Research shows that diets high in fiber can significantly lower pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, leading to fewer instances of reflux and a decrease in heartburn frequency. There are high-fiber options in nearly every food group; try bananas, turnips, carrots, potatoes, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, brown rice, lentils, and black beans.
