Allergies and acid reflux....what foods do you find cause it? - Allergies Message Board

I'm trying to find out what may be causing my 24/7 chronic acid reflux. I'm thinking it might be something I'm eating. I've heard of gluten and dairy allergies causing it. Has anyone found out what food allergies/sensitivities they have that cause acid reflux? Thanks!

i have a hiatal hernia /reflux. I have to be careful on the amount of garlic i eat and tomato based sauces. If i have something like pizza, lasanga, tomato soup.. almost guaranteed flare up and have to sleep elevated for a few days.

Start a journal and rate your symptoms throughout the day.. list all your foods, times of day that you eat.. I also cannot eat past about 7pm. Depending on the food, even 7pm can be too late. See if there is any common denominator with your symptom ratings with the food. If there is..cut the food out for a week and reevaluate your symptoms

I also have alot of acid reflux, so bad that sometimes I can't swallow my food. I just now ate potatoes and eggs with fresh garlic.. And wow I really had burning and reflux. The thing is which am I allergic to..eggs or garlic? I think its the garlic ... i put alot on this time.

I might go to an allergist to find out for sure...You may want to do the same...
