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.
