      First, don’t eat on an empty stomach

      If you eat sweet potatoes on an empty stomach, you are more likely to suffer from acid reflux and heartburn, because sweet potatoes themselves contain relatively high carbohydrates and have a certain sweetness, which increases the possibility of reflux.

      Second, don’t eat sweet potatoes with anything that is too sweet.

      Sweet potatoes themselves are sweet. If you eat them with sweets at this time, the possibility of reflux will double. Therefore, try not to eat sweet potatoes with anything that is too sweet.

      Third, don’t eat too much

      It is best not to exceed three taels a day. And if you have acid reflux, you can eat three liang separately.
