What to Eat in Hyperacidity? - #11238
For the past few months, I’ve been struggling with hyperacidity, and I’m unsure about the right foods to eat. Can someone guide me on what to eat in hyperacidity to reduce symptoms like heartburn, bloating, and a burning sensation in my chest? From what I’ve read, hyperacidity is often linked to a Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda. Does this mean I should focus on cooling foods? I’ve seen recommendations for coconut water, cucumbers, and buttermilk, but are there other foods that help neutralize acidity naturally? I’ve also heard that including herbs like coriander, fennel, and mint in meals can soothe the stomach. How should these be used—added to food, or consumed as teas? Are there any Ayurvedic preparations that specifically target hyperacidity? Another thing I’m curious about is what to eat in hyperacidity during meals. Should I avoid certain staples like rice or wheat, or are these okay in moderation? What about fruits? Are bananas and apples good choices, or should I avoid them? If anyone has managed hyperacidity through diet, I’d love to hear your tips. What foods helped you the most, and how long did it take to notice improvements?
