4. Any Overly Acidic Foods
First, you should know that the worst enemy of GERD is anything that adds to the acid that’s already in your stomach or helps your stomach to produce more acid on top of what it’s already producing. This means that you should be avoiding any foods that are overly acidic or that aid in acid production: This includes the obvious culprits like tomatoes and fizzy drinks, but also includes some less obvious things like dairy products (milk, cheese and most types of yoghurt) that will only make you feel worse.
Consuming trigger foods when you have a condition like GERD can be dangerous enough to land you in hospital with your symptoms. More trigger foods are any sauces and spices that contain too much acidic-flavour – that means anything with chilli, too much pepper or vinegar-based is eliminated from your diet, usually even in moderate consumption, if you want to stay healthy.
