Avoid Legumes (lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, etc.)
veggies (like broccoli, cauliflower
Fried, spicy, overly sour foods
Cold or stale foods
Drink Ajwain water (carom seeds) – Boil 1 tsp in a cup of water, reduce to half, sip warm after meals.
Cumin-fennel tea – ½ tsp each of cumin and fennel, boil in 2 cups water, reduce to 1 cup, sip through the day.
Warm meals only – Avoid cold salads, raw foods, especially in the evening.
Eat small, warm, frequent meals Avoid lying down right after eating.
Keep dinner light and early (before 7:30 PM)
Note what you eat and when pain occurs. Sometimes it’s not just legumes but food combinations or stress triggering pain.

Hello. No breastfeeding is not cause of acidity but yes irregular meal time, inadequate sleep, disturb sleep, having meal in Rapid way may gives you indigestion which turns in to acidity.
Try ccf tea ( coariader, cumin seeds, FENNEL seeds tea) all in 1/4 tsp in 1 cup of water boil it for 4-5 mins and have it after lunch and dinner even Early morning.
Have Amla regularly.
Avoid wheat flour , tur dal instead have moong dal and jowar, Bajara flour.

Gas pain and acid reflux after having a baby can often be linked to changes in your body and lifestyle. Postpartum, your body's digestive system can be quite sensitive and your agni, or digestive fire, may be disturbed. This is often seen in the form of Vata imbalance, as the air and space elements increase with childbirth, contributing to bloating and discomfort.
Firstly, it's important to listen to your body and the discomfort with specific foods like legumes, since they are known to be difficult to digest, particularly when Vata is out of balance. You might consider avoiding legumes for the time, or try lentils like mung dal which are easier on the digestion. Cook them well with digestive spices such as cumin, ginger, and asafoetida. These can help break down food and reduce gas formation.
Hydration is crucial, but how you drink water matters as well. Sipping warm water throughout the day aids digestion and balances Vata. You may also try drinking fennel or cumin tea, as it calms the stomach and helps with digestion.
Consider incorporating Vata-pacifying foods that are warm, cooked, and nourishing. Soft foods like porridges made from rice or oats can be soothing. Add some ghee to your meals, it is cooling and soothing for Pitta which can be high, resulting in the acid reflux you mentioned.
Pay attention to meal timings. Eating at regular intervals and not skipping meals can help stabilize your digestion. Avoid cold, raw foods and heavy meals in the evening to reduce nighttime discomfort.
Since you're breastfeeding, there might be a nutritional demand for more iron and calcium. Include foods that are rich in these nutrients, such as almonds and sesame seeds, which also promote balanced digestion.
Implementing a few minutes of meditation or deep breathing daily can help ease the mind and digestive system. Also, gentle exercises like walking can stimulate digestion without stressing your body.
Ensure that any ayurvedic recommendations align with advice from your healthcare provider, especially since you're breastfeeding. If your symptoms persist, seeking medical attention to rule out any other health issues would be wise, as well.
