Consuming tomatoes to release acidity problems is the last thing that you should have resorted to, as tomatoes are known to aggravate acidity issues. I would strongly advise you to get the recommendation of your family doctor or medical practitioner on the diet that you are currently following. Under no circumstances should you initiate or embark upon a diet without the consultation of a medical expert, especially if you are prone to bowel disorders and experiencing any form of ailment. The GM diet is not recommended for people with stomach disorders, and especially in the case of acidity problems eating only one particular type of food can result in further damage. If you are seeking to lose weight through the GM diet, I would strongly advise you to discontinue the diet and get onto a healthy weight loss program only after you have been cleared in a medical examination and strict supervision and guidance of a dietician. However, the need of the hour is to correct the current ailment that you are going through and rectify it. Acidity issues can continue for a very long period of time and one must take extreme caution and care with regards to diets and food. All kinds of sour fruits such as lemons and tomatoes are strictly forbidden for those experiencing acidity problems, and in your case it seems like you have aggravated the issue by consuming only one particular food the entire day.

Opt for a wide range of nutritious foods in limited amounts. Ideally you should include a good deal of fresh green vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free dairy products as well as lean fish, lean meat, skinless poultry and egg whites. In order to control acidity, limit your consumption of fat and sugars. Keep away from high fat meals and foods that cause acid to secrete in the stomach. Always maintain food quantities to as minimum as possible as overeating can make the stomach to secrete increased acids thus aggravating the already inflamed stomach tissues. do not sleep immediately after a meal, try to walk around or maintain an upright position for at least 15 to 20 minutes after eating. also stay away from sour yoghurt, milk based products, cheese, tea, soft drinks, aerated colas, coffee as these food and drink items can tend to inflame the condition further. Completely eliminate alcohol from your diet for at least three to six months. Food items such as apples, bananas, dates, and figs are known to cool the inflamed stomach tissues and are highly recommended as part of your diet to control acidity.
