15 Home Remedies for Heartburn

7. Pineapple

While pineapple is known for being an acidic fruit, some people find that it helps digestive issues like acid reflux and heartburn. One reason for this is that it is a fiber-rich fruit that aids in digestion. Beyond this, the bromelain that gives pineapple its acidic properties could limit inflammation in the stomach. Eating pineapple raw may be too much for people actively experiencing heartburn, but chopping it and mixing it with other fruits or utilizing it in full dishes makes it far more palatable. And, despite the beneficial effects, some individuals do note that pineapple actually triggers their acid reflux rather than fighting it. Starting with small amounts is the best way to safely confirm its effects.
