Hi everyone I put up here yesterday about really bad stomach reflux. It's been really bad with my anxiety, but after years of trying to find out what flares it up I have found out it's chocolate, so no more chocolate for me. But thank you to everyone that advices me on what could help it xx

Poor you! I can have chocolate, but no more Italian food, or cream based sauces. No more "cruciferous" veggies. Can have a bit of ice cream if I feel llike living dangerously...

I have found though that drinking a lil bit of coca cola with Italian food helps with the digestion...we find a way😉

I do like chocolate, lots, but I guess I could go without if I had to. I keep small dark chocolate squares on hand and have one or two a day. Sometimes I also make myself hot cocoa with 2% lactose free organic milk. But I can't over do it!

Hi Karen,
So glad you figured it out! I suffer from acid reflux too and chocolate is also a bad one for me. Chocolate has something in it that relaxes the valve between our esophagus and stomach so that it doesn't close completely, causing acid from the stomach to back up into the esophagus.
Tomato based products, caffeine, high fat foods, and highly processed carbs such as white breads, and sugars also do it for me.

Hi, Karen,
Have you looked at the FODMAP diet? It's available on line and is actually a list of foods that are suppossed to be non-reactive.
I do best on a low residue diet, which is different. But I can also eat some things, such as white bread. Everybody's different.

Hi Karen 😉that's me! OMG I got up with an idea that something is very bad because I have been spoting between the periods since March. Even my head is saying that by now would be other symptoms if it would be something I still keep reading Doctor Google and going crazy. 😕
Blessings x
