Sorry to hear about your illness. First thing is don’t take any aspirin or ibuprofen unless your Dr. says to. These caused me to have a bleeding ulcer. I was in the hospital for 3days and had my small intestine cauterized. They told me I had silent reflux and the Barrett’s esophagus. So I guess it was a good thing that I found out early about these conditions. So no I’m on a low acid diet. No fried food, no Mexican food, no Italian food, no tomatoes, no booze, soda, chocolate, mint, no regular coffee, only low acid coffee like health wise brand, ph is 6.18
I’m eating baked chicken, turkey, baked fish and fresh steamed broccoli, cauliflower, baked potatoes, spinach. Try these and see how you feel.
Don’t eat anything 3hrs before bed. Drink lots of water. I also walk 5-7 miles a day. Good luck! Steve

Thanks, Rifleman64, I know that I can't continue to take my ibuprofen.Not sure what I can take for my arthritis pain. Tylenol isn't much help. What's strange is that I don't usually eat anything spicy or fried. I've been on the same diet for years, which includes whole grain bread with seeds 6gm protein 4 gm fiber, low fat, part skim mozzarella sticks with 7g protein and only 1.5 sat fat, almonds or walnuts daily, Siggies non fat yogurt with 15gm protein, peanut butter, and for desert, raisin bread, or instant flavored oatmeal. I don't eat red meat, but occasionally eat chicken breast without the skin. I have an Ensure Plus also daily and eat a protein bar every day too. It's made from Sunflower butter and egg whites and has 20gm protein. Oh, yeah, a glass of orange juice, which is now impossible to drink. So I've been eating only the foods that don't bother me and still experimenting with new food ideas. I"m also trying to finish eating 3 hours before bed, but I've been eating most of my food all the way up to the time I go to sleep and it's never caused me problems before. I went out last night and bought some bananas and some red bell peppers and a few red potato's. I don't drink alcohol, but I do miss my espresso. I've never warmed up to vegetable, but I had been getting enough fiber from the grains I eat and had been drinking v8 every night, but that's out now because of the tomato content. I'll have to go buy some chicken breast, but I'm not much of a cook!
