Enjoying Vietnamese Pho & Soups Safely with GERD

Vietnamese pho and soups offer rich flavors, but GERD sufferers must navigate ingredients carefully. Learn how mm food helps you enjoy these dishes without triggering symptoms.

Why Pho Can Be GERD-Friendly

• Broth Basics: Traditional pho broth simmers bones for hours, creating a low-acid base. Avoid added chili oil or excess garlic.
• Protein Picks: Choose lean meats like chicken breast or brisket (fat trimmed) over fatty cuts

3 Key Tips For GERD-Safe Ordering

1. Skip the Sriracha: Chili spices and garlic paste are common reflux triggers
2. Noodle Know-How: Rice noodles are naturally alkaline - request no scallions or fried shallots
3. Herb Check: Avoid fresh chili slices and opt for milder herbs like cilantro

   • Citrus-based seasonings
