Foods to avoid when you suffer from heartburn

Foods To Avoid

Certain foods can aggravate your heartburn symptoms, and it's best to limit or avoid completely those foods and drinks that result in acid reflux. There are some foods that should be avoided entirely, as they are usually responsible for a higher occurrence of heartburn. The foods listed in the Foods To Avoid Table are the most common foods that can produce heartburn. This is by no means a complete list, and in your personal situation, you may find you can eat some of the foods from the "Avoid" group with no problem. If you keep a Food Diary, you will have a better idea of what foods you need to avoid.

To learn more about what are the foods to be avoided you can read this Foods To Avoid article.
