Food alternatives

Managing acid reflux involves choosing foods that are gentle on the stomach and avoiding triggers. Here are some beneficial alternatives:

  • Replace oatmeal with steel-cut oats for a lower glycemic option that is easier on the stomach.
  • Instead of Greek yogurt, try coconut yogurt for a dairy-free, soothing alternative.
  • Switch grilled chicken breast with baked tofu for a gentle, plant-based protein.
  • Use quinoa instead of brown rice to reduce carbohydrate load and improve digestion.
  • Substitute lemon-tahini dressing with olive oil and apple cider vinegar for a mild, reflux-friendly dressing.

How to budget on this meal plan

To budget this acid reflux-friendly meal plan, prioritize buying whole foods in bulk, like brown rice, oats, and quinoa. Choose seasonal fruits and vegetables for cost-effectiveness and freshness. Consider purchasing larger cuts of meat and poultry to portion and freeze for later use. Utilize versatile ingredients across multiple meals, like chicken, salmon, and mixed vegetables. Opt for homemade versions of items like hummus, dressings, and smoothies to save money. Buying nuts, seeds, and legumes in bulk can also reduce costs. Plan meals to ensure all purchased ingredients are used, minimizing waste.

Extra tips

Any healthy snack ideas?

Snacks that are easy on the stomach for those with Acid Reflux:

  • Banana or melon slices
  • Oatmeal with almond milk
  • Grilled chicken strips
  • Rice cakes
  • Baked potato with a small amount of butter
  • Carrots and cucumber slices
  • Ginger tea

What should I drink on this meal plan?

Acid reflux diets require beverages that are gentle on the stomach. Herbal teas, particularly ginger and chamomile, can soothe the digestive tract. Almond milk is a non-acidic, calcium-rich alternative to dairy. Coconut water is a refreshing choice that is less acidic than most juices. Water, especially slightly warm or at room temperature, helps with digestion and acid reduction.

How to get even more nutrients?

Managing acid reflux involves avoiding foods and drinks that trigger symptoms. Reduce intake of spicy foods, chocolate, caffeine, and acidic foods like tomatoes and citrus. Instead, opt for bland, non-acidic foods such as oatmeal, bananas, melons, and lean proteins like turkey or chicken. Avoid eating large meals and try to eat smaller, more frequent meals to prevent overloading the stomach.
