Will Your Program Help with GERD?

A healthy diet can significantly help control acid reflux symptoms.

Yes — Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating (SSHE) meal plans can help manage Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) by following dietary patterns that reduce reflux symptoms.

How Our Meals Help

  • We avoid common GERD trigger foods, including:

    • Fried and fast foods

    • Spicy foods

    • Fatty meats

  • All plans follow American Heart Association and Dietary Guidelines for Americans standards, aligning with a low-fat diet — a key strategy for controlling GERD.

Balanced & Portion-Controlled

  • Foods like tomato-based sauces, citrus, and chocolate are included in moderate, portion-controlled amounts and not served daily, which many people with GERD tolerate well.

Additional Tips for Managing GERD

  • Avoid eating within 2–3 hours of bedtime

  • Stay upright for at least 30 minutes after meals

  • Quit smoking, if applicable

  • Maintain a regular exercise routine

In summary:
SSHE meals support GERD management by being low in fat, free of major trigger foods, and portion-controlled, helping reduce symptoms while promoting overall digestive and heart health.
