Useful over absolute
Clear context is more honest than a universal yes or no.
About GERDMenu
Food confidence should not require a medical dictionary.
We’re building clearer tools for one of the most ordinary—but frustrating—parts of reflux: deciding what to eat.
Our belief
Helpful guidance can be cautious, credible, and still feel human.
Why we exist
Between a generic “avoid” list and a 12-page menu, people need context.
GERDMenu helps people compare common reflux considerations in plain language. The website makes that framework transparent; the iPhone app brings it to restaurant menus.
We do not believe every person should eat the same way. A food can contain a commonly reported trigger and still be tolerated by some people. A “gentler” food can still cause symptoms in someone else.
That is why every result explains the reasoning and the limits instead of pretending to make a medical safety decision.
Sources over trends
Health claims should lead back to authoritative evidence.
Agency over anxiety
The goal is informed choice, not fear of ordinary food.
