I love that combination of berries and sweet banana and almond milk, too. I add a tablespoon/scoop of vanilla or unflavored unsweetened protein powder and after buying fresh berries, banana, I clean and cut up the fruit, stick it in ziplock baggies and put in freezer until I'm ready for a smoothie. By freezing the fruit, I get the really cold effect that I love w/o adding ice which waters down the drink. I love this smoothie and do this a couple times weekly. It's really delicious, feels like a treat and is so good for me.

I also take several supplements, after blood-tests for deficiencies and to see what I need to add. I take script potassium, script B12 shot I give myself every 2 weeks, Vitron+C -for iron deficiency, D3, B Complex, zinc, magnesium, biotin, Centrum Silver for Women, glucosomine-chondrointin, I eat a greek yogurt parfait with berries and granola several times weekly for breakfast, which helps my digestion and offers protection as I'm often on anti-biotics , steroids or other meds. I have also added a probiotic, which I lucked up on since they are so different..but, for years I had serious gut/IBS-D and since , don't.

I seem to have hit a good system for me with this issue. Trial and error. There are some foods that can cause you specific issues. But, the gastro doc had a list of the ones most likely to cause Gerd problems. I have my own list that's just added to the general list.

Interesting, I can't drink any carbonated waters or drinks other than diet coke. Coke is known to have a soothing effect of the stomach. That may be part of it, don't know. But, the carbonation in this drink helps me with gas and bloating. Other carbonation cause serious Gerd issues.

That's a breakfast or maybe a mid-afternoon small meal. I also eat small amounts always. My gut will rebel like crazy if I eat what used to be a full meal. I eat 4-6 times daily, small amounts, varied items/tastes. And, not after 6ish in the evening. I drink water/green tea iced or hot throughout the day, about 64 oz of liquids daily.

Hope you all find you own personal system that works for you. blessings, elizabeth
