Although there is no surefire way to avoid the Symptoms of Acid Reflux, one can take many dietary steps to lessen the frequency or intensity of Acid Reflux Symptoms.  Focusing on non-acid foods will help your body naturally fight the acid that your stomach produces.  Some foods that will help if eaten regularly include:

• Non-acidic fruits such as apples and bananas

• Baked Potatoes

• Carrots

• Broccoli

• Green Beans and Peas

• Skinless, low fat chicken breast

• Extra-lean ground beef and steak

• Egg whites and egg substitutes

• Fat-free dairy products (such as fat-free cream cheese and sour cream)

• White or Multi-Grain bread

• Bran or Oatmeal cereal

• Cornbread

• Brown or White Rice

• Pretzels

• Low-fat and fat-free salad dressings

• Fat-free cookies

• Baked or fat-free potato chips

This list is not all inclusive, and since everyone’s body is different, it may not apply to everyone who suffers from Acid Reflux.  It is advised to keep a daily journal of what foods you have eaten prior to suffering from symptoms of Acid Reflux so that you can learn, over time, what your own body can and cannot tolerate.
