Every now and then, it’s nice to enjoy a little dessert. But knowing the issues that arise from acid reflux, GERD sufferers may struggle between desire and distress. Not to worry. The Healing GERD RD is here to settle this once and for all. Yes, you can have a sweet treat….Directly below is a teaser. Here’s my full food demo. Enjoy!
Enjoy a Sweet Treat (without reflux)
Here’s how to make a GERD-friendly Halloween-inspired treat
You are going to need two simple ingredients: Small, pitted dates and a some Wonderful Pistachios. Dates add an intense natural sweetness (so you don’t need that much) and those Wonderful pistachios are not only deliciously green, they contain 6 grams of protein per 1-ounce serving, fueling your body with essential amino acids. And the combo of the two is delish. Below are two fun ways to enjoy the simple combo for Halloween!:
1) Check out my Date Pistachio Bear Claw, made frighteningly simple by pinching 3 dates together and adding pistachios for the green nails.

2) And it wouldn’t feel like a treat without a sweet pop. My Date Pistachio Dusted pop is as simple as it sounds. Secure a date onto a popsicle stick and roll it around in finely ground pistachio. For a sweeter version, melt some Carob chips (they’re a great caffeine-free alternative to chocolate), then using the popsicle stick as your handle, swirl your date in the sweet carob syrup and roll into crushed pistachios.
