Dear Khushi, Thank you for the question

Acidity, Bloating, heart burn, Gastritis, Abdominal discomfort can be a symptom of gastrointestinal digestive issues such as indigestion, constipation, IBS, intolerances etc., and/or due to an underlying health condition which may require medical attention.

Certain food intolerances can cause bloating and stomach pain after consuming specific foods. In lactose intolerance it is seen after consuming milk and milk products like cheese, paneer etc. And in gluten intolerance it is seen after consuming, wheat, rye, barley etc. For further diagnosis and assistance kindly contact your specialized health care professional.

Here are a few tips to help manage acidity

Do not skip your meals, have small frequent meals at regular intervals.
Avoid large, heavy meals,
Food should be eaten slowly and chewed well as fast eating provokes gastric feeding reflex.
Avoid lying down immediately after your meal consumption
Have a gap of minimum 2-3 hours between bedtime and your last meal
Try to limit the foods like caffeine, spices, raw onions etc.

Some of the guidelines to be considered general digestive health are as follows:

Eat a well-balanced diet including minimum 5 serving of vegetables and 1 serving of fruit in a day as they are good sources of fiber and essential nutrients such as vitamin A, Vitamin B, iron, zinc etc.
Include prebiotics such as banana, soyabean, garlic etc., good sources of probiotics like yogurt, buttermilk etc., to maintain a healthy gut.
Practice portion guidance.
Try to include whole grains like wheat, multigrain and millets in your daily diet as they are a good source of fiber and other nutrients.

Engage in physical activity for a minimum of 30-45 minutes for at least 5 days a week.
