There are some lifestyle modifications that can help with acid reflex such as weight loss, avoiding caffeine, smoking, alcohol, chocolate, and elevating the head of bed. There are numerous medications as well such as PPI (lansoprazole, pantoprazole, etc.) if you have frequent heart burn more than twice a week. If you have alarming features such as trouble swallowing or vomiting or weight loss or if you had symptoms for over 10 years, should be checked with an upper endoscopy.
Yes, it's okay to eat those fruits and others. Won't affect the heartburn significantly.
Citrus fruits like pineapple would worsen your symptoms simply by adding more acid into your stomach.
Watermelon and other melons aren’t citrus fruits.
