Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

Also be wary of GERD diets. About the only useful thing they tell you is to avoid caffeine, part of a drug class well known to relax the cardiac sphincter, the one that opens up and creates the erupting volcano under your sternum. A lot of the diets tell you to start using canola oil, something that proved to be one of my worst triggers. I can eat hot chiles all day long with no problem unless somebody has cooked them in canola oil.

So definitely keep that diary, it can tell you a great deal about what's going on.
