I am suffering from gastric and chest burn. Could not even sleep at times due to this. I tried for a diet change but not sure which are the alkaline foods that I should include in my regular diet. Please suggest an Indian vegetarian diet to control my gastric acids and prevent gastric mucosa. Thank you.

Dear lybrate user, stick to a vegetarian diet as far as possible. You are suffering from hyper acidity. Our stomach naturally secretes acid which is used to digest the food we eat. But some foods produce acid itself during the process of breakdown of those food materials during digestion. This is the main reason behind hyper acidity. Avoid any fried, spicy items in your breakfast. During sleep at night, our stomach secretes acid. Any fried or spicy breakfast results in the formation of more acid in digestive system. The best breakfast for you will be dosa or idli. Take a vegetarian diet in lunch with rice, roti, sabji & dal. Avoid any types of pickles (achar). Drink a glass of lassi after lunch. Now come to dinner. Go to bed after at least one hour of taking your dinner. Take a vegetarian diet in your dinner, apart from changing your diet, you must pay attention to the following points:- 1) try to drink filtered water. 2) you should eat nothing else other than the food that is cooked in your home. 3) do a little bit of exercise daily. Exercise will increase the speed of digestion.
