What foods cause common indigestion? - What you eat helps or hurts your heartburn

Certain foods can cause common indigestion. So if you want to know what they are, read on!

If you are affected by acid reflux or even the much more serious GERD, you may be able to get relief from it simply by changing your diet. You may not need to take medication or opt for surgery to correct the problem.

It is very common to experience acid reflux in the evening. Therefore, do not make any decision after dinner. Try to stop eating 2-3 hours before bedtime. The message is simple…don’t eat before bed if you can avoid it (and you usually can).

Diet may be the biggest routine you can adapt to reduce your acid reflux. If you want to reduce the likelihood of heartburn, try to stay away from acidic foods. Juices and coffee should be reduced or eliminated, as should anything with alcohol.

Often the foods you love seem passable, but they can cause your stomach to produce acid, which in turn creates conditions ripe for heartburn. Foods that contain a lot of fat, like chocolate (yes, chocolate), and spicy foods that contain peppers induce acid reflux. Foods that use tomato sauce, like lasagna, are a massive trigger for indigestion and must be consumed in appropriate quantities.

If you really want to avoid the pain and discomfort of indigestion, you need to think about portion control. Reduce the amount of food you eat. It really is that simple. When your stomach is overly full, the food is literally forced into your esophagus, and because it's mixed with all the acid in your stomach, it can create that very painful burning sensation.

Avoiding common indigestion depends on the small changes you make in your diet and when you choose to eat.
