How to balance acidity in food?

Question

Sometimes after eating, I feel very acidic, and it makes me wonder if certain foods are the problem. Are there ways to balance the acidity in my cooking, especially in Indian dishes, so it doesn't cause problems?

When considering food for acidity, it's best to understand your own triggers. A good hospital visit can help identify specific causes. Ask your doctor or a dietician there for a personalized food chart. Be clear about what foods worsen your symptoms; it helps them guide you better.

Acidity can be so debilitating, making you dread every meal. I remember feeling so frustrated, like nothing was helping. It's a real emotional struggle when even food, which should be enjoyable, causes discomfort. Just know it's okay to feel that way.

Oh, acidity is no fun! 😫 For balancing food, try adding alkaline foods like cucumber, bananas, or a bit of ginger to your diet. Avoid spicy and fried stuff, especially at night! And sips of cold milk or a spoonful of curd can be a quick fix! Feel better soon! 😊

I've been having so much acidity lately, and I'm constantly worried about what I eat. Does anyone else feel like even bland food can trigger it sometimes? Should I totally avoid all spices, even mild ones?

Girish Sharma · Answer

Acidity in food, haan? My stomach these days reacts to everything. I think it's become a food critic! Try the usual – less spice, less oil. Maybe a small bowl of curd with meals helps. Otherwise, just blame it on getting old, that works for me!
