Recovery since yesterday

Yesterday I was having trouble swallowing and breathing because of burping stuck in my throat and extreme gas. This was constant this week, and it has been going on for several months but not as severe. I was really stressed. I did a search and a post from this site came up, along with info on GERD.

I took it to heart. I'm much better this evening but I had to be very, very strict with myself. Here's what I did: (I also started the exercise, flat on floor, lift up to see feet, hold for 1 minute)


Day 1
No seasoning other than a little apple cider vinegar.
Nothing sauteed or fried.

Avocadoes are the only fat today, eaten cool, not warmed.

Cook 2 medium, organic red potatoes in water and save the water to sip throughout the day.

Ginger tea is also good to sip.

All food is cooked in water or eaten raw.

Eat 1/2 to 1/3 of what you normally eat.

Eat slowly and enjoy your food.

Note: 1 can organic beans will last for 3 meals.
I cooked enough brussel sprouts (16) and red potatoes (2) for two meals.

1st meal
1/2 cup organic mashed red potatoes (no seasoning, butter, or oil)
8 small frozen brussel sprouts, cooked in skillet with water
1/3 can organic dark red kidney beans, rinse thoroughly if canned

1. Heat above food in a bowl or plate in the microwave until warm.
2. Top with 1/3 avocado mashed, not heated.
3. Pour about 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar on top as seasoning.

Sip on potato water with a little apple cider vinegar added during the meal and between meals.

Wait at least 2 hours before the next small meal.

2nd meal
small baked sweet potato
1/3 can organic dark red kidney beans (thoroughly rinse and heat)
8 small brussel sprouts, cooked
1/3 avocado mashed, not heated
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Sip on ginger tea between meals and/or potato water with acv.

After the 2nd meal, my body is comfortable. I'm feeling like a person again.

3rd meal
1 small organic carrot, raw
organic dark red kidney beans (remainder of can, rinse and heat)
1/2 c. mashed potatoes
1/3 avocado mashed on top, not heated

No more food today. That's all.
Still feeling good. This is heaven compared to what I've been going through.

Gerdy, glad you're doing well. You could also take a chewable antacid without needing to go to PPI's if after you make dietary modifications and exercise you feel a mild return of symptoms.
