2. Drink watr: Sippin watr can help dilute stomach acid.
3. Avoid trigger foods: Spicy, fatty, or acidic foods that may worsen it.
4. Ovr the countr antacids: Meds like Tums or Maalox. My opinion is 2 read ingredients 2 b sure their OK 4 u.

Prevention:

1. Eat smaller meals: It can reduce pressure on stomach.
2. ID n avoid triggers: Keep a food diary 2 pinpt. foods that cause flare-ups.
3. Keep a healthy wt.

Greek yogurt and bananas is what i have been eating a lot of to help. Reduce spice and caffeine the best you can as those increase stomach acid

Rule #1 is don't stuff yourself. Don't eat or drink until your stomach is full to the max. Don't eat too much greasy foods or sweets.

One or two slices of black bread.

And acid tablets. As many as it takes.

If that doesn't work, try Omeprazole or Dexlansoprazole.
