GERD-Friendly Recipes

Living with acid reflux disease doesn't mean depriving yourself, it means identifying trigger foods and avoiding them. We've worked with Elaine Magee, MPH, RD (registered dietician), author of a nationally syndicated column, "The Recipe Doctor," to create recipes for GERD-friendly meals that are easy to prepare, healthy, great tasting and designed to reduce the burn.

Some of these GERD-friendly recipes use ingredients that may trigger symptoms of GERD in some people. Discovering what works best for you is the key to success.
