Has anyone else discovered that lettuce is excellent for acid reflux?
I have had stomach acid and stomach problems for 16 years and have been diagnosed with the following:! Gerd, reflux, hiatal hernia, and ulcers.
I have recently discovered that eating lettuce is the most helpful thing I can eat to get rid of my acidic stomach symptoms. Has anyone else had luck with lettuce??

Let us know if it helps you.
I find green leaf lettuce - the soft kind you can tear with your hands easily - very kind to my stomach

Never heard of this, going tomorrow for biopsies on my endoscopic. What symptoms did you have,I at on time was having trouble swallowing lettuce, but I’d like to try this.
@snoots a lot of reflux and pain in the stomach area. Right now as a I type, I can refer to having pain in a very specific and small area of my stomach. I believe I have another ulcer. I am looking into fasting because I am tired of doctors throwing medicine at me. Are they scoping you to try and rule out H. Pylori?
@pb50 agree about soft lettuce, some of which I get at the farmers’ market…having had CRC, I notice the difference.
@hsroka15 check out your stomach pain…many things cause it, quite common…if your bowel habits change, that’s definitely telling you to get checked…meanwhile, go gentle on diet, especially alcohol and caffeine ! Avoid smoking.
