Brief Answer:
Limit the variety would be my advise

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The foods you described are much varied. During a single meal our digestive system can respond to about 4 to 5 different types of food, easily. When one overburdens the stomach with such a variety then based upon the food quality, quantity and tolerance to that mix of foods , there can be acidity associated with intake of such combinations. These can be especially pronounced if the combination of foods has been started recently. I would advise you to limit the variety of foods and may increase the quantity of a few food items. For the time being a PPI can be started for a couple of weeks to allay any exacerbated acidity /reflux disease, in consult with your doctor.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
