GERD Awareness: How to Talk to Patients About Foods to Avoid

SGNA Editor

With the holiday season soon in full swing, and in honor of GERD Awareness Week, (November 19-25), it may be time to re-evaluate how you talk to your patients about controlling gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. Foods that are often served during the holiday season can trigger GERD symptoms, but knowing how to talk to patients about controlling their diet to avoid or mitigate symptoms can be the key to their success, and a happier holiday season for everyone.
