Foods that are sometimes okay (usually varies by other ingredients, amount of fat, method of preparation, and time of day):

Apple juice/cider (reflux)
Bacon (Reflux. Okay early in the day)
Bananas (sometimes fine, sometimes diarrhea, sometimes texture/gagging issues)
Beans, plain, cooked from raw (if there’s any crunch at all, my stomach doesn’t like them much)
Bran (cramping gas if I have, say, a bowl of bran cereal. Amount in a muffin *might* be safe)
Bread (can’t eat dry unless *extremely* fresh)
Broccoli, steamed (problem with the smell)
Butter (Reflux. Okay early in the day or in very, small quantities late)

Carrots, raw (these don’t make me ill and taste good but visibly do not digest at least half of the time)
Cauliflower, steamed (problem with the smell)
Celery, cooked or raw (reflux)
Chicken sausages (I’ve found two brands that are safe. Others really aren’t)
Cinnamon (Reflux. Possibly okay in trace amounts or early in the day)
Coffee (reflux. Fine before 5 p.m.)
Doughnuts (Reflux. Okay early in the day)

Garlic (cooked) (Reflux. Safe early in the day)
Ham lunchmeat (very lean lunchmeat very early in the day is possibly safe. My reflux doesn’t like nitrites or nitrates)

Jello (can make me gag if I’m not careful)
Lemon (reflux. Okay early in the day)
Lime (reflux. Okay early in the day)
Margarine (reflux risk. It’s a coin toss any time after 4 p.m. Frying with it is unwise after 2 p.m.)

Sesame oil (small quantities only or I get reflux)
Shrimp (depends on preparation. If completely plain, safe all day)
Sugar snap peas, raw (2-3 usually okay. ½ cup results in next day cramping gas and diarrhea)
Sweet potatoes, fried (reflux)

Tempura, other battered and fried things (Reflux. Okay early in the day. Risky later)
Turkey bacon (reflux if after about 3 p.m.)
Vinegar (reflux. Depends on concentration and time of day)
Vegetables not mentioned specifically elsewhere, cooked to mushiness
White grape juice (makes my throat feel icky. It’s okay when mixed with other things)
