Acid reflux is a common issue, here are some steps you can incorporate in your daily lifestyle:
-Some foods worsen acidity: strictly avoid fried foods, spicy dishes, processed foods, sugary foods, caffeine, citrus, fatty foods, carbonated drinks.
-Eat small, frequent meals - avoid overeating and late-night eating.
-You can have cinnamon water in the morning (in warm water mix ½ tsp cinnamon, a pinch of black pepper, stir and sip). After main meals, have ½ tsp fennel seeds or jeera-ajwain (½-½ tsp mixed) boiled in water and sipped slowly.
-Walk gently for 10–15 minutes after each meal to support digestion.
-Improve gut health by including prebiotic-rich foods like oats, bananas, onion, garlic; and probiotic foods like kombucha, curd or buttermilk daily.
-Don’t lie down right after meals and elevate your head during sleep.
Next Steps
Persistent symptoms need a personalized plan - consult me for a diet tailored to your acid reflux and gut health.
