Over time you may be able to add back certain foods as long as they don\u2019t trigger your reflux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Foods To Include in Your Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s not fun to think about the foods you can\u2019t eat, there are still plenty of foods that don\u2019t seem to trigger acid reflux.
