2. Cheese
Cheese and other high fat foods, like red meat or nuts, can cause heartburn because fat slows down the emptying of the stomach. This means there’s more pressure in the stomach pushing acid into the esophagus.
3. Alcohol
Beer, wine and spirits relax the muscles in your body–including the esophageal sphincter, which exists to keep acids out. After a drink or two it doesn’t work that well.
4. Citrus fruit
These are highly acidic and that extra acid will only make heartburn worse. The main offenders are oranges, grapefruit and orange juice.
5. Carbonated drinks
The gas in pop or sparkling water can become trapped in your stomach and create pressure that pushes acid into the esophagus.
6. Peppers
Sweet or hot, these colourful vegetables are inflammatory, which triggers your body to create more acid to help digestion.
