I have a heart arrhythmia called supraventricular tachycardia. If I stay on the GERD diet (read the book Dropping Acid) the arrhythmia very seldom kicks in. I can tell you that if I exercise after...
Thank you. I've been afraid of pineapple, too. I've been using bananas and berries in my smoothies. Doesn't seem to bother the GERD but just about everything makes my stomach burn....
