A balanced diet, centred round whole grains and fresh fruit and vegetables is essential for controlling acid indigestion. whole grains should make up 20 – 30 percent of the diet along with protein, either of animal origin or plant-based foods, such as tofu, tempeh and beans. as they are high in carbohydrates, beans should be eaten in smaller quantities. Fresh seasonal vegetables should make up around 30 to 40 percent of the diet. other foods, including dairy, eggs and fruit should be consumed in moderation, along with ‘good’ fats and oils. fat is essential in the diet and assists the absorption of vitamins a, D, E, and K. fat should be consumed in moderation and consist of quality sources such as olive oil, sesame oil, or clarified butter.
