Anti-Inflammatory Foods

I've curated a list of foods that are relatively alkaline, contain no or very low sugar and gluten, and contain no processed foods. Let us have control over our lives by being mindful when it comes to nutrition. It is meant to be a useful list of guidelines for those who suffer from acid reflux or GERD. Notice that there is no dairy on this list.
Let's get creative! Make your own recipes utilizing the ingredients from the list. Share them with me and i'll post them to https://www.emilypietruszka.com/, or add something to the list that I may have missed!
