Eating certain trigger foods, such as fatty or fried foods, citrus fruits, chocolate, garlic, onions, spicy foods, tomato-based products, carbonated beverages, and caffeine, can also cause symptoms.

Lifestyle Practices

Lifestyle practices can also trigger acid reflux. These include smoking, alcohol consumption, being overweight or obese, and wearing tight clothing. Stress and anxiety can also trigger symptoms, as can certain medications, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, muscle relaxers, and certain blood pressure medications.

Other Factors

Other factors that can trigger acid reflux include hiatal hernias, pregnancy, and certain medical conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, and peptic ulcers.

Acid reflux is caused when stomach acid is pushed back up into the esophagus. Common triggers of acid reflux include eating large meals, lying down after eating, consuming certain types of food or drinks (such as citrus, spicy, or high-fat foods, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, or carbonated beverages), smoking, and taking certain medications. Stress and anxiety can also be triggers, as can eating too quickly or eating too close to bedtime. Avoiding these triggers and making dietary and lifestyle changes can help reduce symptoms of acid reflux.

Acid reflux is most commonly triggered by eating certain foods and drinks that are high in acidity or fat content, such as citrus fruits, fatty meats, fried foods, spicy dishes, garlic, onions, tomato sauces, carbonated beverages, and alcohol. Eating large meals or lying down right after a meal can also contribute to acid reflux. Stress and anxiety can also increase the risk of acid reflux. To reduce your risk of acid reflux, it is best to avoid these triggers as much as possible, and instead choose to eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. Additionally, try to reduce stress, get regular exercise, and maintain a healthy weight.
