Is there any LEGIT guide on foods that are non-acidic and good for acid reflux sufferers?
I keep reading conflicting reports all over the internet. I find one website that says Spinach is non acidic and good for people who suffer from heart burn, then I find another that says spinach is one of the worst because it opens up some sphincter thingie in your stomach that allows more acid reflux to get ya. Im just using spinach as an example……..Does anyone know a website that is the real deal? A website that is a creditable health organization that actually talks about its studies on these foods and what REALLY causes acid reflux and what doesnt? I got chemical poisoning from rubbing alcohol in my organs so its very important I dont eat acidic foods, but since I got the poisoning accidentally by trying to make something bad out of it and smoke it, the doctors have no pity for me and didnt give me any information on foods and stuff like that.
credible**
sorry im just upset. i wish I could eat something or knew what im allowed to eat.
There are a few sure things that I know dont cause heart burn such as apple cider vinegar, but I want to know what real foods I can eat. I dont want to eat salads with apple cider vinegar the rest of my life.

try a glass of milk at night before bed,and one in the morning first thing,works for me
First off, milk contains fat. Fat = indigestion. Sorry.
Basically, you need to stay away from 4 types of food. Caffeine, spicy foods, fatty foods and anything with alcohol. The best diet would probably be: http://heartburn.about.com/cs/dietfood/a/heartburnfoods1.htm
this one.
I am on one similar but have increased my tolerance to spicy foods. It’s taken a while and has been a gradual increase but I still get heartburn occasionally.
It is important to keep this under control because if left unchecked, GERD can lead to more severe illnesses. You need to speak with a Gastroenterologist. They will be able to get you set up with the right medications and give you good diet advice.
Look, I can’t tell you what to eat. What I can do is tell you of my long time experience with acid reflux. I was diagnosed with GERD about 10 years ago. The first course of treatment was diet. I had a regimen and I followed it to the letter for six months. No wine… no beer… no fried foods… no salad dressings… etc. I still had GERD. In fact it was worse. I went to another gastroenterologist. He did an upper GI series. His diagnosis was GERD complicated with a stretched esophagus. His treatment was to take 2 Prilosec daily.
Three weeks later my GERD was completely gone. Since then, I take one Priolsec OTC (generic) daily and I have never had another attack of GERD. I eat anything I want and don’t have to worry about waking up, choking on acid.
Oh, and as a recent bonus WalMart has recently started selling a generic equivalent of Prilosec that is absolutely the same medicine as Prilosec and it’s less expensive. It’s WalMart’s equate brand… Omeprazole 20 mg/tab. The same as Prilosec.
I suggest you give it a try… What do you have to lose?
