What are some foods that a person with acid reflux or GERD must absolutely AVOID (specifics please not just..)vague like "things with acid".

Apparently my doctor told me I have GERD which is GastroEsophagael Reflux Disease so I need to know what I can and cannot eat. Please help, any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciates

I've been told to avoid: onions, chocolate, coffee (even decaf - it's the oil, not the caffeine), mint, and greasy foods. Interestingly, I've been told that spicey foods like peppers should NOT be a problem.

In the end, though, it has to go by the simple rule that if you develop discomfort after eating a particular food, that food should be avoided in the future.

Acid reflux can be caused by a LACK of stomach acid and can be tested very simply!! If symptom occurs take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar!! If the symptom goes away ,you are lacking in stomach acid !! Betaine HCL will -in pill form- will help greatly -if not solve the prob.. Take an enzyme when you eat and that will also help greatly in digestion-whether or not your stomach acid is lacking!! A good enzyme which can be gotten at most health food stores is "Wobenzyme " !!! Even people without a problem can take enzymes and will get more from their food and feel better -more energy etc. Probiotics should also be supplemented for good GI function!!

You should AVOID these things:
fatty foods
spicy foods
chocolate
caffeine
onions
tomato sauce
carbonated drinks
mint
alcohol
large meals
lying down too soon after eating
certain meds: sedatives, antidepressants, calcium, channel blockers for high B.P., and cigarette smoking.
I don't/can't eat after 6 pm. or I'm up all night with heartburn. Sometimes I still get sick and end up chocking on crap while sleeping.(wakes me up)(SUCKS)
