Eat simple, bland foods such as white rice, bananas, dry toast, apples or light crackers. If you can’t bring yourself to eat more than a bite or two, just continue to nibble here and there throughout the day. This will ensure you always have something in your stomach, which will help keep stomach acid to a minimum.
