Alcohol
Hot peppers or anything overly spicy
High fat foods - if eaten in small quantities okay, but a large meal will do it every time

I have not been able to alleviate symptoms of GERD by omitting any specific foods or drinks. I am convinced that my GERD is related to autonomic dysfunction. I love very spicy foods and notice no difference in symptoms even after eliminnating them for weeks. I continue to have symptoms even with very small, bland and liquid meals.

I always have GERD symptoms, too. By following a strict GERD diet, the symptoms stay pretty mild but if I eat ANYTHING spicy, acidic, or fatty I have big problems and it takes weeks to get the reflux under control. Whenever I get tempted to eat any questionable foods, I just remember how horrible I will feel and it helps me stick to the GERD diet. My friends say, "Oh, can't you cheat a little?" I explain that it's just not worth it!

Hi Ive found that I havent got the willpower to follow a certain diet. Do any of you get indigestion pain too? If I have upset my stomach through eating something it doesnt like it bloats and hurts. Somedays I get bad pain. I would get reflux with Indian food but I have eaten it and just get pain sometimes. Some days I only have to have a drink and I can be in pain all day. Do the antacids help control it so that you can eat what you want? I keep hoping that I will eat what I want again and my stomach will get better. Do you think there is a chance that reflux problems can get better?

I've listed most of the foods that bother me in my journal entry on my diet:

There's also some random restaurant foods that bother me, but who knows what sort of ingredients they use in restaurants so any food you're not cooking yourself is always a risk ;)
