A member asked:
A relative is vegan (2 years) and has had horrible gerd for the past 10 years. what sort of diet can he follow? what foods are good for him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet helps but...: Gerd is a complex problem. Yes, a proper diet can help but will not cure; the underlying causes are usually related to a deficiency (not excess!) of hydrochloric acid and imbalance of intestinal flora. A diet low in simple/processed carbohydrates will help but the primary role of that diet is to improve the balance of flora. See http://bit.Ly/1b1avqs and follow the link to chris kresser's report.
