GERD - Gastroesophageal reflux disease

As a mature female, I may occasionally post articles on aging and health.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gerd/symptoms-causes/syc-20361940

The list below is incomplete but is meant to highlight foods that aggravate GERD and those that are relatively safe to eat.

I, now, adapt some recipes to make them GERD-Friendly.


  Recommended Foods to Avoid and Those that are Safe to Eat.

NO

Coffee
Caffeinated Tea
Sodas
Carbonated Water

Beer

Vinegar


Citrus Juices like OJ

Spicy foods

Not on list

Special Note:

While I will be labeling some recipes as #GERD-Friendly, they may contain items from the "NO" list because if a person can reduce their acid production substantially then they may try to use some of the forbidden items sparingly. But, if any food item increases acid production, do not use them.
