Changing your diet and eating habits may help, too. Hereâs what you can do: Avoid GERD and Acid Reflux: Make these changes. Eat several small meals instead of fewer larger ones. Wait 2-3 hours after you eat to lie down. Donât eat late-night snacks! Donât smoke or chew tobacco. Avoid these foods. Avoid chocolate, mint, and alcohol. They make GERD worse because they relax the esophageal sphincter.
These include: mint and anything containing mint oil, chocolate, deep-fried foods, coffee, and alcohol. Some of these foods, like chocolate and mint, chemically cause the lower esophageal sphincter to loosen, triggering acid reflux. Others that are greasy or high in saturated fat slow digestion, which can spell heartburn. Most likely to spur an acid reflux attack? Deep-fried foods, since they're extremely hard to digest.
