Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain heartburn on eating certain foods might be due to GASTRO-ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE commonly known as Acid Reflux in which acid from stomach refluxes back into throat leading to inflammation in the lining of the food pipe leading to Heart burn..
You should consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and an Upper G. I Endoscopy can help in confirming the cause and treatment can be planned accordingly..
He can advise you Proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole, antacid, H2 blockers, light diet, mild exercises, drink plenty of water and sleep with head raised as compared to feet.
Avoiding spicy and acidic foods and taking plenty of Probiotics like Yoghurt can help..
..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
