Soothing Recipes for Acid Reflux Relief (GORD)

If you struggle with acid reflux, you’ll know how frustrating it can be to navigate food choices. But did you know that simple, nourishing meals can help ease symptoms naturally?

These gentle, gut-friendly recipes are designed to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and keep reflux triggers at bay—without sacrificing taste! From a soothing ginger oatmeal bowl to a gut-healing bone broth soup, these meals provide comfort while helping your body heal.

Plus, I’ll share why ingredients like stewed apple, bone broth, and ginger are powerful for digestion.


Soothing Ginger & Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl


A simple, gut-friendly breakfast to start your day without triggering reflux.


Ingredients:

  • ½ cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

Why It Helps: Ginger and cinnamon aid digestion and reduce inflammation.
