7.Avoid After-Dinner Mints
A peppermint after dinner may sound soothing. But many people get heartburn after eating mints. Research suggests that mint may relax the valve at the top of the stomach, making stomach acid more likely to flow into the esophagus.
8.Keep a Food Diary
Jot down what you eat and drink, and look for clues about what triggers your heartburn. Try to avoid those foods for a few days. Later, add them back one at a time, so you can see if they cause trouble.
