3. Don't Do Dairy

Historically, people with acid reflux or gastritis were advised to drink milk for its soothing effect on the stomach lining.

While it might provide a few minutes of temporary relief, milk and other dairy products actually contain high levels of protein and calcium that force the stomach to increase acid production, ultimately making your symptoms worse.

Opt for non-dairy alternatives wherever you can.
