There is an ongoing debate among both professionals and patients as to whether specific foods can trigger heartburn. Studies have been done and other studies re-examined, with the conclusion in some circles that there is no evidence to show that any of the dietary restrictions make a difference in whether or not a person suffers from heartburn. Others state that what accounts for most heartburn episodes was the patient being overweight and/or failing to elevate the head and shoulders while sleeping.
