Tips to relieve heartburn and acid reflux Patients with reflux are advised to lose weight and get rid of obesity, as studies have shown that obesity causes reflux and bloating. 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). Avoid drinking carbonated drinks, coffee, or any caffeinated beverages. Do not take any medications without your doctor’s supervision, as some side effects of medications can affect stomach health and cause reflux and digestive 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. Wearing loose clothing 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 to help avoid obesity and fat accumulation in the body.
