For most of my adult life, although not a vegetarian, I have eaten mainly veggie meals with only meat once a week at most. A year ago I was diagnosed with silent reflux and after a long stressful year I have finally narrowed down that a big trigger for my reflux is vegetables!! I can't eat pulses or broccoli, sprouts, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, cucumber for definite. I also can't eat rice. There may be others. Due to all of this I have been eating more meat and dairy than I've ever eaten and I feel 90%better with my reflux but its not the lifestyle I want to follow.
I can eat passatta so at the moment I'm eating a lot of pasta, peas, sweetcorn and passatta but I have no idea how to make this work in the long term. I also can't eat anything with any form of additives on so most cereals are out. I do eat porridge or sugar free muesli though. But I can't eat stock or meat replacements or most milk alternatives as they have "stuff" in them that triggers my reflux. For my health to be at its peak I can only eat food (meat and dairy included) in its natural form with nothing at all added. Oh, and I can't eat spices either or take supplements that have "stuff" added.
Anyone have any idea if I can tackle this and how?
Thanks in advance.
