For your GERD have you heard of the acid reflux diet? I was listening to a podcast one day and Bette Midler was talking about this diet with somebody who was losing the ability to speak. She follows the diet to save her voice for singing and her Las Vegas show. I certainly hadn’t heard of it from my doctor who only prescribed meds.
I have, and have tried to stick to it, but hard to think through everything. Also, I'm not safe driving any more, so I don't really go out when I think about it either.
I had to eliminate one prescription med (progesterone), vitamin D, tomato sauce, raw onions, and mint from my diet. With a those changes, I have only the occasional acid reflux event. I sneak a pizza dinner one evening every 2 months or so, and as long as it’s one night only, I can get away with it.
So far, I find lentils to do the best, but I am so sick of lentils. So very sick of them, heh.
Here is a John Hopkins link about the diet. If you had tomato sauce with those gnocchi, you might have made the reflux worse of tomato is a trigger for you.>>>>>>
Nope! No tomato sauce. Olive oil and butter, but almost everythig does it to me, now. I can't even take antacids as I start hacking the sodium in them out of my lungs, and boy that is nasty. (Which reminds me...Try and take half of one...I need to belch).
