Indian Breakfast Recipes For Acidity Patients

Acidity is a form of indigestion, which gets sensitised by a burning sensation that happens through the overproduction of peptic acids in the stomach. If we don’t regulate the eating intervals, or eat too much spicy food, these stomach produced acids creates trouble in our digestion system or gastroesophageal reflux disease— which leads to heartburn, abdominal pain, chest pain, chest discomfort, belching, bloating, and all those that one can think of as acidity symptoms.

This article is a collection of recipes that are less spicy and help to regulate the production of acids in the stomach. Easy to digest, at the same time they are easy to prepare too. They also stop the likelihood of any Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease occurring.
