While some recent research has indicated that the type of foods you eat may not be a primary factor in aggravating your acid reflux, most doctors still feel there are some basic acid reflux foods to avoid. With that in mind, here’s a list of the most common foods to fall onto the list:

Acid foods such as tomatoes and citrus fruits. These include oranges, lemons, grapefruits, tangerines, and cranbereies, as well as juices derived from these fruits.

Some vegetables, such as potatoes (mashed potatoes, french fries), raw onions, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and peppers.

Spices such as red pepper, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic.

Caffeine, primarily coffee, tea, and chocolate.

Dairy (milk, for instance, is highly acidic), including sour cream, ice cream, regular cottage cheese, and milk.

Fried and fatty foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, and most fast foods.

Alcoholic beverages, including liquor and wine.

Not all of these foods will trigger acid reflux. Everyone reacts a little differently. If you’re experiencing regular episodes, however, we recommend that you keep a food diary to track what you eat and which foods appear to trigger reactions.
