What you eat is not the only factor in triggering heartburn, but also how you eat makes a big difference. You should eat small meals. This reduces the pressure inside of your stomach and lowers the chance of reflux. Slow down your pace of eating; this allows your stomach to produce acid slowly rather than in a sudden surge. Don’t lie down immediately after eating, wait at least two hours.
