Patients with GERD can eat staple foods such as noodles, thin rice, and millet porridge.
GERD is a series of symptoms caused by the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus, mouth, throat, trachea or lungs, which can manifest as epigastric pain, burning sensation in the upper abdomen, belching, acid reflux and so on. GERD patients are advised to choose light and easy-to-digest food as their staple food, such as millet porridge, white porridge, noodles, and thin rice.
In addition, GERD patients should try to avoid foods that lower the pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, such as coffee, strong tea, chocolate, spicy and stimulating foods, high-fat foods, etc., and avoid eating before going to bed.
Patients diagnosed with GERD are advised to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, maintain a healthy diet, and consult a medical professional for the structure of specific staple foods.
