Awesome, thank you! I am doing all these things. I have Acid Watchers books, several other GERD cookbooks, and will talk to my dr about the PPI as a temporary solution. I looked up the side effects of long term use of PPIs, and they are not anything I want.Only a few days in to switching my diet, and already, I see and feel a difference. I have read all the posts here and gotten some great suggestions and insights. One thing I could use help with: protein. I like to lift weights, and cutting out pea and whey protein powders has been a bummer bc there goes some of my protein for the day. I do not eat red meat and only eat chicken and fish once or twice a week. I eat a lot of tofu. No eggs or dairy, so those are out for protein. I also eat a lot of legumes and beans. Any protein powders that anyone can recommend that are ok with gerd and BE? Thank you!
