The holidays can be a challenging time for those suffering from GERD. Afterall, quite a bit of our celebrations revolve dining with family and loved ones. We treat ourselves to more sweets and fatty food than we do during the rest fo the year. So, how are you going to enjoy the treats and keep GERD episodes to a minimum?
Luckily, there are lots of things you can eat. Remember eat small portions and avoid the common culprits of onion, garlic, tomato products, chocolate, citrus and caffeine. Here’s what I’m cooking:
Baked Ham, cheddar potatoes (excluding the onion from the recipe), Green Beans with almonds, cranberry jello salad with cream cheese topping. Apple pie and ice cream wraps up the meal. Its going to be hard to avoid eating too much. I’ll be serving wine but am going to pass on it myself since that proved a bad idea over Thanksgiving.
What are you (or did you) cook for your holiday meal?
FAT causes gerd too, so you are going to have to cut out all dishes with fats or oils too : (
