Salhab also pointed to foods like almonds, broccoli, and kale as low-acid choices.
It is worth noting that stomach acidity may cause esophageal reflux, which occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows into the esophagus, which connects the mouth and stomach. Signs of acid reflux include discomfort and regurgitation of sour food or liquids, along with abdominal pain and a burning sensation in the chest, difficulty swallowing, or a feeling of a lump in the throat.
Doctors usually do not recommend taking acidity medications for a long time to prevent any damage and complications to the stomach over time.
