Time and amount: Idea is to let your stomach empty and not cause overdistension which can aggravate reflux.

Also want to avoid foods and drink that can aggravate like alcohol

Question 10

during 24 hr ph test, are you supposed to eat foods that trigger your gerd symptoms? i read that you are but got no instructions on this.

Accepted Answer

Ph test: My understanding is that during a 24 hour ph test you are supposed to eat meals and continue normal activity. I think it would be helpful to eat foods which trigger your gerd during monitoring especially if previous tests like a barium swallow or gastroscopy failed to demonstrate a reflux disorder.
