Bay Area Vegans

I’m looking for an Ayurvedic Doctor that can help me with my GERD. I’m 24 and constantly suffering.?

I am a Kapha Vatta and I just turned Vegan 2 months ago. I eat Spinach, Fried Foods, Bread, Mild Foods, Green Tea. Every morning at 730am I have the worst Acid Reflux under my Breastbone, and during the day I have it as well. I also have it at night before I go to bed around 930pm. I’d like to know what kinds of foods and snacks I should eat and when. I’m 5’1, 170 lbs. I have been overweights since I was younger, then I lost it in Highschool and gained 65 pounds after. I dont excercise much but I’d like to know what right excercies to do for GERD. I’ve attempted to go to the ER twice but once I got there I’d feel better, so I haven’t seen a real doctor yet, but I hear that the drugs they give aren’t good for the long run. So I’m looking for Ayurvedic Help. Please help I am in the Bay Area California.

Fried foods? What do you fry them in? Cooking destroys the essential enzymes that natural foods come with that helps your digestion.

Since I lost 50 pounds, I rarely have GERD (except on those rare occasions when I eat too much). I am on a raw vegetable diet. No dairy, no fried foods. Learn to count your calories, keep them under 2,000 per day, and exercise moderately. I’ll bet that as the pounds come off, the GERD goes away… just as it did in my case.

P.S. You don’t need an ayurvedic doctor, you need to learn diet and nutrition. There’s a really neat place right up the road from you in St. Helena in the beautiful Napa Valley:
