| barley | yes | |
| beans | yes | I can eat most beans except pinto beans and light red kidney beans - no matter how they are prepared they give me heart burn the instant i swallow. i can eat a ton of black beans and dark red kidney beans with no problem but pinto and light red kidney are terrible for my acid. |

| yes | |
| yes | Every time I eat bread I get horrible heart burn, nothing seems to help, I did try apple cider vinegar and that helped a little. Bagels are the worst. I will miss these foods, but I am so much happier without them, and i I will probably lose weight without them. |
| yes | I hate bread!...always get that "throat is closing "feeling with bread..then the gerd kicks in...hate it....any ideas for a substitute? |
| yes | Why do bread, bananas and oatmeal cause me heartburn? They are low on the list of heartburn causes! None of the ususal suspects bother me. I take Aciphex 3-4 times per week. |

| burgers | yes | burgers give heart burn |
| butter | yes | |
| cereal | no | Three tbsp of Kellogg's rice and whole wheat flakes with a small banana, no sugar and low-lactose, low-fat milk is fine in the morning. The kind of milk, sugar and quantity are, perhaps, factors to be considered. |

| yes | Every time I eat a bowl of cereal I get heartburn. Healthy cereal gives me worse heartburn than my kids' cereal. |
| yes | I can eat kiddie cereals without any problems, which amazes me because milk by itself usually gives me heartburn. However, healthful cereals, like bran, oatmeal, whole-grain cereals, etc., give me heartburn to the point of reflux, which is unusual for me. |

| yes | 9/10 times |

| yes | Honey Bunches of Oats gives me heartburn but the sugery cereals do not. |

| chocolate milk | yes | |
| coconut water | no | This is very soothing on the stomach and contains excellent amounts of pottasium |
| coffee | maybe | Usually small amount of coffee once a day is fine. Note that small here isn't equal to a pot of coffee you used to in StarBucks :) - start with smallest you can find and slowly increase to see what works for you. Usually if I add dessert it makes it worse somehow. |
| maybe | Light Roasted coffee give me horrible heartburn. Switched to dark roast one day because the cafeteria was out of light and no heartburn. Have switched to dark roast full time now and heartburn is mostly under control. Mentioned to 3 other people at work with heartburn and it helped them also. |
| no | Coffee with milk is no problem for me, personally. But it is any kind of cookie, that comes with it. The combination of coffee and wheat products seams to be worst. |
| cognac | no | If you don't drink it on empty stomach it works just fine. It is also a great drink to relax your nervous system. |
| corn tortillas | yes | |

| yes | it causes me heartburn in the worse way it lasts for hours. |
| cream | yes | Double cream seems worse |
| cream of wheat | yes | I have been eating hot cereals in the morning to avoid milk, which causes me severe reflux, and cream of wheat it seems also gives me severe heartburn/reflux. |
| dry black grapes and corinder seeds | no | if i take dry black grapes(resines)with corinder seeds shocked in water in morning through out the day i dont feel heart burn |
| dry red wine | yes | Very acid. Will always cause heartburn if you drink a lot of it. Could be ok in small quantities with food.

| eggs | yes | |
| fish | no | baked is good |
| fried food | yes | |
| garlic | yes | I love it =( |
| yes | You bet it does....... |
| yes | Ate a lot of garlic (three small clove pieces through a garlic press) in pasta 2 days ago all I smell is garlic and have had bad heartburn sense eating it. |
| garlic bread | yes | |
| ginger | no | I like to eat California Roll (sushi) with shaved pickled ginger. Oddly, it doesn't affect me at all. However, powdered ginger spice does. No clue why its different. |
| yes | i have heartburn |
| grapes | yes | |
| yes | Yes! Red or green I get almost instant heartburn from grapes. Such a shame, I love eating them. |
| yes | |
| yes | Can I eat grapes while I suffer from heartburn ? |
| honey | no | This actually helps my heartburn for a little while, sometimes it comes back but not so bad. Honey is supposed to be a natural remedy to help sooth heartburn/reflux. |
| no | Get honey from the (bee keeper) only. Most honey sold is cut up to 49%. and the law still allows the word (PURE) to be printed. |
| yes | |

