High-Fat Foods
High-fat foods, including harmful and healthy products like nuts and avocados, would lead to acid reflux. Consuming these foods can stimulate the production of CCK or cholecystokinin. This hormone would relax your lower esophageal sphincter and allow stomach acid to escape. Also, CCK can make foods and drinks remain in your digestive tract longer for better digestion. However, this can be a major risk factor for acid reflux. That is why you should limit the consumption of high-fat products, including takeout and fried foods as well. [2]
