10 GERD Diet Foods
GERD Diet Food #8: Egg Whites
The egg white refers to the clear part of the egg. It is formed from the secretions of the hen’s oviduct forming around both fertilized and unfertilized egg yolks. The egg white functions to protect the yolk and provide nutrition for the embryo if present. It is mostly made of water and proteins. It has almost no fat with a low amount of carbohydrates.
It contains more than 50 percent of the protein of the egg. This means that it is a great source of protein especially for individuals with GERD as it has almost no fat. This reduces the symptoms of reflux.