| kefir | no | Does not cause heartburn at all. If anything, it actually seems to help me. |
| no | I tried the strawberry flavored. It helped me! |
| no | kefir - plain, unsweetened has helped reduce the acid significantly. Been using for several months now. |

| yes | fyuh |
| yes | I get heartburn just rerading about eating lemons... |
| yes | |
| lemon juice | no | Lemon juice works great for me: I put it in anything I can: salads, vegetables, pork chops, chicken, fish... There is something about lemon (and aple cider vinegar) that, ironically, neutralizes acid! |
| yes | Even diluted in drinking water spikes esophageal burning and worsening of reflux |
| lentils | yes | |
| lettuce | yes | Lettuce makes me acidy! I really hate it. |
| yes | iceberg lettuce causes me acid reflux. |
| list of acid foods | yes | |
| yes |
aist of foods containing acid |

| no | small pieces around 150 grs. like 1/3 of a pound are ok but better as lunch and not as dinner. |
| meat and eggs | maybe | Only if the eggs are raw... Get them only from a farmer with healthy chickens.. I have been eating them for 30 year.. Never been sick yet. |
| yes | Any meat and eggs give me heartburn. |
| milk | maybe | It does relieve heartburn for some people and it does cause it for most of us. So try it and see which effect you'll get. It is interesting that hot milk is much better for me than cold one. |
| no | 3-4 sips of cold milk direct from refrigerator helps me and many others. repeat after 1/2 hour if required. taking milk in more amount starts the digestion process which increases acid production in stomach. |
| no | Only drink (RAW MILK) See Kefir listing notes..... |
| no | I have been drinking a ton of water and aloe vera juice but, just have a couple large glasses of milk today and really soothed me. I dont know, reflux and Gerd is one bog pita but, I think milk helps me. |
| yes | Milk relives when you drink but later leds to heartburns |
| yes | I have never been a big milk drinker, because it has always given me heartburn, even as a small child, unless I eat it with a crap cereal, like Apple Jacks or Fruity Pebbles. |
| yes | I am pregnant, in my third trimester, and experiencing heartburn/reflux for the first time in my life. Milk is what is doing it every time. I cut out milk and I seem to be fine. Can't understand why. |
| yes | milk also cause my heartburn to worsen and it is very painful too. |
| yes | Especially if I have it in coffee.
Drinking black coffe or coffee with soy or rice milk I have no heartburn problems. |
| milk, icecream | no | Make it yourself with (Raw Milk) Only |
| yes | some people claim that dairy helps heartburn, that is not the case for me. |
| milk,curd | yes | |
| misc | yes | tea,lemon tea,coffee,garlic-ginger ready mix paste,ketchup,apple,pizza,soyasauce,excess oil in food,indian spices,pineapple,grapes,apple juice, indian curry,chocolate pastry, potato chips (salted) all these cause heartburns to me |
| mushrooms | yes | sauteed mushrooms in butter - does that cause heartburn or acid reflux? |
| no salt, peas from a can | yes | with plain white ricewith no salt peas from a can. Not cooked peas. In a can they have been saturated. |
| yes | with plain white ricewith no salt peas from a can. Not cooked peas. In a can they have been saturated. |
| non-veg.halal | yes | |
| noodles | yes | every time i eat packet noodles i get bad acid |
| yes | Any kind of flour noodles give me the same heartburn I get with bread and cereal, leading me to think it is something about the grain/flour element that is causing it. Rice noodles, like in Thai or other Asian food, seem to be okay. |
| yes | every kind of noodle cause heartburn for me and it get very painful too. |
| nuts | no | |
| oat bran and oat meal | yes | idid put my comments down and submitted them
|
| yes | |
| oatmeal | maybe | Instant Oatmeal packets "any kind" gives me heartburn.
If I make my own with Quaker Oats Old fashion oatmeal, Splenda brown sugar, and Raisins then no heartburn. |
| no | So I've been suffering with acid reflex disease for several years now. I nearly always wake-up several times in the middle of the night with heart burn, unless I've been taking Prilosec. However, the other day I made some Oatmeal cookies, and ate a couple of them before bed -no heartburn. I repeated the experiment last night -no heartburn. WOW! I used the standard recipe off of the Quaker box, except that I made my own brown sugar using Molasses. |
| no | This is one of the only breakfast foods I can eat that does not cause heartburn in the least bit. |
| no | Real Old fashion oatmeal, (not quaker oat) will solve your trouble.. Eat them cold never cooked.. Just let them get soggy before you eat them. People should look at the water or milk for their trouble first. The water is not distilled or the milk is pasteurized. Again see notes on Kefir |
| yes | I have acid reflux. I get heartburn evertime I eat Oatmeal, greasy foods, or spicy foods. |
| yes | I love oatmeal but am coming to the conclusion that it is the cause of my heartburn. Is there something short of meds to keep this from happening? |
| yes | Oatmeal is good for us but I thought it was NOT supposed to cause heartburn. I eat a lot of spicy foods without problem, but when I eat oatmeal it ruins my day with heartburn, I don't get it. |
| yes | Plain old-fashioned (not instant) oatmeal, with nothining on it, give me heartburn every time. Nothing else does. I have heard that oatmeal is a good way to treat heartburn. Obviously that isn't the case for everyone. What is causing this reaction? |
| yes | i like to eat instant quaker oats hot cereal for breakfast, but i get heartburn every time. the reason i've stuck to it is because it keeps things regular, as in prevents constipation. the heartburn is not very severe, and only lasts about 20-30 mins. its a small price to pay (perhaps) for all the benefit of oatmeal cereal. however, if a eat a traditional breakfast (eggs, buttered toast, cheese, bacon etc) in any combination, absolutely no heartburn. and no heartburn after salads, cold cereal, meats, vegetables, fruits - i'm good with everything but oatmeal... how come? |
| yes | I thought I was the only one! Every time I eat oatmeal (plain) I get a sour taste in my mouth and mild to moderate heartburn. What the heck is that all about? |
| yes | I used to eat oats everyday with milk, now that I don't add milk any more I have started to get heartburn every day. |
| yes | All the same here. GERD and oatmeal, although I love it, creates havoc for me. I always thought that was weird since the foods you would think we be more of a problem (i.e. spicy) don't give me much trouble. What gives? |
| yes | Everytime, it doesn't matter what i do or do not add to it. Within the hour it causes heartburn that lasts (it seems) forever. |
| yes | Same problem here, it's so quick and filling and handy at work I would eat it out of my mug in the mornings, but it gives me the absolute worst heartburn every single time, so I had to quit. Is this maybe caused by a gluten allergy or something?? |
| yes | I looooooove oatmeal and it is one of the best things one can do for themselves at the start of their day... or so I thought until I started getting day-long heartburn from it! Do you know how hard it is to do Yoga with such a burn?
My co-worker says he knows oatmeal can do this to you and he recommended a Rolex.. another advised to trink a glass of milk after eating it.. I guess there's nothing else to do than try it out and give a report about it later?... I've never had a problem with it before until just recently and I'm pretty sure I've pin pointed the problem to be the oatmeal. yup. |
| yes | |
| yes | I know someone who's also been getting extreme heartburn from oatmeal and only oatmeal. From everything I've read on the matter, oatmeal should NOT cause this. So, I'm wondering, in how many of these cases is organic oatmeal causing it? Because if it's not, than we could possibly conclude that it's not the oatmeal itself. I'll have my friend try it and see... |
| yes | I find it amusing that I hear that oatmeal is not supposed to cause heartburn, yet there are so many "yes" comments here. For me, it is torture. I absolutely love oatmeal, and even as a little kid it would make me miserable at school, with not just heartburn, but a constant burning in my lower stomach, as well. I just can't eat it anymore! |
| yes | The worst heartburn ever |
| yes | you are not crazy, oatmeal causes me horrible heartburn whether I eat it plain, with coffee, with brown sugar, whatever....it just plain hurts!!! I am going to get tested for celiac disease to see if I am sensative to gluetins that are in oatmeal. |
| yes | I get bad acid reflux symptoms when I eat oatmeal. Milk does not cause this nor does wheat based products like shredded wheat. I have tried just toasting the oats but this still caused heartburn. I have read, not sure if controlled trial studies, that oatmeal MAY be a culprit in elevating uric acid in those who have hyperuricemia or gouty conditions. |
| yes | Every time. |
| yes | Everytime I eat Oatmeal, I get heartburn or my GERD starts acting up |
| yes | Oatmeal seems to contribute to acid reflux after I eat it. |
| yes | I just ate a bowl of oatmeal with almond milk and I am having acid reflux. Even if I eat it plain, it is the same thing. |
| yes | yes - every single time i have oatmeal i get bad heartburn that last all day. i have tried every possible way of preparing it and it will give me heartburn every time. organic, rolled, quick, fine powdered, oat bran - no matter what form its in, it will give me heart burn. i have found that adding cinnamon will lessen the amount of time and severity of my heartburn after eating it - but i rather just stay clear of it. |
| yes | I eat organic instant oatmeal with a Tsp of raw suger and it has caused heartburn the past 2 days. |
| yes | If I eat oatmeal in the morning for breakfast, it gives me acid reflux. However, if I eat oatmeal at night, it does not give me acid reflux. This is interesting. Does anyone know why this might happen? |
| yes | In the morning vs. at night. I suffered from acid reflux for a looong time, back before it was a common diagnosis. I could not figure it out, thought it was tomatos, thought it was onions, peppers, gatorade, etc, etc.... Turns out, those foods were only working in combo with something else.....what?? Coffee! Yep, was the last think I considered cause I didnt wanna give up my joe. But went to green tea and overnight, BAM! no more heartburn!! That was many years ago, and subsequently I have stopped alchohol and cigarettes. Now, I can have coffee again, as much as I want, but I am not near as addicted to it as I once was. The root, for me, as near as I can tell....alcohol and tobacco! All other problems wtih food/drink stemmed from those. If you use alcohol/tobacco and you have health issues, STOP. |
| yes | I googled oatmeal and heartburn because I get it so bad! I love it too but the heartburn kills me! What the heck is in it that does that??? |
| yes | Wow, who would have thought that my favorite breakfast would give me heartburn. Its the kind of heartburn where my vision goes blurry and I cannot walk. Oatmeal?!?!? |
