Acid Reflux - Food to avoid & Safe food

This is the first article that helped me deal with acid reflux, after avoiding the food and only eating the safe food. I kept the acid reflux under control and stopped taking Gaviscon and gastric pill.

This plan has two stages: a 28-day 'healing' phase, where you avoid foods that trigger acid damage, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, coffee, peppers, seed oils, chocolate and processed food generally, and choose instead those rich in compounds that help repair the damage, some of which are listed in the box below.

This is followed by the maintenance phase, where you reintroduce some banned foods back into the diet. 

This second phase should last a minimum of two weeks, but you can follow it for life. 

After 28 days, you should notice your reflux is much improved.

Next is the maintenance phase, where you can introduce foods with a pH of 4 or above — including red, yellow or green bell peppers, some varieties of apples and soft cheeses including feta and cottage cheese. 

This phase should last for two weeks, after which you can eat normally again.

If your symptoms return, or to protect yourself long-term, you can choose to stick to this stage for life.
