What Foods Trigger Heartburn or Acid Reflux?
The foods that most commonly trigger heartburn and reflux are fatty and acidic. While you may expect caffeine, carbonated beverages, spices, fried and fatty foods, tomato products, and citrus to trigger reflux, you may be surprised that chocolate and peppermint are culprits too! All of these foods do not trigger reflux in everyone. It is important that you find what works for you. Try eliminating all possible “triggers” and then gradually adding them back one at a time to see what prompts your attacks. Cooking Resources Heartburn doesn’t have to be a frequent problem when you make these simple lifestyle adjustments. There are many excellent cookbooks available that have taken recipes for everything from comfort, butter laden mashed potatoes to exotic “dinner party” fare and modified them to help the acid reflux sufferer. One of these books is Eating for Acid Reflux by Jill Sklar and Annabel Cohen.
