I have many favorite recipes from my childhood, and some I came across as an adult. After being diagnosed with GERD more than 20 years ago, I feared I would have to give up those dishes. Over the years, however, I found ways of adapting recipes so that I could still eat those old favorites. It is often just a matter of substituting a reflux-producing ingredient with one that I knew was safe for me to eat.
The following categories of recipes have been adapted so that they are heartburn-friendly for most people. Try them out! You can also share your own favorite recipes.

Pork Recipes
Pork is often called "the other white meat" and is often as lean as chicken. Pork tenderloin is especially lean. The recipes here are heartburn friendly, because fat is sometimes a heartburn trigger. Leaner meats and low-fat ingredients cut down on fat content.
