10 Foods To Avoid for Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux Food To Avoid #7: Spicy Foods
Spicy foods provide a kick of flavor which is fun for the mouth, but that kick can come back again as acid reflux. While not everyone experiences heartburn as a result of having spicy food, capsaicin increases the possibility of acid reflux. Much like the other foods on this list, spicy food worsens the burning sensation of acid reflux that can come after a meal.
Consider taking the spices down a notch at home and ordering less spicy versions when eating out. Less spicy does not mean you have to start eating bland foods. There are other flavors besides the heat of capsaicin that can excite your tongue without the pain.
