Question: GERD is the worse thing that could happen to a human! No more tomatoes! D:?
This Is a cruel world! I have Acid Reflux and tomatoes trigger the acid in the stomach.
That includes sauce, soup, cream, slices, etc
That includes one of mankind's greatest inventions: the Ketchup!
That also includes some of mankind's greatest achievements: Spaghetti, pizza, lasagna, ravioli
OOOOOOOOOHHH I love Italian! But what now?! AAAHHH
And worse of all I can't eat a good old ham, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce sandwich
What's a good replacement for tomatoes in a common sandwich? Are sliced cucumber a good replacement? O_O
I mean don't get me wrong, there is not replacing tomatoes, is impossible! Is almost sinful!
But I have to otherwise I'll get reflux @__@
So is a cucumber a good choice? O_O

hmmm, did it occur to you that it might be what you are eating with the tomatoes that is causing the reflux?? perhaps it's the milk in the sauce or soup or cream ... or the cheese in the pizza, lasagna, ravioli or sandwiches that produces the reflux .... that's precisely what produces reflux, excessive belching, excessive gas, bloating, headaches and insomnia, moodiness and achy bones with me.. lactose intolerance.
there is no good replacement for tomatoes..... i ditched eating them for 2 years before i worked out it was lactose intolerance.
i eat them now....;0)

Well I have acid reflux pretty bad too, but ketchup and a little bit of tomato won't mess me up, try experimenting , try a little bit at a time and see how much u can go with out u gettin sick. Nothing can replace the taste of a nice red juicy tomato. Lol
Have same thing, but still eat everything but regret it later. Ha
Here is a christmas present for you - take digestive enzyme supplements when you eat and enjoy your tomatoes. :) My mother can eat all the oranges she wants now..had severe GERD for 5 years until she started taking digestive enzymes with betaine hydrochloride to improve stomach acid..no longer has any reflux with enzymes. Up to 95% of people who think they are suffering from too much stomach acid are actually suffering from the exact opposite condition...too low!
"The bottom line here is that most people are very confused about the role stomach acid plays in health. Most people:
* Think they have too much, when in fact they have too little.
* Treat the symptom and suppress stomach acid production, ultimately leading to long-term health problems.
* Ultimately lose the capacity to produce sufficient stomach acid as a result of dietary abuse and continual use of medications to suppress the body's ability to produce it.
Don't get into that trap.
* Use digestive enzymes with all your meals.
* Drink aloe vera juice.
* Use probiotic supplements with confidence.
* Use proteolytic enzyme supplements with confidence.
* And, if needed, use apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride supplements to make up for stomach acid insufficiency."
