No Time for Heartburn
Heartburn-Easing Foods That Fight GERD

Applesauce
Butter and oil are known to trigger heartburn, but that doesn't mean you have to forgo all your favorite foods. Just substitute applesauce for oil, which will reduce fat and add a shot of fiber to baked goods. A common rule of thumb—use the same amount of applesauce (in cups) as the recipe calls for in oil, but you may need to fine-tune some recipes to get the consistency just right.
