GERD treatment: Diet vs. drugs

Hello,

I also have had GI problems with GERD and esophagitis. I also make smoothies in a blender. I use a combination of Kefir and an Atkins shake for the liquid (rather than almond milk). The Kefir provides probiotics and the Atkins shake provides protein and fiber. I generally add fruit such as berries and bananas.

Kefir is quite sour to drink alone, however, mixed in a blender with other ingredients the sour taste is not noticeable.

Has anyone else tried Kefir?

Never heard of Kefir. I forgot to mention an important part of my daily routine.....Atkins Dark Chocolate Shake! Dark Chocolate is the only one that for some weird reason my gut can handle, as I don't do well with milk products. This flavor causes no problems, all others give me diarrhea. I often have one shake a day, in a.m. or afternoon, as a small meal. It is filled with goodies that add a lot of the additional vit/min I need. It's filling, pleasant, and no, I've not yet tried it in my smoothie. Will soon though. I just ckd on Kefir and since I have trouble w/milk, I think I have to pass. Sounds like an interesting thought tho.
Blessings, all. elizabeth
