If you suffer from Acid Reflux, there are many foods which are proven to increase the frequency or severity of heartburn and other symptoms related to your Acid Reflux.  Although this list is nowhere near complete, it will not hold true for everyone (as everyone’s body is different).  Please only use this list as a basic guideline.  The best thing for you to do as an individual, is to keep a logbook of what foods you have eaten prior to experiencing heartburn from your Acid Reflux.  Over time, you will be able to use this information to understand better which foods your body reacts negatively towards.

As a general rule of thumb, any food that is either high in fat or very acidic should be avoided.  Again, that disclaimer does not hold true to every sufferer of Acid Reflux.
