14. Butter
As we have mentioned above, foods high in fat can lead to heartburn. Therefore, we would suggest staying away from butter, especially when cooking. Instead use a non-stick pan or cooking spray. Moreover, we all know that veggies taste a heck of a lot better smothered in butter, but try adding some herbs or spices to shake things up instead.
15. Candy
Like chocolate, candy can also increase the likelihood of heartburn due to high levels of sugar and often added vitamin C, which can lead to high levels of acidity. Instead, try eating candies made with natural fruit sugars and see if they have an effect on your experience of heartburn.
