my favorite hack for my GERD or any acid reflux is putting a pinch or two of baking soda in my water/drink. you can barely taste it and it neutralizes the acid in your tummy.
why did nobody tell me that GERD was a chronic illness? i was diagnosed with GERD a while ago when i was very stressed out from high school, it flared up and i had to restrict things i was eating. it still flares up when im stressed out and my whole family has gastrointestinal problems-but i was never told that this is a chronic illness. i guess i never realized that this is a life time issue. when i’m feeling okay, i don’t need to restrict what things i eat as much but then ill have stomach issues that i just deal with bc i like eating my favorite foods and drinking my favorite drinks. idk just a ramble.
