Foods which actually HELP with GERD. Participation needed!!

Hey guys,

I just wanted to know if everyone could list a food you've found which actually alleviates the symptoms of GERD immediately after consumption. Maybe just list ONE (the most effective) to keep it simple.

For me it is APPLES (in particular red delicious, although probably most types work).

I hope enough people reply to get a substantial list, so new members or guests can benefit. And if more than 20 different (but genuine) answers are generated I'll compile the list in a new post.

Cheers

Wait a minute. You're kidding, right? Coffee HELPING GERD? Not for me. Even decaf was a definite trigger before my Nissen.

Egg custard is my favorite stomach soothing treat. I can eat egg custard in the midst of a full-blown gastritis attack, when nothing else is tolerated.

 I cannot give up my coffee though ! I love yogurt too Kitt ! What exactly is egg custard ?

I would love to try it ! I think that if I eat smaller meals of about anything I am fine , but overeat and no way ...I am miserable and in pain. I do fine that chocolate can make my gerd flair almost immediately...bummer there !

  

Egg custard is made with eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla...and is baked in the oven in a "water bath". You can find tons of recipes on the internet.

Triggers like caffeine, mint, chocolate...should always be avoided.
These treats are not worth the agony!

Was a sufferer of GERD for a long time ... I finally found an all natural remedy which I found at my local health food store. It's a whole-food supplement called remacid. Works great ... AND, am off the acid reducer's completely!!!!!

Unfortunately, I don't do dairy ... But I do believe probiotics are essential. I get mine by sipping on hearty, three year fermented "miso".

Do you eat organic apples? This may seem weird, but sometimes I will eat an organic apple including the core and seeds but, remove the stem.

The owner of the health food store that recommended remacid to me stated that the product works the same way apple cider vinegar does (only is eight times more effective and certainly more convenient.
