Sometimes I think if I could get my gall bladder removed I could eat more
fried catfish without the pain.

The best way to avoid heartburn and GERD is to
change ones sleeping position such that the torso
is at an angle. I sleep in an easy chair with the back
set at 40 degrees and huge pad on the foot rest
for my legs. Other have had good success with
by adding 17 inches of tilt at the head
of the bed (with a foam mattress). The
Docs sometimes suggest 6 inches but that
is not enough. Also, betaine HCl will lower the pH
somewhat and  thus speed digestion and improve
bile release. I take 40 grains with most meals
especially fatty meals. I no longer need to
avoid most foods. I do still avoid caffeine
bearing foods. But I can have spices, wine,
beer, onions, fried foods, citrus, tomato sauces,
spanish rice, and all fruits.
This in a man who at times in the past spit up
red blood due to damage to his esophagus
from chronic acid reflux.
Only use the meds to get healed up which is still
quite awhile as it normally takes a couple of months.
All these meds are endocrine disruptors and
are nasty over the long term.
