If you feel a burning pain in your chest after eating, it could be heartburn, which can be controlled with diet changes and over-the-counter medications.. If symptoms are rare, there is no need to worry as it is enough to avoid foods that can cause heartburn, such as spicy foods, chocolate, coffee or fatty foods..

What foods cause heartburn and what you should avoid to get rid of discomfort after eating? This was featured in Eat This, Not That.

Spicy Foods If you like spicy foods, be aware that capsaicin can irritate the esophagus and trap food in the stomach, which can worsen heartburn.. Instead of spicy seasonings, use milder, more natural ones such as salt, rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil or ginger..

Fried food  Food that is usually consumed in large groups is not the best option for health as it can affect your well-being. Fatty and fried foods can irritate the esophagus and weaken the defense mechanism against stomach acid.. For best results, choose lower fat cooking methods such as grilling, baking or steaming.

Citrus fruits  Citrus fruits, like oranges and lemons, are rich in vitamin C, but can irritate the stomach due to their high concentration of citric acid, which increases stomach acid production. If you want to avoid such problems, choose less aggressive fruits like apples, bananas and berries, which are also rich in nutrients without causing irritation..

Coffee  Coffee can boost energy and focus, but it can also cause acidity and promote reflux..

If you experience heartburn, try gradually reducing your heartburn intake and choosing drinks with less caffeine, such as decaf coffee or herbal teas..

Kombucha  Kombucha may be beneficial for the gut, but due to its acidity and natural carbonation, it may worsen symptoms related to gastrointestinal (GI) health by increasing stomach secretions. If this is a problem, it's best to get beneficial bacteria from other fermented foods, such as Greek yogurt, kimchi, or kefir.
