@lisa1030 Water can irritate the stomach also. I have to drink and cook with filtered water... we have the under the sink type filter. Our water has lots of chlorine and probably other chemicals.. city water. I can drink coffee. I drink a dark roast that seems to have less caffeine and acid. There are some coffees you can buy on line that are listed as low acid, but I do well with just the dark roast and keep it at a reasonable amount and not like I used to... a cup in my hand almost all the time 😂 You might do well with just taking something like Zantac or Pepcid. I have to take a PPi because of Barrett's esophagus. I do not get bile reflux anymore after having a gastric bypass to fix a stubborn paresophageal .. sliding.. hernia. I get the mucosa from my stomach coming up. It does not burn, but lots of mucus to choke on.

You should be able to eat any lean meats. I have a swallowing problem and my easiest meat to eat is ground beef. I eat any non-spicy tender meat though. Chicken can be hard for me to swallow sometimes. My main seasoning is salt. I can eat Lawery's seasoned pepper, but black pepper burns. I do okay with nutmeg and ginger powder... which are good seasonings for beef. I can handle a little cumin, but no chili powder. I can eat some sweet onion, but no regular yellow or spanish onions. If I cut up chives finely I can handle a little of them in eggs. Some tomatoes are less acidic than others. Google can probably tell you which ones. I do not eat them very much nor do I eat raw foods. A food diary is an excellent way to figure out what triggers your symptoms or makes them worse.

Best of luck,
