Diet for Acid Reflux

[sweetbwio]

Hi there,

I'm an eighteen year old male, who has acid reflux. I'm currently on Zantac 150mg -twice a day. In addition, I also take iron supplements ( ferrous  gluconate, 300mg, once daily) because my iron is low and Vit C supplements because I stay away from acidic foods/drinks. I have changed my diet, staying away from the trigger foods and was recommended to eat protein filled foods, because I tend to always be hungry every 2 hours, partially because I eat small portions. I recently purchased brown rice protein, but noticed for its dose of 1 scoop (20g), it has 40% of Iron. Is it safe to continue to use the iron supplements once daily, vit C, and the brown rice protein?  
\Thanks in advance

Yes, this is safe as far as I know, however, as the above poster mentioned always check with your physician as well.

  Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.

  Not being a Dr or dietitian  I am not sure how to answer ur question,....adding fiber to ur diet should help, and I am sure the iron u get from the rice is not going to interfere with the supplements u r taking, but always talk to ur Dr about these matters.
