📝SUMMARY
1. Citrus fruits: Amon the foods that cause acid reflux, citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are on top of the list. Because of their acidic content, they not only cause acid reflux but can exacerbate it to a whole new level.

2. Tomatoes: Unfortunately, this delicious and healthful fruit is one of the foods that cause heartburn. Avoid foods that contain tomatoes or tomato-based products, such as ketchup, pizza with tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce, and chili.

3. Peppermint: You’ll be amazed to know that peppermint is an acid reflux trigger, despite its reputation for calming the stomach. Peppermint and spearmint can irritate the digestive tract and cause acid reflux. ​
​
4. Alcohol: People with GERD are known to be negatively affected by all types of alcohol, including beer, wine, and spirits. Furthermore, if you prefer to drink alcohol while dealing with GERD, you should limit yourself to one drink at a time and avoid drinking shortly before bedtime, since you may develop acid reflux during the night.

5. Spicy Foods: Spicy foods are one of the most obvious foods that cause heartburn. A molecule called capsaicin is responsible for the spiciness is a strong acid reflux risk factor. The hotness of capsaicin can also irritate your esophagus, exacerbating any heartburn symptoms.

6. Chocolate: One of the most prevalent foods that cause acid reflux is chocolate. According to research, chocolate induces intestinal cells to release serotonin, which relaxes the esophageal sphincter and allows stomach acid to flow upwards. Chocolate is also acidic, which can irritate your stomach and esophagus, and it contains caffeine, which is another risk factor for GERD.

7. Carbonated Beverages: Carbonated beverages are another major cause of acid reflux. This includes sodas, carbonated water, carbonated energy drinks, carbonated alcoholic drinks, and carbonated juices. These drinks can exacerbate the symptoms of GERD or an acid reflux attack.

8. High-Fat Foods: Acid reflux is known to be triggered by high-fat or fried foods. Fatty foods can cause your esophageal sphincter to relax and your stomach to take longer to empty, both of which can lead to acid reflux.

9. Salt: Acid reflux is exacerbated by table salt or salty foods. For example, one study discovered that participants who added table salt to their meals had a 70% higher risk of reflux than those who did not.

10. Onions: Onions, especially raw onions, are one of those foods that cause heartburn. Like the other foods we listed, onions can cause acid reflux and heartburn by relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter.

11. Milk: Milk is widely used to relieve heartburn. But on the other hand, drinking whole milk can aggravate heartburn, rather than alleviate symptoms. In fact, whole milk has been shown to enhance stomach acid production, which is clearly a risk factor for heartburn.

Take Away: Avoid meals that cause heartburn, and keep track of the amount of food you eat and when you eat it. Keep portion sizes minimal. Eating large portions, especially if you already suffer from acid reflux, is generally a surefire way to heartburn. Make sure you leave enough time between your evening meals and going to bed.
