Cruciferous vegetables
The article lists onions as a cruciferous vegetable. They aren't! But perhaps onions are linked to GERD anyway? Could someone who knows more about the impact of onions edit this to show thwe impact of onions without suggesting that they are members of the brassica family?

Treatment
Non pharmacological treatment of GERD Fromhttps://www.webmd.com/heartburn-gerd/features/11-meal-planning-tips-prevent-heartburn
 * Avoid eating large meals because the more volume in the stomach, the more likely the stomach contents will splash toward the LES. Try eating four to five small meals instead of two or three large ones.
 * Chew gum (a nonpeppermint flavor) after meals to stimulate saliva production (the bicarbonate in saliva neutralizes acid) and increase peristalsis (which helps move the stomach contents into the small intestine more quickly).
 * Drink a small glass of water at the end of meals to help dilute and wash down any stomach acid that might be splashing up into the esophagus, suggests Shekhar Challa, MD, president of Kansas Medical Clinic and author of Spurn The Burn: Treat The Heat.

vitamin b12 deficiency
People with GERD are more likely to be prone to a Vitamin B12 deficiency, can someone mention that with citations pretty please. I'd do it myself but I don't know all the rules to do it right, and I won't be at this IP address long enough to check messages.
