I have been having heartburns for some time, especially after eating any peppery food. Kindly advise me on how to solve the problem.

It has been confirmed that high-fibre consumption may minimise issues with chronic acid reflux. Therefore, you can try fibre-rich foods such as oatmeal, whole-grain bread, brown rice and quinoa. Bananas, an alkaline fruit, can help neutralise stomach acid.

As long as you aren’t also lactose intolerant, dairy foods such as milk and yoghurt are also good choices. Foods to avoid include fried and fatty dishes, citrus fruits (especially lemons and limes), tomatoes, peppermint, carbonated beverages, coffee and alcohol.
