Too Busy for Acidity?
It is truly admirable how you are able to juggle family, work and self-care all at the same time. But when acidity strikes, it can throw you off balance and make you feel less like yourself. Read on to see how you can manage acidity and get back on track.
Take charge of acidity at home
Why acidity can strike at home
There are a number of reasons acidity could strike at home. For example, if your partner is fond of bringing food back for you, it could be the type of food they choose. A spicy dish like phaal curry or a rich chocolate mousse could trigger acidity. To learn more about acidity-causing foods, have a look at this article.
Another reason could be fast-food. We understand that juggling work and family is tiring and the temptation to order in instead of cooking is real. Be careful though – from burgers and fries to vada pavs and bhajjis, fast-foods are usually greasy.
Speed and timing are also factors that could lead to you having acidity at home. ‘Eating on the run’ and rush your food instead of settling down for your meal, and late dinner times due to busy periods at work could also contribute to acidity.
How acidity affects you and your home-life
When acidity strikes, it can affect your home life in many ways. Quality family and bonding time could get cut short when your partner or family members aren’t feeling well. During the night, you might not be able to get a restful night’s sleep. Acidity could also make meal preparation a little more complicated – you might need to make separate meals that are less likely to trigger symptoms for family members who have acidity.

Other Tips To Help Control Acidity
If you or someone in your family has tried some of our tips but are still getting symptoms of an acidity problem, it is probably worth trying an antacid. Antacids work by neutralising the acid in your stomach and they tend to provide relief quickly.
You should see your doctor if an antacid isn’t enough to control your symptoms or if your symptoms worry you. Your doctor may prescribe other medications or do some tests.
