List all the food items that may contribute to GG's condition and explain why
High-fat fast foods and fried foods: these have been eliminated in the past because they were believed to slow down digestion, causing a bloated feeling or "heart burn.". They are not eliminated today unless they cause an individual a problem but GG should be advised to eat less of these foods for general health reasons, even if she did not have gastritis.
Coffee and chocolate: because of the caffeine content these should be eliminated. Caffeine causes additional HCl secretion.
Rum: Alcohol also causes HCl secretion.
Chocolate and alcohol: relaxes the cardiac sphincter and could cause regurgitation.
