Holiday Heatburn

With the holidays come parties, drinking, plenty of food and in some case heartburn. 
How to avoid holiday heartburn

Trigger Foods
If you have regular bouts of heartburn, it's important to talk about your symptoms and eating habits with a healthcare provider. Common reflux "trigger" foods include:

-- Tomato-based foods, such as spaghetti sauce, salsa, chili, and pizza
-- Citrus fruits
-- Chocolate
-- Drinks with caffeine or alcohol
-- Fatty and fried foods
-- Garlic and onions
-- Mint flavorings
-- Spicy foods
