There r plenty of fruits and vegetables that can aid in adding fiber as well as whole wheat bread.....keep a journal and if the food affects u...delete it from ur list.Beans don't work for u or the cereal.....it could be u r in a flare...during flares sometimes water would affect me.

Thanks so much selmaS!!!
Could you reccomend good fiber sources? I dont want to take pills and supplements. I want a natural approuch!
As an athlete, I need that extra power sometimes, so are things like baked potatoe, bread(white and brown), cheese, chicken, bad for my GERD?
Yes, I believe that smoking is a contributor to ur issues...beans may not be the best fiber source.....but I agree when the IBS flares so does the reflux.
U really need to look at ur diet and smoking.......and make some changes.

Thanks for your reply...The vomiting comes from my IBS. Today I was searching the internet, and came accross a topic that said Apple cider vinegar works for some people.. I will not lie to you...I tried it, and in 5 minute the burn in the throat was gone... How is this possible??? My PPI's take 2-3 hours to work but deals with the issue one time....Gaviscon and Maalox dont work at all, but the Apple-Cider worked one shot!!!
P.S in the beggining I had the throat burn everyday, even though I was taking 2 x 40mg Nexium. Now if I take 1 20mg omeprazol or a 40mg nexium, instead of giving me relief for the day, it gives relief for 3 days(one only huh!)....
You know...its a hard decision to quit smoking...Do you guys really think smoking can be my cause??? I smoke 20cigs a day, and I also smoke 2 or 3 Marijuana joints a day...
PPS..Oh and my IBS is caused from not enough fiber, but the thing is, if I eat a high fiber cereal or beans etc... I tend to get heartburn then!!!
Ur dr is well trained in this area and smoking is on the list of things to avoid with GERD.
Vomiting is adding to the amount of acid in ur espohagus...along with the reflux ....all it can do is cause perm damage.And although it may make u feel better now, down the road it could cause more issues.
