Heartburn/Acid Reflux

[haze5736]

I have a friend that is trying a transition to whole food plant based. It's been at least a couple of weeks into the transition and last night a severe case of heartburn hit. This person has not had issues with heartburn in the past and was shocked because going plant based tends to clear up heartburn issues. Has anyone heard of a person getting heartburn while trying to transition? I know I'm not providing many details but just looking for anything in general terms at this point.

I have had heartburn when I’ve been eating LARGE quantities of salsa, which is delicious on just about everything. It’s not something I usually have to deal with. So, yes, it can happen.

I appreciate the reply. My friend is going to track food intake to see if a pattern emerges. I'm hoping we can figure it out. I would hate for this to be a reason to revert back to the old pattern of eating.

How much food, how heavy was it, and how close to bedtime? I ask because if I eat too much late, I regret it.
