==>Hi . Welcome to our group. Good for you on starting the

diet. This program is very successful with curing GERD and other

digestive problems. I'm sure members of this group will respond, but

you can also search our message archives (above).

GERD is mainly caused by low stomach acid; enough stomach acid keeps

the valve to the esophagus closed so you wouldn't get heartburn.

Also candida overgrows in the stomach which will cause further

problems with that valve.

Along with diet and supplements, the best thing for GERD is good

unpasteurized sauerkraut since it raises stomach acid if it is too

low, and it lowers it if it is too high - it acts like nature's

stomach acid stabilizer. Eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup with every meal. You

can either make your own; it isn't difficult, or buy a good one at

the health store from the refrigerator section, but do not buy

Bubbies Brand which is heated.

Also follow the recommendations in the Section " Improve Digestion " in

my main candida article:

Everything on this program works together to cure candida and to

correct health problems.

The best in health, Bee
