In addition to avoiding foods that you don't tolerate well, the American Academy of Family Physicians says you can also help prevent indigestion by:

  • Limiting greasy, high-fat foods.
  • Limiting consumption of chocolate.
  • Eating slowly without rushing.
  • Not smoking.
  • Managing stress and relaxing.
  • Resting at least an hour after a meal before starting strenuous activity or exercise.
