Tight clothing can squeeze the stomach and force acid up into the esophagus, triggering or worsening acid reflux pain. Replace outfits, undergarments, and accessories that fit snugly with a larger size until symptoms are under control. Loose-fitting or stretchy clothing can provide comfort and style without intensifying heartburn symptoms. Avoid fastening your belt too tightly. Bras, shapewear, and exercise garments should be in a size that does not constrict. Properly fitting clothes can encourage proper digestion and ease the movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract.
