If you live with the pain and discomfort caused by acid reflux, than you’re probably well aware of the importance of a proper diet. Let the following steps act as a guide to help you pick meats for an acid reflux diet.

From Quick Guide: Acid Reflux Diet 101
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Learn which meats to avoid and which meats to embrace. If you want to learn how to pick meats for an acid reflux diet, it’s important to commit to the idea of a diet. Self-discipline is very important. You should only pick meats that will not aggravate your condition.

  2. Step 2

    Poultry, roast beef and lean cuts of meat that are grilled or baked are strongly recommended for an acid reflux diet.

  3. Step 3

    Most people don’t realize that preparation is just as important as the meats you will choose for your diet. Avoid frying chicken or cooking hamburgers in a frying pan. Greasy meals and foods cooked in oil will only cause heartburn and discomfort. Fried foods in general are very bad for acid reflux.

  4. Step 4

    Embrace meat that is easy to digest. Foods that are high in fat like bacon, sausage, ham and processed meats will be harder to digest. These meats will only place you at higher risk for acid reflux.

  5. Step 5

    Once you prepare your acid reflux diet, take caution when using spices on the meats that you have chosen. Spices, pepper in particular, can increase acid production. Avoid heavy use of spices to minimize acid production.

Tips & Warnings
  • When you order meat at a fast-food establishment, always order a small meal. This is when many people experience burning and discomfort associated with acid reflux. In general, the meat found in fast food restaurants is very high in fat.
