Can you eat grapes if you have gastro esophageal reflux?

Answer 1

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the stomach contents (food or liquid) leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach). This action can irritate the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms.

Every one is different, so you should ask your doctor about what you can and can not eat.

Answer 2

I've seen web information that suggests yes.

I can tell you from personal experience that purple Grape Juice will help reverse an stomach ulcer. In 1988 I had a stress-generated ulcer that was causing me significant discomfort and pain. It was much worse if I tried to eat certain foods like apples as I could not digest the skins and it came back up. I went to 2 different physicians and tried both prescription-strength Tagamet and Zantac. This did not cure the condition, but made it worse, causing cramping and providing no relief at all. These drugs may offer some folks relief, but I was not one of them.

Then I read in "The Vitamin Bible," that liquid B-complex vitamins and grape juice could help cure the condition. I began taking liquid B-complex vitamins and drinking purple grape juice regularly. The B-complex provided instant short-term relief from attacks. The grape juice helped the long-term cure. After 3 weeks my symptoms had abated and were gone. I am convinced this combination solved my problem and it was the long-term use of grape juice that cured me. When you're in pain, you'll try anything. To my great relief, this one actually worked.

Answer 3

Yes. You can eat the same. This is no contraindication in GERD.
