GERD and Gastritis
Hi Everyone,
It has been many years since I was first diagnosed with GERD and Gastritis. I’ve been off medications since I lost over 140 pounds, with the exception of an occasional dose of Maalox.
To add routine to my healthy eating plan, I decided to try one new food a week. Yesterday, I tried Weight Watchers mint cookie frozen dessert. Even though I know that mint is one food us folks with GERD and Gastritis should avoid, I did it anyway.
Not smart!!! My symptoms of GERD and Gastritis came back within one hour of eating the delicious dessert!
Well, we live and learn and here is my lesson. Medical professionals tell us that mint, caffeine, fatty foods and large meals all contribute to symptoms of GERD and Gastritis. Even if you have not experienced symptoms for sometime, like I have, these factors can still affect us.
Take care,
Georgene
