritis, including fatty foods high in fats and oils, spicy foods with spices, citrus fruits like lemon, orange, and tomatoes, mint, chocolate, onions. Stay away from carbonated drinks, coffee, or any caffeinated beverages. Do not take any medications except under your doctor’s supervision, as some side effects of medications affect stomach health and cause reflux and gastrointestinal ulcers. Quit smoking or being in places with smokers, as some studies have shown that nicotine in cigarettes relaxes muscles and causes pain and reflux in the esophagus. Wear loose clothing, which is one of the important precautions recommended for patients with reflux to prevent pain and severe inflammation. Follow a healthy diet containing vitamins and essential nutrients for body health, including vegetables and fruits. Divide daily meals into five small portions to prevent bloating and reflux, and help avoid obesity and fat accumulation in the body.
