Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)
I don't know if the sugar problem is a new thing, or something you've always experienced with GERD, because I don't have GERD to compare notes... but anyway, when I was really unstable, I couldn't eat sugar! More than just the tiniest bit in my cream of rice cereal would give me wicked D. I avoided it for a long time.
The oven fries, though, will help. I found that I could really wolf those down, too - even when nothing else was sitting good, I'd make up like 3 potatoes' worth of fries and before I knew it, they'd be gone! Addictive little buggers. LOL I'm sure they alone are responsible for a good bit of the weight I put back on.
