7. Sausages and processed meats
Sausages, chorizo and cured ham contain preservatives, saturated fats and high sodium content, which irritate the stomach.
8. Hot peppers and chili peppers
Chili and other spicy condiments stimulate the production of gastric acid and can worsen symptoms.
9. Soft drinks and carbonated drinks
The bubbles create pressure in the stomach, which can push the contents into the esophagus. In addition, many contain caffeine and sugar.
10. Raw onion and garlic in excess
Both of these ingredients can cause bloating and aggravate reflux when consumed in large amounts or on an empty stomach.
11. White bread and refined flours
These foods can cause fermentation and produce gas that increases bloating.
12. Industrial sweets and very sugary desserts
Processed products loaded with sugar and fat disrupt digestion and can lead to inflammation and heartburn.
