Coffee, chocolate, tomatoes. Does GERD mean giving them all up? ☕🍅

Not everyone has the same triggers. Registered Dietitian and GERD patient Sarah Glinski shares why foods that bother one person may be well tolerated by another.

Portion sizes, meal timing and eating pace can matter too. Tracking your food and symptoms can help you spot patterns while keeping your diet varied.

Watch Part 2 for Sarah’s professional insights and personal experience.

📌 Save this reminder: a trigger-food list is a starting point, not a rule book.

November is GERD Awareness Month. So, what is GERD?

GERD happens when stomach contents repeatedly flow back into the esophagus. Heartburn and regurgitation are common symptoms, but GERD may also show up as a lasting cough, sore throat or hoarse voice.

If reflux symptoms are frequent, persistent or getting worse, talk with a healthcare provider.
