A proper acid reflux diet menu helps to get rid or at least to alleviate the effects of GERD.
There are many cures for heartburn; OTC medications, wedge pillows, avoiding pressure on stomach, avoiding eating before bedtime, etc. One of the most effective cures is changing eating habits and choosing stomach friendly GERD diet menu.
You can easily google for basic foods, suitable for patients suffering from GERD. On our home page there is a short list of recommended food as well. The recommended food include;
- apples,
- bananas,
- stalk of celery,
- ginger,
- a little mustard or
- turmeric.
That are the antacids created by nature. A spoon of baking soda dissolved in a glass (8 oz.) of water is also an old cure for heartburn.
But what about complete meals, a whole acid reflux diet menu? If you want to cook by yourself or picking the right meals someone has cooked for you, you need a cookbook.
Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid
The rule of thumb is to avoid heavy foods, fat, spicy, hot, very sweet and so on. It’s impossible to write a complete list of foods to avoid, it’s better to focus on what you are actually allowed to eat. Keep in mind that some foods can be also alleviating your heartburn.

How come you do not have your website viewable in mobile format? Can not see anything in my Droid.
I’ve just added the IPod/Android functionality, I hope it works better now. Rgds – J.

Good thing you are seeing a dotcor. You might have ulcer that requires antibiotics besides anti-acids (anti-histamine as zantac/pepcid or proton-pump inhibitors as Prilosec). That could explain why it is getting worse and not better.Also, you might have problems with the Pyloric sphincter, and acid is leaking into the esophagus, which in many instances might require surgical intervention.Advice, don’t waste your money on some apple scam. Try some extra strength Gaviscon or Maalox that will coat the stomach/esophagus and might help with the discomfort.Avoid acidic foods (pop, tomato), caffiene, and alcohol.
