Some foods that are more likely to cause acid reflux than others, such as coffee, chocolate, and fizzy drinks. We also recommend avoiding the following:
- Fatty foods such as greasy chips, crisps, creamy sauces, butter and whole milk
- Acidic fruit and vegetables, including tomatoes, onion, pineapple, and citrus fruits
There is some debate over whether spicy foods cause acid reflux. To find your individual food “triggers”, keep a food diary so you can pinpoint what’s causing the problem.
