Welcome! Glad to see that you're already seeing results from the changes you've made! Good for you, for taking care of yourself and making the right choices for your health.
Have you tried replacing your skim milk with almond/rice/soy milk? There are so many varieties and flavors, you should be able to find one you like. Some of my favorites: Chocolate Almond Breeze is DELICIOUS; Rice Dream Rice Beverage is great on cereal or used in recipes; Soy Dream Vanilla is great on its own, mixed in smoothies, or to make homemade chai or chocolate milk. Ooh, and VitaSoy Original Creamy, I think, is really tasty and creamy, great on cereal too.
Teeccino is a coffee replacement beverage I really, really enjoy. It comes in different flavors, Vanilla Nut and Mocha, for example, and you prepare it as you would with regular ground coffee. Since you have GERD and can't drink peppermint, how about other herbal teas like fennel or chamomile?
I don't drink juices either or anything carbonated (although I used to really like Sprite, 7up, etc).
If you increase your fiber too fast, you will experience more gas and perhaps even D. Once your body adjusts to the amount of fiber, you shouldn't have D and you should experience less gas. It's great that you're taking a SFS (Benefiber)!
Take care!
