Default Can anyone help with Esophageal Reflux disease?

My husband just had an endoscopy. We are still waiting for the biopsy results and to hear if he has H. pylori down there, but there were definitely "erosions" in two places. The top one was in his esophagus, so that means he probably has Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. (GERD)

Does anyone here have this or know much about it? In looking at the diets recommended, high fat diets are out. Supposedly fatty foods weaken the Lower Esophogeal Sphincter and make the condition worse. Seems that about half of our current LC diet is off limits. Akk!

I'd love to hear how others with the same, or similar conditions is coping with it as an LCer. References to other forums is welcome too.

Thanks!
