If you’re dealing with GERD, acid reflux, gastritis, or H. pylori, sometimes simple, mild meals are easier to tolerate. 🤍
Here’s a comforting rice recipe I curated with gentle ingredients in mind:
Ingredients & why I chose them:
🌿 Cloves — used in a small amount for flavour without relying on spicy seasonings. They help in H.pylori
💛 Turmeric — adds colour and flavour while keeping the recipe mild and its recommended to use in this situation.
🍗 Chicken — steamed or grilled chicken provides protein without needing heavy frying or rich sauces.
🥔 Boiled potatoes — soft, simple and generally easier to digest than fried potatoes.
🥕 Boiled carrots — cooking makes them softer and can make them easier to tolerate.
🟢 Peas — provide fibre and nutrients; if you are sensitive to gas or bloating, use a small amount. They are tolerable for gut issues.
🌽 Sweet corn — adds natural sweetness and texture; keep the portion moderate if your stomach is sensitive.
🌿 Basil leaves — add flavour without chilli or heavy spices.
How to make it 👇
1️⃣ Boil water.
2️⃣ Add cloves, turmeric and your chicken cube.
3️⃣ Add boiled potatoes, carrots, peas and a little sweet corn.
4️⃣ Add steamed or grilled chicken for protein.
5️⃣ Let everything simmer gently.
6️⃣ Add the rice and basil leaves.
7️⃣ Once the rice is cooked and the water has boiled down, place it on dum until fluffy.
8️⃣ Serve warm and enjoy. 🤍
✨ Why this style of meal?
It avoids many common reflux triggers such as heavy frying, excessive oil, chilli and rich sauces, while keeping the meal simple and nourishing.
⚠️ A gentle reminder: food can help manage symptoms, but it does not eradicate H. pylori. H. pylori usually requires appropriate medical treatment. Also, individual triggers differ—if an ingredient causes you discomfort, leave it out.
Save this recipe for a simple, comforting meal. 🍚🤍
