My do has just been to doctors after suffering with heartburn, bad tastes in mouth, stomach pains etc for the past year. He has been told to cut out certain things for 3 months before going back to doc again. Anyone here have experience of it and any advice would be great, thanks.x

For acid reflux my advice would be firstly to stop smoking & reduce alcohol.
Foods that exacerbate acid reflux can be fairly variable between individuals. Commonly tomatoes, citrus fruits, spicy foods can provoke symptoms.
Losing a bit of weight can help if overweight & ensuring you're not wearing tight or restrictive clothes or belts.
The other steps would be a breath test for H. pylori and probably a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) taken as needed.

Tomatos not tomatoes

Oh, and raise the head of the bed & avoid eating large meals.
And reduce caffeine.
