Careful Eaters

 

My teens with reflux are what I call, “Careful Eaters”. They make good decisions about what they eat at home and when eating out. Well, most of the time. Sometimes they will eat something acidic like pizza with tomato sauce but then they will skip the soda and drink water instead. They are able to eat a bit of a high acid food to satisfy their cravings without triggering heartburn. I hope you are a “careful eater” too and do all you can to manage your reflux by making good choices.
