Bro, acidity during fasting is the worst! I usually just drink lots of water throughout the day, like little sips. And before breaking fast, I eat something really light, like a banana or some soaked almonds. Helps a lot, seriously.

Oh, acidity during fasting is my nemesis! My trick is to avoid anything spicy or too oily before I start the fast. And seriously, don't just gulp water; sip it slowly. Also, try not to lie down immediately after your last meal. Exhausting, but helps!

Hey, for acidity during fasting, don't stress too much, but be smart! Try eating a small, bland meal with some curd or milk before starting your fast. And when breaking it, don't go for spicy or fried stuff right away. Soft foods first, okay?

My friends and I do intermittent fasting sometimes, and acidity is a real issue. We usually drink black coffee or green tea during the fasting window, but some people say that makes it worse. So mostly just water. And definitely no fizzy drinks during fast!

From my own experience, drinking warm water with a little bit of ajwain (carom seeds) before and after the fasting window can help with acidity. Also, try to keep your last meal before fast light and not too spicy. This generally helps my system.

Acidity can be a concern during fasting, especially for those prone to it. It's advisable to avoid very acidic or spicy foods before the fast. If the acidity is severe or persistent, it's always safest to consult a doctor, as self-medication might not address underlying issues.

To prevent acidity during fasting, focus on a balanced last meal before the fast, avoiding spicy, oily, or highly acidic foods. Hydration is also crucial. If you regularly experience severe acidity or discomfort, it's best to consult a gastroenterologist or a doctor for personalized advice, as it could indicate an underlying condition.
