Sweet potatoes contain a substance called "gasifying enzyme," which can produce a large amount of stomach acid in the human gastrointestinal tract, causing heartburn, nausea, and vomiting of sour water after consumption. How to deal with stomach acid from eating sweet potatoes? Therefore, it is important to master the correct way of eating sweet potatoes:
1. Pair with salty foods, not sweet ones. Eat sweet potatoes with rice or flour and control the portion size, or pair them with salty dishes or soups. Do not eat them with overly sweet foods. Sweet potatoes are already sweet, and eating them with other sweets can double the likelihood of reflux.
2. Try not to eat them on an empty stomach. Eating sweet potatoes on an empty stomach increases the chances of acid reflux and heartburn. This is because sweet potatoes are relatively high in carbohydrates and have a certain sweetness, which increases the possibility of reflux.

3. Eat them cooked, not raw. When preparing, steam or boil the sweet potatoes thoroughly to use the steam to destroy most of the gasifying enzyme.
4. Soak raw sweet potatoes in a solution of a small amount of alkali, alum, or salt water before processing.
