Evidence based(GERD)foods
What are some evidence based Indian foodstuffs that i must eat? I have GERD and i have a history of Gastric Esophagitis. I have 2 questions-Normally my diet is 3 big meals. I have been recommended 4-5 smaller meals during the day. But what should be those "4-5 smaller meals"? Because 3 big meals for usually are Chapati-Veggie for breakfast and lunch and Dal Rice with veggie for dinner. Secondly what foodstuffs will help reduce my chronic GERD problem?

Hi.... Avoid foods and drinks that trigger heartburn. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your heartburn.
Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals.
Don't lie down after a meal. Wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed.
