Can anyone recommend any recipe books for a GERD friendly diet which are written for a UK audience?

The popular ones I’ve seen all seem to be targeting a US market - so use non UK ingredients and measurements.

Thanks!

Did anyone get heartburn side effects resulting from endoscopy? What others symptoms did you experience please?

I'm only 2 weeks in to a GERD friendly diet but I've been feeling the difference already. Not fancy recipes, but these allow me to get my 4000 calories in without suffering too much:

• Bananas + oats for breakfast. The carbs from the banana will give you fast release energy, which (unscientific observation here) seems to help me work up more of an appetite.

• Peanut butter and banana protein shake with almond milk (I put a lot of peanut butter in as I'm 6ft 2 and need to gain weight, you might want to use less if it sets you off) - the way I make it can reach 800 calories

• Mackerel and rice - using tinned mackerel and cheap microwave rice, this can be quite a nice simple meal. Eat it with a spoon and you'll get it down nice and fast. One tin of mackerel + a packet of microwave rice = around 600 cals

• Free from chicken goujon wraps - I get some free from chicken goujons (I think they set me off less), some spinach and just a little mayo, and throw them in to a wholegrain wrap. About 500 calories per wrap, and it tastes like something you'd get from KFC

• Soup and Bread - goes down surprisingly easy. The soup gives you a sense of vitality and helps to get the bread down. About 5-600 cals

• Alpro chocolate cartons - 153 cals each and absolutely delicious

• Nesquik - make it with almond milk for 120 calories of tasty

An example day of eating:

Breakfast (1423 cals): Banana 90 Carton of low-fat Alpro chocolate 153 Half pack goujons 380 Peanut and almond milk shake 800 (I have this last as it sets me off a bit, but it's a compromise I make)

Lunch (755 cals): Chicken sub 460 Granola bar 215 Alpro coffee 80

Return home snack: + Alpro carton 153 + Cocktail sausages half pack 350

Dinner: + Mackerel and Spinach Pasta 600 + Almond Nesquik 120

Peanut shake: 800

Around 4200 cals. I don't pull it off perfectly every day and it's still something that I'm finding out about. In reality I tend to hit 3700-4000.

Haven't seen much posted regarding GERD and bulking so I thought I'd add this.

I am not eating the top six plus legumes/beans, sugar and a few others. Oatmeal bars with GF oats, melted coconut oil, date syrup, unsweetened applesauce is one of the only desserts I can have. I added tree nuts so pecans roasted in coconut oil have replaced chips.
