Take a look at these acid reflux friendly foods for health-promoting, reflux-free food ideas.
1. Almonds and other nuts
Nuts, and almonds especially tend to be gentle on the stomach and some people even report reduced acid reflux symptoms from eating almonds.
2. Whole Grains
White breads and pasta are notorious for leading to acid reflux symptoms. In fact, gluten, a protein found in wheat and similar grains, may be the source of your acid reflux.
3. Greens
Eat them as salad or cooked. Greens are easy to digest and nutrient dense.
4. Poultry
Chicken and turkey are naturally lower in fat and can be a great protein source if you notice fatty foods trigger your symptoms.
5. Cheese alternatives
Cheese adds flavor to your meal, but it can be a big trigger of reflux. Try substituting nutritional yeast, a pinch of sea salt, or the sesame-based seasoning called gamasio instead.
