I live with GERD daily. I grew up with tomotes and garlic and enjoy eating these great veges. I really don't want to stop eating them. I know they are on the "bad list", but the hugh benefits they provide and the wonderful taste they give keeps me hooked. I try to limit them to early hours of the day. Is there a way to continue to enjoy these great foods and not suffer "to drastically"! I'll give up chocolate over a tomato!
Q: I LOVE tomotes. I feel that they have more benefits than bad to discontinue. Your thoughts?

Hello Lacy,
I love tomatos and garlic too-I understand your dilemma. If the foods are not triggering reflux, it is fine to continue eating these items. If you have to take a lot of medication to eat these foods, it is best to limit these foods to small amounts, once in a while.
Do you have symptoms when you eat tomatoes and garlic?
