Exclude tomato and citrus juices from the list of consumed drinks (they have the annoying property), carbonated water (increased acid secretion), alcoholic drinks and coffee. Always drink a glass of water after the meal: thus gastric acid will be diluted with water and washed into the stomach.

Limit the intake of fatty foods, as it remains in the stomach for a long time. It is also not recommended to overeat: a large amount of food in the stomach increases the likelihood of heartburn.

After eating do not take the horizontal position for three or four hours, because it contributes to the movement of stomach acid to the lower alimentary sphincter. If in a given period you will be standing or sitting, the force of gravity will helps the stomach to keep food where it is needed.
