Limit heartburn causing foods. Acidic, fried and fatty foods that are among the most popular items served at football parties can trigger heartburn. Alcoholic, caffeinated and carbonated beverages can also cause indigestion. Substitute favorite foods with healthier versions. Instead of Buffalo wings, try ginger chicken satay with peanut sauce, which has 50% less calories and four times less fat. For other party favorites like artichoke and spinach dip, substitute ingredients like mayonnaise with reduced fat cream cheese and low fat mozzarella.  Slow down. Eating too fast can also trigger heartburn, so take your time and pace yourself.Don't overdo it. Just because it's the biggest game of the year does not give you license to overindulge. Savor a few bites of your favorite game time snacks instead of downing the whole buffet.Be prepared. Have TUMS on hand in case heartburn strikes. As the number one antacid America relies on, TUMS is the first line of defense against heartburn, providing fast relief with the added benefit of calcium. Nothing is faster for heartburn relief.
