Can gerd be cured by avoiding foods i am allergic to?

Absolutely: Yes! The best way to combat "Gerd", more commonly known as heartburn is by dietary modification. Foods that cause Gerd are not true allergens but rather "irritants". Try avoiding foods such as alcohol, spices, chocolate and mint. Different foods affect different people, try experimenting with your diet.

GERD : Not really.. GERD is not due to food allergy. Certain foods do cause relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and worsen GERD Symptoms. Coffee chocolate, etc among them. Avoid or minimize those foods will decrease your GERD symptoms. You may still need medication and if still persistent GERD despite treatment may need endoscopy.

Perhaps sometimes: Specific foods often trigger GERD and avoiding triggering foods, whether due to a true allergy or not, can be very helpful. GERD is often related to imbalances in gastrointestinal flora.
