HI Kumar
Thanks for posting your query.
I need to know since how long you are having Acidity ? Do you feel burning sensation only in Abdomen or in chest too ? Do you have any vomiting or nausea ?
Acidity is due to hyper secretion of acid in stomach or due to infections in stomach or due to Ulcer in stomach . You require to get certain tests to know what is the cause of your acidity.
I would recommend you to get Upper gastrointestinal Endoscopy test along rapid Urease test ( to check for infection ) and revert back to me .
Till then avoid spicy food , non veg food , citrus fruits , avoid excess of coffee or tea , avoid smoking and alcohol .
Hope this information was useful to you. Any Clarification feel free to ask .
