Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat smaller meals more often.
  • Drink fluids to stay hydrated.
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.
  • Maintain a healthy weight by regular exercising.
  • Avoid lying down immediately after eating, as it might trigger acidity.
  • Avoid tight-fitting clothes as they may create pressure in the abdomen and might force food and acid in your stomach into the oesophagus.
  • Practise relaxation techniques and avoid stress by doing yoga or meditation.
  • Limit foods such as high-fat, spicy chocolates, citrus fruits, pineapple, tomato, onion, garlic, tea and soda. 
  • Do not sit continuously, as it may trigger acidity. Take a break of 5 minutes every hour by doing brisk walking or stretching.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Acidity: A mucous layer typically protects the stomach from acid. Excess acid production can erode the mucous layer, resulting in complications such as GERD, acidity, and peptic ulcers. Symptoms include heartburn, a sour or bitter taste, and difficulty swallowing.

Nausea and vomiting: Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which the person feels an urge to vomit, whereas vomiting is an uncontrollable reflex that expels the stomach's contents through the mouth. Nausea and vomiting may occur separately or together. The common causes include motion sickness, emotional stress, indigestion, food poisoning, high fever or overeating.
