What You Need to Know About GERD and Low FODMAP

Those of us who have IBS often have companion problems related to our digestion that can cause us unnecessary pain and suffering. One of those potential companion problems is GERD or (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). There’s a lot of misinformation about GERD out there and there’s even more information that is correct, but very difficult to understand. With that in mind, I am sharing an excellent guest post written by an expert (who just happens to be my amazing sister), Sarah Aitken, RN, MS, WHNP/FNP, and featured in her own Game Changer program.

GERD can be the cause of heartburn, difficulty swallowing, burping a sour taste, excessive coughing or throat clearing, and more. Thankfully, many of the foods we can eat freely even while on a low FODMAP diet, actually help prevent GERD. And, lots of the foods we may already restrict on a low FODMAP diet are the ones that can make GERD worse. So, if you’re truly following a low FODMAP diet, you may already have cured yourself of GERD symptoms. But, if you’re having symptoms even while you’re following a low FODMAP diet, then this article just might give you the additional information you need to improve your symptoms.
