I would suggest also staying away from fats, acids, and spices. I call it the no fun diet and it has led to a lot of improvement in my case. I was also put on omeprazole immediately but I had side...
Thank you for underlining the link between vitamin deficiencies and GERD. I have experienced similar correspondence between how well I am feeling and whether or not I am getting enough B vitamins. It...
Snacking helps me too. We might end up getting back to the idea that every body is different. However the idea of six small meals makes a lot of sense. When I have eaten too much or too many...

Thanks so much for clarifying. I have been on my GERD diet for six months now and have experienced alot of improvement with what goes on in my stomach. I do have continuing issues though with the...
Can some one fill me in--I am kind of ignorant. What exactly is the manometry test?...
Dear Chris, I went through that heart attack routine about three times over before my doctor and I figured out it was GERD-an easy test would be to radically simplify your diet (no fats, spices,...
