@dr.matthewnagra: One thing that stood out right away is that she didn’t mention working with a dietitian when @drjacksymes asked if she had worked with a doctor or dietitian. Dietitians are the nutrition experts. If you have concerns about your diet, a dietitian is the one who helps you actually navigate what to eat alongside your doctor’s testing and medical interventions. It’s also interesting that, generally speaking, plant-based diets are often associated with lower rates of GERD. That said, GERD triggers vary a lot between individuals, which is exactly where a dietitian can help personalize things. It’s also true that long-term use of PPIs can affect absorption or metabolism of certain nutrients and is associated with lower vitamin D levels. But that doesn’t mean the solution is abandoning a dietary pattern (especially when motivated by ethics). It may simply mean considering something like a vitamin D supplement or a basic multivitamin to cover potential gaps, which again, is where a dietitian can guide you.
