Hello! I'm Dr. Miguel Rodriguez. I'm a gastroenterologist at Miami Gastroenterology Consultance in Miami, Florida. The most common causes of acid indigestion is what we eat. If we have spicy foods, we expect to have some symptoms of acid indigestion. The consumption of alcohol, it's spirits such as red wine, rum and whiskey can also promote that.
