Hi there, I've had experience with what is known as Silent Reflux, and occasional Choking Fits for several years when enjoying something like a Savoury Vietnamese Roll and didn't know it could lead to something serious - I had been So Busy running Websites Etc - until I had to have an urgent Endoscopy to see exactly what was going on.
When a Follow Up Appointment after diagnosis was never made for me for several months following that, being an Independent Researcher, I looked into things myself personally and found that a Restrictive Diet that is referred to as Acid-Safe was in order, and I emphasize if you have to be, because I'm a Spice Lover and also love Citrus and Tomatoes - never abused them though, so that was an alarming surprise for me, to have to refrain from Enjoying them.
I loved my Lime & Chilli and Lemon Pepper and Moroccan Spice by Mingle (absolutely No Nasties) my Cracked Peri Peri and Calabrese from Aldi, and Chilli Con Carne every so often. That isn't to mention an occasional Meal at an Indian or Thai Restaurant, a Beef Burrito Bowl at Sombrero's OR a Chicken Teriyaki Salad Bowl at Subway, and a fabulous Middle Eastern type signature Spicy Pumpkin Soup I made every so often. In addition to those, I had also finally managed to find an Afgani Store with a 100% Pure Pomegranate Molasses I was just venturing a little at home. So delicious.
So anyway, I've commenced an Acid-Safe Diet after Checking all the Items in my Fridge and Pantry, and I've also been engaged in working out All the Ways I can "Make Meals Tasty" on this Diet. All the Foods I like that are Safe as well as All the Foods I need to Avoid. Same as many of you who are reading this. I checked the Statistics for these Disorders in Australia, and it's pretty staggering.
So I have been working on a Project this Week, getting together some New Acid-Safe Recipes that will be more Tasty for you Folks who have been on this Diet for Years and were never told it doesn't have to be a Bland Diet. Hey? Let me make your Culinary Diet more Interesting. I will make a Webmenu right under the Page of Recipes for You, starting on the 1oth - 12th October 2026.
