10 Foods To Avoid for Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux Food To Avoid #10: Tomatoes
Tomatoes, while full of nutrients, are also acidic. Inevitably, more acid leads to a greater chance for acid reflux. When eating tomatoes, the acid can irritate and inflame the throat and esophagus on the way down to the stomach. Once in the stomach, the acid then contributes to lower stomach acid pH and increasing the gastric content.
One approach to help with eating highly acidic foods is to neutralize them by mixing with less acidic counterparts. For example, adding nonfat or almond milk to a tomato sauce will reduce the acidity of the sauce while still tasting delicious.
