Hi I suffer from terrible acid reflux and a hiatal hernia-will an alkalising diet work ?

Hi Sophie

Thanks for commenting.

OK, most fruits are high in sugar and so fall into the acidic category unfortunately. Bananas, for instance, are 25% sugar! Some people consider them alkaline, but this is based on their state prior to being consumed, rather than the effect they have on the body.

I’ve done a post here http://www.energiseforlife.com/wordpress/2009/08/14/top-10-alkaline-diet-questions-answered/

This should help clear things up for you!

Cheers

I am a big beleiver in the alkaline diet. I have a question about fresh dates and bananas. I have read that they are alkaline. Is this true? If not, should fruit stay out of an alkaline diet altogether?

Thanks! Great Site!

Hi Meg

Yep, veg can be cooked a little – but try steaming instead of boiling, it keeps more nutrients and flavor. The more you follow this diet the more your body will start to be able to handle raw foods. Try making one or two of the soups or smoothies in our recipe section.

I see where fruits cannot be combined with veg. or meats in several alkalising diets, this makes it very difficult to follow plus can the veg.be cooked somewhat because the raw stuff other than salads just kills my stomach. thanks
