Hey Jenny,

It's all depend on you.

I know for example that most ppl with GERD can't have pop- but for me I can. and also most ppl are good with crackers- I'm not...

You should try eating foods that you enjoy and make your own list, or maybe 2 lists- one for foods that are ok and one for "bad" foods.

Were you just diagnosed with GERD?

Hi Jenny,

I was just diagnosed with Barretts and researching and finding the same as you. I had saltines a few hours ago - and they even bother me - have not had soda pop in two years - if I try to sample immediately a problem. I would like to know what fruits are non acidic - which veggies are best, etc. like you as well.

Sorry. I got lost and could not remember how to get on here.
thank you for your replies.
I am in a place where I have had no real food in 4 weeks. I am 75 and a small woman. I lost 6 pounds and am down to 101.
there are lists of don't foods, but no do foods. I find baked potatoes are ok, squash, a few crackers, cooked carrots, but have no strength to research much. I thank anyone for any list they might have for me.
blessings!

Hi Jenny, I am so sorry you are struggling. But my daughter in law found this site with lots of information on what is acid and I have found I can eat more than Ithought but still trial and error. Good luck. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~comm/lacf-phs.html.html

Hi, I have the same problem, im so frustrated because doctor says yes to this food and then you read somewhere that its a no no! One Food I have found caused reflux for me was oranges and tomatoes, there for I stopped all acidic based foods. It made a difference for me, and it was hard to stop because I love those sort of fruits. Chocolate is another, as to any drink with caffeine. I found that these irritated me. I like camomile tea with honey which works well if you can drink it. I was at the stage that I didnt want to eat anything, but thats silly! I really think its a case of trial and error. See what works for you. Dont eat certain things to see if it has had an effect.

Lemonade was killer for me. I have Barrett's.

Hi, after 3 1/2 weeks and holidays I am finding that little mini bites or "meals" of very non- acidic foods including no sharp foods like divertic foods nuts and seeds - avoiding all and realizing whatever I put in must be nutrient and non acid - I am doing a little better - a friend RN suggested I do just like looking for an allergy start with just one item and add - I find that cantalope, pears, peaches and apple without skin is ok in fruits - french cut green beans and chicken breasts grilled ok - hey and I am loosing weight on the plus side.

I think it's a bit different for everybody. Some of the stuff that is supposed to bother me does not and vice versa! maybe start a food diary and take note of what bothers you and what does not? Good luck!

The food diary is an excellent idea and is working for me. I had done so well and yesterday was tempted by a family soup I made that hubby loves - had tomato, beans and a little garlic and know because I am keeping track that is what caused this bout!

hi
small meals
really help
