Acidity can be a painful experience. This burning sensation that simply doesn’t go away after a heavy meal can be fixed, though.

And here’s the easy way of getting through painful acid reflux: eating certain foods.

Ginger

 

Universally popular as one of the most popular fixes for this problem, ginger can actually treat a number of gastrointestinal disorders. Use it in moderation.

Salad

 

A great alternative to your usual lunch, which protects you from painful reflux. Just make sure you avoid onions, and don’t add more than a teaspoon of fatty dressing.
