Sure, you might expect to get indigestion from that pepper Panini or garlic grinder...
...but there are some other less obvious triggers for heartburn and indigestion:
• Smoking – it weakens the valve between the esophagus and stomach.
• Pills – taking ibuprofen regularly can trigger heartburn. The same goes for some prescription drugs including antibiotics.
• Fish oil – it’s good for you, but can have gastrointestinal side effects.
• Stress – it doesn’t necessarily cause heartburn – but stressed out people are more sensitive to the symptoms.
• Peppermint – it can calm an upset stomach – but aggravate heartburn in people with GERD.
