Which of the following is an important dietary recommendation for avoiding heartburn or gerd?
a. avoid fluids
b. eat large meals
c. eat smaller meals that are lower in fat
d. eat meals high in fat
e. eat meals low in carbohydrates

c. Eat smaller meals that are lower in fat.

Explanation:it is mostly good to have small constant meals at different times it helps alleviate the symptoms of GERD because if a large meal is eaten all at once that causes the stomach to stretch and push the acid up which makes these symptoms worse .

Fried, greasy, and fatty foods are usually the result of heartburn because they negatively affect the lower esophageal sphincter from fully tightening; hence opening a way for stomach acids to rise upward. It is also very difficult to digest fatty ,heavy foods; so the stomach empties more slowly, which can trigger heartburn.
