heartburn
- since I had my gall bladder removed, I have not be able to drink pop again, fried foods, seem to bother me, I find eating slowly prevents flare ups, today I only ate potatoes, and it started.. I came on here to see what food are safe, and noticed many cause it, but get tired of living on saltine crackers.

GERD
- I have been suffering with Gerd for quite a few years. It comes and goes in waves. Just recently it hit me so hard after drinking some strongly brewed coffee. I could not stand for too long as it made me feel weak with pain in my chest, lower back, and lower abdomen. I cant drink even mild coffee anymore without getting a bad reaction. I am through drinking coffee and i have been on a meatless diet which helps in my opinion. The doctors have put me on Omeprazole for years, but i dont like taking it because it makes me have

Acid reflux
- I have been breaking my own diet rules...pop,coffee w/cream, bananas, berries...you name it I have been eating it. Well, that's all over. Constant acid reflux and heartburn have won! I take Prilosec but it has stopped working...I read online that vitamin deficiencies can actually cause acid reflux. B vitamins, magnesium, calcium as well. So back on the vitamins today.Nix on the forbidden foods. I need to feel well! I have started a new medication that isn't helping but I was in tummy trouble before the new med started. Pepto Bismo helps, tums, soda crackers, fat free milk...guess the fat content in dairy products is the culprit. So only fat free dairy in small quantities for me. I ate all the wrong things for weeks...sure was fun but back on the chain gang!

What food triggers my heartburn the most
- I usually only eat two slices of Pepperoni pizza because it not only makes my tummy angry, but I end my day with the worse case of heartburn. I can't help it we all love pizza.

Try apple cider vinegar
- Bananas are my down fall. I haven't had a banana in months. I get reflux from being hungry too. A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (the unfiltered kind, the Heinz processed stuff is awful) in a tall glass of water multiple times a day helps but every once in a while I get a flare up so bad it cause sinus and respiratory infections.

Finding new triggers daily
- I recently discovered that milk is a definite trigger food for me. I normally do not consume any dairy products because I just dont like the taste but had a craving for old fashioned oatmeal with lots of sugar and milk. Well I won't do that again. So now i can add that to no acidic fruits or vegetables, no fried foods, very few sodas, and no ground beef. It's funny how i used to be able to eat anything and now i'm finding more and more stuff that i can't have. Guess i'll be thankful for the stuff i can eat lol

CHEAPOILS is the cause
- What stopped my heartburn was quitting processed foods. I used to think the cause was chocolate (from OREOS) and such, but NO, it was the cheap non-cold-pressed hydrogenated OILS in corporate food. I quit buying big brand names and have gotten off Prilosec!!! If only I had know this 10 years ago! Try this, it works!

Some GERD solution
- Stress one of the biggest culprit. Soft music while eating or at regular basis. Word game helps sometimes. Hoping to find back my 'lost love' coffee, will try that tylercoffee.com. Great! Ginger is my best buddy now, boil lots of ginger root keep it in a mug with a lid and mix it little by little with your normal mineral water as and when. Today had my soft baby-like rice and bland steam mackerel but made a ginger garlic with light chinese soy sauce, it worked pretty well. Yeast is an agent for fermentation, apparently it cause acid reaction, but i cant take wheat or rye just normal white bread is fine. Toast it till very brown(kills the heaviness of it somehow), spread with little jam or mamite, i dip it in plain hot water. Sad.. but whatever that can fill my tummy without throwing up in the morning.

No to my favourites
- Triggers almost anything I eat, my kind of food at least. Bed time the worst, suffered from insomnia. No more munching berries, cheese and drinking my hot chocolates. Feta cheese ok though. No more salad dressings, balsamic especially. Spicy indian food or even some mediterranean meze. Can't miss my medication, been two years.

Everything
- My heartburn issue started after having surgery to remove a benign tumor from my stomach, after that I have had heartburn constantly even with water. I now take Nexium twice daily and it does help but still have break though heartburn at times that is triggered by peanut butter, chocolate, anything acidic, mint, cheese, crackers, onions, alcohol, and anything fatty.

to get rid of heartburn take
- go to the health food store and get some bragg's apple cider vinegar. What you want to do is 2 teas spoons in a cup of water 30 min before you eat in a few days you will see big changes... I have done this when I was almost to the point of vomiting and apple cider vinegar took it away...