| yes | Diagnosed with GERD recently. Yesterday I was craving a bowl of homemade oatmeal (have not had it in YEARS). So I ate it and was fine until bed. I woke up every hour last night with heartburn so bad I thought I might vomit. I took pepto on top of my prilosec and slept in a chair for about and hour and now I feel fine. I thought oatmeal was good food until I found all of your comments! |
| yes | |
| yes | I thought I was the only crazy one. glad to see others have the same issue! |
| yes | I always get heartburn from oatmeal, though less from oatmeal cookies. |
| yes | yes, at least for me it causes not only heart burn but acid stomach as well. I am on Prilosec 20mg a day and for experiment i had a soy milk with instant oat meal, in 2 hours i was sick, i think they are both acidic form foods. I will stop and change my breakfast and see. |
| yes | absolutely! i just figured this out today. My heartburn and acid reflux has increased severly since i started eating oatmeal this week for bfast. Im convinced thats the culprit. |
| yes | Oatmeal (cooked or raw, milk or water) is just about the only thing that is guaranteed to give me very bad heartburn for many hours |
| yes | Can eat the spiciest foods but oatmeal always caused heartburn. I started to pay attention & noticed that I also got heartburn after eating any bread products as well (was only eating breads such as Ezekiel/sprouted grain breads etc...) & figure it must be a grain or gluten thing. |
| yes | I never get heartburn and eat mexican spicy food all the time. I recently started to eat old fashioned oatmeal for breakfast, with just water,apples and cinnamon and noticed I was getting heartburn, but did not contribute it to oatmeal. But now I am convinced, through process of elimination, that it is the oatmeal causing the discomfort. I am shocked!! How strange!! |
| yes | I felt so foolish telling my health conscious wife that I got heartburn when I eat oatmeal. This is the old fashioned cold rolled oats that take about 20 minutes to cook. It was after putting much thought into what could the cause of this heartburn and deduced it was the oatmeal. |
| oatmeal cereal | no | Oatmeal cereal is guaranteed not to give you heartburn. It also helps relieve it. Note you cannot survive only on cereal - so add something else to your diet. |
| yes | Gives me heartburn every time I eat it. |
| yes | Horrible, nauseating heartburn all day long, culminating in a bloated, painful stomach & more misery. |
| oats | no | Real Old fashion oatmeal, (not quaker oat) will solve your trouble.. Eat them cold never cooked.. Just let them get soggy before you eat them. People should look at the water or milk for their trouble first. The water is not distilled or the milk is pasteurized. Again see notes on Kefir |
| yes | I thought oats were plain and had no effect on heartburn. After eating this stuff for 2 months now Ive come to the conclusion that it adds to heartburn. |
| yes | oat based cereals (hot or cold) give me terrible heartburn |
| yes | Anything oat-based or with oatmeal as an ingredient give me terrible heartburn. I cannot eat oatmeal cookies or any desserts made with it, period. |
| yes | Just tested it. After one week without any grains or wheat/rye/barley etc. I just had 40 g of Oats with milk for breakfast. Should be the mildest food in the world, but Caused terrible heartburn just 5 minutes later. Milk alone was never a problem. Good to know that it happens to others, too. |
| yes | I never get heartburn - even though I eat spicy food and all the other stuff they say are the cuprits...BUT when I eat oats (which I love!) I get the most evil heartburn all day long. Its so frustrating but I think I just have to find another favourite breakfast. |
| olives | no | olives in salty water are a great snack, no heartburn in me after a 175 grs. package. |

