Foods and Beverages That Cause Acid Reflux: What to AvoidAcid reflux, a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide, is often triggered by specific foods and beverages. Understanding what to avoid can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. This article explores some of the most common dietary culprits of acid reflux and provides insights into how to make better choices.Spicy foods are notorious for causing acid reflux. Dishes rich in chili peppers, hot sauce, and other spices can irritate the esophagus and lead to heartburn. Similarly, fatty foods like fried chicken, cheeseburgers, and heavy cream sauces can slow digestion and increase the likelihood of reflux. These foods relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus.Tomatoes and citrus fruits are other common triggers. Foods like oranges, grapefruits, and tomatoes are highly acidic and can exacerbate acid reflux symptoms. The high acid content can irritate the lining of the esophagus and lead to discomfort. Additionally, beverages such as coffee, alcohol, and carbonated drinks can cause acid reflux. Coffee and alcohol both relax the LES, while carbonated drinks can increase stomach pressure, pushing acid into the esophagus.Chocolate, a favorite treat for many, is also a known trigger for acid reflux. It contains caffeine and other stimulants that relax the LES. Onions and garlic, although flavorful and commonly used in cooking, can also cause acid reflux. These foods can trigger heartburn by relaxing the LES and increasing stomach acid production.We hope this topic has been useful to you. Share it if you think it can help other people.
