Gastroesophogeal Reflux Disease and Your Diet

Eat well balanced meals in small portions and eat slowly.
Avoid products that contain caffeine such as regular coffee, decaffeinated coffee, regular tea and chocolate. Caffeine stimulates the production of stomach acids.
Avoid foods and seasonings that stimulate gastric acid, such as black pepper, garlic, cloves and chili powder.
Avoid lying down right after eating for at least one hour. Do not eat just before bedtime.
Try eating smaller, but more frequent, meals. Break your meals into two portions. Frequent small meals eaten in a relaxed environment are best.
Avoid alcohol.

Contact your doctor before making any diet changes as related to your medical condition.
