GERD Diet & The Foods That You Can Make You Feel Yucky

I think we've all heard the obvious ones, like alcohol, citrus foods and juices, fried, fatty, greasy foods, spicy foods, chocolates and coffee, tomato products and peppermint.  There are some others that I wasn't aware of (in some cases) and thought I'd add them here, in case you've never come across these either...

Whole milk, chocolate milk, sodas, mint tea...or how about   sweet rolls and doughnuts?  Pies, cookies, cakes, ice cream?

Gravies, heavy cream, meat drippings and butter?  Potato Chips, pasta with cream sauces, cream soups, cream style veggies?

I guess when I look them over now, it makes sense that these could aggravate the symptoms of GERD as well!

I hope this helps someone - Hugs, Teri http://healthology.healingwell.com/webcast_transcript.asp?f=heartburn&c=gi_myths

Hello,

I am not allowed to promote my new book or mention my web site, but I think it's alright to mention that I have found and documented evidence that excess that it it the consumption of excess carbohydrates is the root cause of GERD and by reducing your carbohydrate consumption you can completely eliminate acid reflux. This is the only dietary approach that I am aware of, that really works and it only takes a couple of days. Has anyone tried this and, if so, have you had any luck?

Have you noticed that many of the trigger foods you mention contain carbohydrates. coffee (most add sugar), alcohol (often with sweet mixers or carbs in beer, wine or the alcohol itself is not a trigger). fried food is often breaded, milk (lactose), etc.

The answer is under our noses. Give a try to significantly lowering your carbs. It really works. Just try it for two days. I would be interested in your experience with this approach.

Thanks,

Dr. Norm
