1.Avoid eating animal products
2. Consume whole grains instead of refined grains
3. Cut down salty foods- bcoz higher salt intake can damage stomach mucosal lining.
4. Maintain healthy body weight.
5. Coffee consumption: higher consumption of coffee can increase acid reflux and irritate the stomach.
