  • Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.
  • Avoid lying down after eating to prevent acid backflow.
  • Avoid tight-fitting clothes, as it might increase the pressure on the abdomen, leading to acid reflux.
  • Maintain a healthy weight by regularly exercising.
  • Practice relaxation techniques and avoid stress by doing yoga or meditation.
  • Avoid high-fat foods, spicy foods, chocolates, citrus fruits, pineapple, tomato, onion, garlic, tea and soda.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Peptic ulcers: An ulcer is a sore that develops on the lining of the stomach, oesophagus or small intestine due to erosion of the protective stomach lining. A gastric ulcer is an ulcer of the stomach lining, whereas a duodenal ulcer is an ulcer on the duodenal lining. Symptoms include nausea, changes in appetite, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion.

GERD: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.
