1. Coffee

Caffeine in coffee relaxes the lower oesophageal sphincter, allowing acid to rise up—triggering heartburn and discomfort, especially on an empty stomach.

Fizzy sodas cause bloating and increase stomach pressure, making it easier for acid to escape into the oesophagus. Avoid them completely.
