Brief Answer:
Avoid spicy foods

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Diet should be smaller meals rather than larger meals. It is better to stick to same meal times everyday. You need to avoid spicy foods and complex proteins in your diet. Spicy and pickled foods can cause acidity and indigestion of complex protein like in beans, lentils can cause burping. Other foods to be avoided are breads, alcohol, citrus fruits (lemon, orange), soft drinks, tomato based sauces, pepper, chewing gums, chocolates are to be avoided

Milk is considered good in acidity. Fruits and salad are also healing in nature.

Have meal atleast 2 -3 hrs before sleeping. Do not lie down after meals. Bending postures, kneeling, wearing constricting garments are to be avoided.

Hope it answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
