Both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee might cause heartburn by encouraging acid production. Other caffeinated drinks, citrus fruit juices, tomato juice and carbonated beverages might trigger your heartburn. Citrus fruit juices include orange, grapefruit, lemon and pineapple.

Mild ginger tea in limited amounts may ease the gas that contributes to heartburn. For dessert, sour candy may do more than just satisfy a sweet tooth.
