Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

In GERD, Potted meat is not an absolute contraindication, but like all other canned food products, its also advised to be taken in a range and not in excess.

In GERD following lifestyle modifications help.

Losing weight (if overweight)
Avoiding alcohol, chocolate, citrus juice, and tomato-based products
Avoiding peppermint, coffee, and possibly the onion family
Eating small, frequent meals rather than large meals
Waiting 3 hours after a meal to lie down
Refraining from ingesting food (except liquids) within 3 hours of bedtime
Elevating the head of the bed 8 inches
Avoiding bending or stooping positions

Rest assured, 80 percent of the people stay managed with just these lifestyle management. Lets hope you are one of those 80 %.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

May the odds be ever in your favour.

Regards
Khan
