Personalised food and meal-timing support with Karishma Saxena, Dietitian & Nutritionist, for recurring acidity and reflux.
Festive meals coming up? Plan for the dinners, mithai and late evenings.
Burning behind the breastbone, or sour fluid coming back up, after particular meals or dishes.
Symptoms that arrive at night, after a late or large dinner, and disturb sleep.
The list of foods to avoid is long, the family eats together, and you are not sure what is causing the trouble.
“Acidity” can mean reflux, GERD (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease), indigestion, or gas and bloating. Each calls for a different response, so working out which you have comes first.
The consultation covers four practical areas.
When you eat, the gap between dinner and bed, and which meals your symptoms follow.
Meal sizes, tea, coffee and other drinks, and the foods you have noticed trouble with.
Work hours, what the household cooks, late dinners, and prescriptions timed around meals.
The changes to start with, when to review, and what would prompt a medical assessment.
A diet consultation does not diagnose GERD or rule out other conditions. When the pattern points to something a doctor should assess, we say so and help you arrange it.
The clinic team calls you to explain the consultation and the available appointments. Nothing is booked until you confirm.
Real calendars have late family dinners, party menus and days of fasting. The plan takes them into account.
What to eat earlier, which dishes to have in full, and what to do before bed.
Choosing between dishes, how much of the fried course, and where the mithai fits.
How many cups, when, and what goes with them.
How to break the fast, and how to size and pace the evening meal.
A person in their forties takes a medicine their doctor prescribed for reflux. Symptoms are better, but the dietary advice is hard to keep when family dinners start after nine.
The medicine stays as prescribed. The review looks at the person’s experience; it does not promise a result.

Karishma plans meals around what a household actually eats: the size and timing of meals, the drinks, and the evening routine. She does not diagnose reflux disease and does not prescribe medicines.
If a symptom needs a doctor, the clinic arranges that as a separate appointment.
A member of the office team calls the number you gave, 9 am to 8 pm, except Wednesdays. They explain the consultation and the available appointments, and answer your questions. A callback request is an enquiry: nothing is booked until you confirm, and the call is not a medical consultation.
A dietitian appointment with Karishma Saxena. It looks at your meals, routine and symptom pattern. It is not a doctor’s consultation and does not replace one. If your symptoms need a doctor, the team arranges that as a separate step.
Yes. Many people come with a GERD diagnosis and a medicine their doctor has prescribed. Bring the prescription. The plan works around it, and any change to the medicine stays with the doctor who prescribed it.
No. Triggers differ from person to person, and meal size and timing often matter more than any single food.
Any prescriptions you take, reports of tests you have had (such as an endoscopy or blood tests), and a rough note of what you ate and how you felt over the past few days. If you have nothing written down, that is fine.
A follow-up reviews what was hard to apply and adjusts the plan. If symptoms persist or get worse, the team arranges a medical assessment rather than tightening the diet further.
Leave your name and mobile number and our office team will call you. Nothing is booked until you confirm.

Between the food pipe and the stomach is a ring of muscle that works as a one-way valve. Reflux happens when stomach contents pass back up through it. Acid touching the lining of the food pipe causes the burning called heartburn; sometimes fluid rises far enough to leave a sour taste, cause burping, or provoke a cough or throat-clearing, especially at night.
Occasional reflux after a heavy meal is very common. When symptoms are frequent or troublesome, a doctor may diagnose gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). That diagnosis is made by a doctor, sometimes with tests; it is not something a questionnaire or a diet consultation establishes, and recurring “acidity” does not automatically mean GERD.
These measures reduce symptoms for many people. They do not guarantee that reflux never returns, and they are not a reason to stop a treatment your doctor has prescribed.
Antacids can help occasional symptoms. Acid-suppressing medicines are prescribed by a doctor for persistent symptoms and are reviewed by the doctor, including any change in dose. Needing over-the-counter remedies most days is a reason to see a doctor, not a reason to keep buying them.
