Hello! I was diagnosed with GERD about 5 years ago. I am currently on 40mg of nexium and motilium (domperidone) 30mg daily. These medications help tremendously, but I know both have side effects if they are taken long term. I am only 29 so I would like to get off of these meds (or lessen them) and try to control the symptoms with my diet. I recently bought an adjustable bed so I can sleep on an angle without that annoying wedge pillow.

Does anyone have a great GERD diet to share? Meals or recipes that work great for them? I am willing to try anything! I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks a bunch

Amanda

Fast Tract diet by Robillard enabled me to get off meds more than a year ago. Some days I take a TUMS for minor heartburn, some days not. It is a low carb diet, book available at Amazon. I eat pretty normally now, even pizza. I stayed on the Fast Tract diet a couple of months, then gradually increased carbs, especially ice cream.
