2. Tomatoes
When you think of acidic foods and when you think of the first thing that triggers heartburn, then what is the first food that comes to your mind? The first thing that most people think of is tomatoes – and again, you would be right in saying that you should be avoiding tomatoes if acid reflux is a frequent problem. Tomatoes are very acidic – in fact, they’re about as acidic as citrus which we’ve already mentioned, so you’ll want to cut them out of your diet entirely.
This effect of tomatoes is increased when the tomatoes are raw, so you might want to make sure that all of the food you eat doesn’t contain raw, acidic tomatoes – and this includes something simple like salad. Cut anything acidic out of your diet and minimize attacks of reflux – this includes things like tomatoes too. And this includes everything that has tomatoes as an ingredient.
