I know how much it sucks to NOT be able to have things.I have GERD like you and am not suppose to have ALOT of things.But, my key is moderation

Not a lot of pizza cause of the sauce,not alot of orange juice cause of the acid.......you know the routine.

I have eaten Pistachios for YEARS! But, I had an allergic reation to the mold on them sooooooo bad I had to be admitted to the Hospital for a night.

Now, I am forbidden to ever eat them again.

I hope you get to main culprit of the allergy and aggrivation.

Well, they did a bunch of allergy testing on me before- lol....that was worthless still no answers. / Oh, you need to try the Minute Maid Low Acid orange juice - that's the only oj I can drink that won't absolutely kill me ....that and I take a double dose of Zegarid 2x a day (only reason I can eat 1/2 the food i usually do - Zegarid rocks!!) / Pistachios have mold? You ate moldy nuts? that's funny. (well not the allergic reaction- just that you ate them. Do they all have mold on them? I don't think i've ever had pistachios) / Oh, also- try California Kitchen's White Pizza- it's white cheese and spinach (no tomato sauce to irritate your GERD it's one of the few things I can eat without getting sick ) How are you feeling tongiht by the way?

I feel like I'm hacking up a furball
NO, not all Pistachios have mold.Just MY luck I got a batch from Krogers that DID have it.You coulnd't even see/taste it.But, my God did I know it when I broke out in welts and couldn't breathe

I might give the doctor a call. Maybe I can give her that as a present. She would love me forever.

Oh yeah!!!! When you are pregnant and told you can't have something, you want to do bodily harm to anyone that CAN have it. Pregnantcy makes you crave some WEIRD things too

I think also it's the basic psychology when you are told you can't have it then that is all you can think of.

(Like nuts, Nikki)

But with pregnancy, you can use the excuse the baby wants it!!!

Which I'm not supposed to let them do unless I'm there so they dont eat the yard to pieces. They are missing their freedom.

I guess you will just have to survive on cyber nuts for awhile.

The only thing Susie has to say abuot this is you listen to your doctor young lady! If she told you no apples for a couple of weeks, no cheating!! As far as the nuts go, just come here and talk to us when you get the cravings....we're about as nutty as you can get!

Well, I just went to my doctor this morning (for I swear the 100th time this year ) Anyways, I told him what the nutritionalist said- and he said that I could start eating tomato/ tomato sauce, some spices, and strawberries since my GERD is medically controlled!!!!!Yea!!!! / I'm still banned from nuts and apples- but hopefully I will be able to have those again soon . Especially Apples!!! I'm going insane without having my honey crisp apples

YEAH I too love tomatoes and strawberries ....

Nikki - one of the guys I work with has GERD, and SWEARS by drinking a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar twice a day. He insists that has done more for his digestion than any of the medicines they have had him on over the years. He mixes it with a little water and chugs it.

Maybe something to try, anyway...

I always use tomatoes when I cook! I cook a ton of Italian and Russian food I like to use strawberries too especially in fruit drinks, etc.

I would try it, but I can't have any form of apple (juice, vinegar, whole, you name it) due to my gastroparesis and IBS. / My GERD is controled with a double dose of Zegarid 2x a day- that's the only thing that helps it, but thankfully it works wonders Thankyou for the suggestion though- I appreciate it.

That sucks for you Nikki...you really love nuts that much eh? I could live without them (the edible kind)
