Yes there are certain foods that you should stay away from that can trigger acid indigestion.
Also there are certain foods that you should include in your diet that can assist digestion and keep excess acid under control and keep your overall stomach health free from disease, due to diet.
Here are some ideas:
Chewing fennel seeds after meals helps to facilitate digestion and to helps to keep bad breath in check. Some of the components of the essential oils in fennel are stimulants and encourage secretion of digestive and gastric juices, reduce inflammation of stomach and intestines and facilitates proper absorption of nutrients from the food. It also has anti-acidic or basic properties and is used in antacid preparations. I love the taste of Fennel, especially in Biscotti's and sausage
Digestive Aid:
Fennel is also used as an anti-flatulent and a digestive aid, due to the carminative properties of Aspartic acid found in fennel. It can cure flatulence and helps to expel gases from the stomach. Fennel seeds, when used in the powdered form, can be used as a laxative. The roughage helps clear out the bowels whereas the stimulating effect helps maintain the proper spasms of the smooth muscles. The Anetol and Cineole found in Fennel help cure diarrhea. Some amino acids such as Histidine aid digestion and proper functioning of the digestive system.
