Good question... Seems like it depenRAB on how much you want to deal with the circumstances and the risks. I've concluded at this point that I will cut back significantly on anything that causes problems, but if there's something I just LOVE then I'll occasionally have it and deal with the downside. Sometimes, things that for me will bother me greatly if I have them regularly will not bother me if I just have them very occasionally. Alcohol is an example.
I think eating something on a regular basis that stimulates gerd is just asking for trouble, as is staying on medication that allows you to eat unhindered in unhealthy ways, but everyone has to decide for themselves.