| yes | I seem to get heartburn from peanut butter, usually when I eat it in the morning. Sometimes having milk with it helps, but I usually need a Tums after having any peanut butter. |
| yes | everytime i eat peanut butter i then suffer all day and night with heartburn, and it gradually gets worse, why? |
| yes | Every time I eat peanut butter I get acid...but I still crave it! |
| yes | If I put too much peanut butter on my Pb&J I get heartburn worse than anything else. I usually just have to drink something to make it go away though. |
| yes | Whenever I eat peanut butter now, I develop massive heartburn in my stomach, as well as feeling nautious. 12 hours later, I still have a upset stomach from the peanut butter. |
| pears | no | I houve found that eating a well ripened pear eases my heartburn just like an antacid. |
| peppers | yes | I mind peppers, OJ, tomatoes, etc. What foods are really good for heart burn. |
| pineapple | maybe | I noticed after a couple of times that it develops heartburn. |
| pizza | maybe | |

| raw pistachios | no | I eat them as a snack in between meals and have not had any heartburn symptoms that I do get sometimes from eating roasted peanuts. |

| red pepper relish | yes | |
| red spices | yes | Any red spices gives me heartburn as does alot of other things. It is a 24/7 battle. |
| rice | no | No actually is one of the things I can eat freely. But this is plain white rice as in japanese gohan, if you mix other things well; who knows. |
| yes | Sharp heartburn pains as you are eating. Eat slow is my only warning. |
| rice- bakery-sauce | yes | I always suffer greatly from heartburn after having some of these forms of foods. |
| semolina, whole wheat, coconut | yes | |
| yes | semolina and whole wheat... any kind of wheat gives me heartburn. I miss my baked goods.. especially bagels :( |
| yes | Any type of wheat, including semolina, causes severe heartburn for me. |
| sour cream | maybe | if I take it with food like pancakes or rice i will never feel it. If I take it without other food - it will cause minor heartburn. |
| soy milk | yes | it gives me heart burn... |
| soy sauce | yes | Immediately after ingesting heartburn starts building in momentum until I flush it down and out with water. |
| yes | |
| yes | |
| spicy | maybe | i have constant burping and acidity problem , also left side chest pain some times |
| spicy food | yes | I had spicy food on empty stomach and it has been giving me heartburn and stomach discomfort. |
| spinach | no | Fiber in spinach helps to relieve heartburn long term. It never caused heartburn for me. |
| no | I get heartburn all the time and take bicarbonate of soda to ease the discomfort. Recently I discovered that eating spinach (cooked in a little olive oil with chopped garlic)prevents the onset of heartburn. It's like magic. I've been experimenting with this for several months and the results have been amazing. I takes five minutes to prepare: Just pour a couple of tablespoons of olive oil into a large pan. Let it get fairly hot before adding a teaspoon of chopped garlic. Let garlic heat to a nutty smell (but not browned). Then add a bag of fresh, pre-washed spinach. Use tongs to keep it moving in the pan until it has cooked all the way down. Put it onto a plate and grate fresh parmesan cheese over it. |
| no | I have a LOT of problems with heartburn, even water seems to set it off. Spinach, on the other hand, seems to help a ton. If I eat some spinach (fresh or canned) every few days, I am completely heartburn free. As soon as I stop, the heartburn comes back. Spinach seems to be my secret weapon. |
| yes | Spinach in small amounts is OK. A spinach salad is OK. But there is something about cooked spinach as a side dish that brings on major heartburn for me. |
| splenda | yes | Even in small amounts in baked goods triggers GERD |
| yes | How does Splenda cause heartburn? |
| yes | Whenever I have Splenda, I wake up the next morning with terrible heartburn. Nothing else triggers it in me. |
| yes | It seems to make mine worse |
| yes | I had that happen to me yesturday. I ate canned fruit sweeten with splenda. And all day I had heartburn. And to take two heart burn pills and drink a miskshake to coat my stomach just to calm it down, |
| splenda is poison | yes | I started taking the OPC FACTOR as I needed energy. I then started to get horrible heartburn and realized it was the splenda that was in it... They mark it on the box a Sucralose which is deceiving as I didn't know that Sucralose was splenda. Splenda is POISON and should be taken off the market! My father also use to take Splenda in his coffee then got so blocked and couldn't go to the bathroom. He had to go to the doctor it was so bad. Once he stopped taking Splenda he was fine! |

| yes | |
| tortillas | no | Fresh tortillas are great and since they are not done with yeast you don't have to worry about gassy-bloat tummies. |
| turkey | yes | |
| vinegar | no | I really like th Apple Cider Vinegar. It works well for me, was taking omeprazil before it but now drink the vinegar. It needs to be all natural from a health food store, non-processed. DO NOT USE the stuff from a department store. It even helps weight loss, and detoxes the body. Lots of health benifits, look it up! |
| no | Apple Cider Vinegar that is (not distilled) not filtered.. It most be the real deal... Most vinegar is made from (coal tar) .. The same stuff you drive your car on.. |
| yes | I never understood why people claim that vinegar can help heartburn. Your esophagus is inflamed and you will just pour more acid on it... The same story with lemon juice. Pouring it on open wound would achieve the same effect. |
| yes | It is so bad. Some people say taking a tablespoon of this stuff gets rid of heartburn. Totaly not the case! Makes it worse for me. |
| yes | Horrendous experience, stay away from it. |

| wine and good crackers | no | I occasionally enjoy wine in spite of my GERD. I always eat All-Bran Multi grain crackers with it. |
