Which foods causing reflux?
Posted , 11 users are following.
I am in my 50’s and have somewhat mild reflux. I get a burning in my stomach or feel bloated, usually a hour or two after eating; though sometimes as I eat.
I have been trying to determine if it is caused by specific things that I consume, although it sometimes seems like I get indigestion no matter what I eat. I know certain things do give me indigestion. Sweet things have been bothering me since college: sugar, fruit, honey, artificial sweeteners, etc. I have found that nuts, seeds and milk don’t agree with me either. I suspect fatty foods (olive oil, butter, mayonnaise) and fried food may bother my stomach. In addition, eating a lot of bread or pasta may be a problem.
I have tried a kind of reduction-like diet, but wasn't been able to pin down everything that bothers me. I don’t know if I did the reduction diet as carefully as I might have. Does anyone have any suggestions for figuring out my problem?

Ive got Reflux and HH , Ive had a problem with food all my life , as a child and growing up my diet consisted of bland foods , ie bread, cereal, patatoes and meat, I have memories of sitting up most of the night as a child waiting to vomit which I never did , then as I got older and tried different foods my symptoms of nausea etc started getting worse , Ive had endoscopy and found to have Reflux and HH .. What I have found is that no matter what I eat , if I put it in my stomach I will feel bloated , tried cutting out foods known to cause problems but with my funny food phobia Ive had since I was a child ( I think its due to self diagnosis of Aspergers ) there wasnt much food left on my list I would actually eat so I scrapped that idea of dieting .
Im waiting appointment now for Fundiplication surgery..
Good luck .
