Isn’t the tomato a problem with GERD?
It depends. If you are needing a healing phase due to extreme GERD symptoms, you should avoid tomato and other acidic foods. However, if you have been symptom free for a while and managing your GERD (GERD maintenance), a little tomato may not be a problem. It depends on the individual. In many cases, its about how much of something you might tolerate (finding that sweet spot before too much). For some tomato is absolutely off limits, for others, just a little bit may be okay.
Note: The dish would still be tasty if you prefer to omit it (or find that even a little tomato is a problem even if on maintenance phase).
Yes, tomato is a common trigger food. Good call. For those managing GERD, a little tomato once in a while may be okay. It really depends on the person and how much consumed. I generally just take them out or if just a bit, I’m okay. I created this post before I rebranded my site to just GERD so there may still be places for disclaimers, adjustments, etc in older posts.
