The foods you eat may not cause erosive acid reflux disease but they can still make it feel worse. Most people have certain trigger foods that can make their condition act up. The question is, what are yours?

Foods that might trigger acid reflux.

Everyone's triggers are different. But some common trigger foods include

• Citrus products • Alcoholic beverages • Spicy foods • Tomato products • Fatty foods

• Chocolate • Coffee • Heavily seasoned foods • Fried foods • Peppermint

One way to help identify your own triggers is to keep a simple journal of what you eat—and how you feel afterwards.

Daily Trigger Journal.

Keeping track of your diet may help identify which foods trigger your acid reflux. The downloadable journal pages here can help you get started. In just a few weeks, you may see a pattern and be able to identify which foods you should limit or avoid.
