How to neutralize acidity in food?

I used to get so much anxiety eating anything because the acidity and chest burning were so painful. I felt so helpless and isolated during family dinners. Please know you are not alone in this, and finding ways to make your food milder really helps.

Adding a little bit of grated coconut or a spoonful of ghee can cut down the acidic nature of spicy curries. Eating a piece of jaggery after food also helps digestion, but if you have constant burning pain in your chest, please see a doctor immediately.

Does anyone else get a heavy, bloated feeling and mild throat burn even after eating simple home-cooked dal? I try to avoid red chili completely but it still happens sometimes. I am always worried about what to eat next.

Adding a little cream or cashew paste to tomato-based dishes works wonders to reduce acidity. It makes the food much easier on the stomach.

Spicy food khane ka man toh sabka karta hai, haan? Just add a little milk or cream to the gravy, it balances the acidic taste beautifully and won't hurt your stomach, na. But if the acidity is constant, then definitely go see a doctor.

My daughter used to get bad stomach aches after eating pasta or spicy curry. I started adding a touch of sugar or cream to balance the acidic tomato sauces, and made sure she drank plenty of water. It really helped her sensitive stomach.

The simplest solution is to avoid over-cooking onions and tomatoes together, and instead use curd or milk in your gravy to neutralize the acid. Drinking a glass of cold milk or buttermilk after your meal also works like magic to prevent any burning sensation.

I used to spend thousands on antacids and doctor visits every month for my stomach issues. Now I just plan my meals carefully, use less oil, and buy simple ingredients like curd and bananas in bulk, which is much cheaper and highly effective for soothing my stomach.

At my age, even looking at a spicy samosa gives me acidity! I have started adding a bit of baking soda to my curries, which works well, but honestly, my best friend these days is just a simple bowl of plain dahi. Keep your meals simple if your stomach is complaining.
