Acid reflux (GERD) recipes for the whole family

Reflux-friendly cooking keeps the heat, acid and fat down without making dinner bland: herbs instead of chili, roasted instead of fried, and sauces built on stock or yogurt instead of tomato. Others at the table can add hot sauce at the end.

GERD cooking questions

Which foods usually trigger reflux?

Common triggers are spicy food, citrus, tomato, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, mint and very fatty meals. Triggers vary, so mark yours in the app.

Can the rest of the family have spicy food?

Yes. Gluten adds heat as a per-person swap at the end, so one pot works for everyone.

Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
