There's foods that trigger GERD for me, and I used to roll around the floor every night in agony, not knowing quite what was going on, as it was my norm.
To fix late night issues, I just have to eat before 6pm.
Chew properly. Soups kill me. And anything tomato sauced based is out.
Also weirdly oatmeal can trigger issues for me. But I can get away with it in the morning. I think it's also a chewing issue.
A huge amount of digestion happens in the mouth. So now I get my partner to pre-chew most of my foods for me.

- sergers 3y agoUmm yea sorry, can you explain the pre-chew food. Why not blend/mince the food if it's a digestion issue
- chickenfeed 3y agoIt was a joke, of course I don't get my partner to chew my foods for me. The blending is not so much the issue. It's the saliva being an important part of the digestive process that counts. Blended soups can upset my gut, probably as I don't chew.

- justinclift 3y ago> And anything tomato sauced based is out. Does orange juice also cause issues?
- chickenfeed 3y agoYes.
- thelastparadise 3y ago> pre-chew Can you please explain this? I was following along nicely until this part.
- chickenfeed 3y agoIt's just play. Meaning that I'm too lazy to even chew my own food, so I get someone else to do it. Like on Ferenginar.
- meristohm 3y agoYou have a loving and supportive partner :) I enlist yeast and bacteria to pre-chew some of my food, namely in sauerkraut/kimchi. Cooking also is a form of pre-chewing.
