diet

For me, I have less reflux if I eat meat proteins as the last thing.  Too much sugary stuff later in the day will cause it to really flare up.

Although, prilosec and antacids handle it pretty well.

2 yrs ago I was able to get off Prilosec. I changed my diet and gave up the following:
-coffee (I loved coffee)---this was my biggest trigger too, darn it.
-carbonated drinks
- tomato sauce
-citrus juices

I can't remember anything else right now but I'll post later if I think of anything more.

I also didn't eat at least 1 hour before dinner.

Oops...in my previous post I meant to say I don't eat 1 hour before bedtime! Sorry!

To avoid reflux I eat:

- raw vegetables (i.e carrots, celery w/ peanut butter)
- potatoes/sweet potatoes
- most vegetables apart from onions & tomato
- wholegrain bread
- lean meats in small quantity (i.e. ham sandwich)
- non-acidic fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, prunes
- good quality yoghurt (low fat)

Follow the above and you'll be feeling good.


Things that flare up my reflux:
- raw tomato & onion
- anything containing caffeine
- carbonated beverages
- citric fruits
- beer (wine seems to be ok in small amounts)
- big servings of meat
