"...two bottles of good red wine for the table [...] her reflux was serious..."

Too much food and drink is bad for you. that's all.

On top of this, certain foods may be worse than others. Through experience I've found out that the following foods seem to increase symptoms related to acid reflux: dairy products, red meat, citric products, chocolate, alcohol, soda drinks and coffee.

In other words, anything that tastes good.

that's just way to general and way too much depending on the objective thing called taste. Next to chocolate/coffee/... I also really like the taste of vegetables like carrots, broccoli, fennel, pumpkins, ... I really doubt they would fall under the category of stuff which is likely to increase reflux.

The only food I've found gives me heartburn is black olives.

Conveniently, I don't really like them.

By the way, I forgot tomato from my ban list :)
