10 GERD Diet Foods
GERD Diet Food #3: Ginger
Ginger is a flowering plant where it is widely used as a spice or in folk medicine. It can be used as a spice, pickled, steeped for tea, made into candy or wine, and more. It is widely used in South Asian cuisines. Although thought to help with the alleviation of nausea and vomiting, the evidence is inconsistent. There is also no evidence that shows the effectiveness of ginger in the treatment of pain or dysmenorrhea.
While generally safe, it can cause side effects such as heartburn especially if taken in powdered form. However, in homeopathic medicine, it is thought to have natural anti-inflammatory properties which makes it a natural treatment for gastrointestinal issues and heartburn. Adding sliced pieces of ginger root to smoothies or steeped as tea has been thought to help ease symptoms.
