I was wondering if any of you have had good or bad experience with these drinks and GERD? I'm thinking of using them to supplement my diet (Boost mostly because ensure has 11 grams of fat per serving, Boost only has 6), but I wanted to see how GRED-friendly they are.

Any ideas?

I used that because I was also and still am underweight. It's full of sugar *can trigger GERD)and I don't like how they taste. Anyway, you cold try going to WHole FOods Market and getting their soy protein drinks. That should help you gain weight. I tried it. Make sure to get the regular and not non-fat.

Sugar is bad too? darn!

But I thought fat was a bad thing for reflux...

I drink them and I do not seem to have a problem.. I drink the chocolate boost and I like it.. I do take nexium for my gerd.

What's the brand name on that? I went there and they have so much stuff I wasn't sure what to get...

I don't know the brand name...I forgot. Any one of them will be fine I think. I remember the container was blue, like a circular container.

I just bought Ensure and Boost because I have GERD as well.  But since someone posted it has too much sugar, I'm at a loss of what to do now too...

Ya unfortunately boost ended up giving me HORRIBLE heartburn in the long run...

Wow! I guess I'll just give all the boost/ensure I bought to my father...I have no idea why my lump in the throat won't go away (I am not an anxious person but my GERD symptoms give me anxiety, that's for sure!)...I"m wondering if drinking milk or eating cheese is making my reflux worse...
