Hi Marine, Foods to avoid with GERDS are peppermint, chocolate, coffee, dairy, high fat foods, acidic foods; such as, tomatoes, pineapple, orange juice. Broccoli and cauliflower can also trigger acid reflux.
Also I don't eat any foods that can be a trigger for me much past 1:00pm, because I need enough time for my food to digest so I can sleep at night.
I do take Nexium everyday and without the meds. I wouldn't beable to eat at all. A piece of white bread use to give me heartburn. With meds I can eat small amounts of tomatoes, but I still don't eat anything else acidic.
Last year I ate fresh pineapple and it felt like someone set my stomach on fire. You need to eat very carefully and it will take you time to figure out which foods to avoid. In the end I promise you - you will feel better.
