GERD - Gastroesophageal reflux disease

As a mature female, I may occasionally post articles on aging and health.

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

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.
