Hot take: It's not the Indian food, it's your tolerance levels. Start with mild dishes and see how your tummy feels.
As someone who loves Indian food, I can confirm it sometimes gives me heartburn. I avoid dishes with too much chili powder and acidic ingredients.
For sure, the spices and rich gravies in Indian food can trigger heartburn. Drink a soothing lassi to help balance things out!
