GERD / Acid Reflux Recipes (heartburn, Gastroesophageal reflux disease, acid reflux disease)


All of the recipes on Gluten Free / Dairy Free NJ are already tomato free and (mostly) citrus fruit free due to my inability to consume highly acidic foods. I have found a number of people with GERD interested in my tomato free recipes. Since I am not an expert on GERD issues (nor am I a doctor) please take care before trying any of these recipes to make sure I haven’t made a mistake somewhere. The list below includes suggestions and less common triggers that you may or may not want to exclude depending on your specific diet.
