GERD Diet

Diet changes often play a key role in helping manage GERD. You may be able to reduce heartburn by changing what, when, and how much you eat.

Pregnancy Diet

A healthy diet during pregnancy contains plenty of vitamins, minerals, protein, and water. It also provides the right number of calories to help you and your baby gain the correct amount of weight.

Lactation Diet

Your breastmilk is the ideal food for your baby. It gives your baby the right amounts of protein, carbohydrate, fat, water, and other nutrients. Eating a balanced, healthy diet while breastfeeding can do the same for you.

Controlled-Protein Diet

If you have chronic kidney disease (CKD), too much protein can be harmful. Your healthcare provider may recommend reducing your protein intake.

Diet for Crohn's Disease

No single eating plan works well for everyone with Crohn’s. But there are certain diet changes that often help with specific issues.

Low-FODMAP Diet

A low-FODMAP diet can help pinpoint the foods that are setting off your IBS symptoms. That way, you can skip these specific foods without limiting you diet too much.

Diet for Dialysis

Now that you’re on dialysis, your diet needs have changed. Knowing which foods to eat and which foods to limit can help you feel better at this stage of kidney disease.

PKU Diet

The key to staying healthy with PKU is limiting how much Phe you consume.

Diet for Iron-Deficiency Anemia

If you have iron-deficiency anemia, your healthcare provider may tell you to eat more iron-rich foods.

Anti-inflammatory Diet

This diet involves choosing a healthy variety of foods. It focuses on foods that may help reduce chronic (long-lasting) inflammation, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

High-Protein Diet for Wound Care

If you have a hard-to-heal wound, your healthcare provider may advise you to eat more protein.

Stabilization Diet After Bariatric Surgery

This diet focuses on foods that are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. It also stresses drinking plenty of water between meals.

Post-Op Diet After Bariatric Surgery

This short-term diet takes you through the 4 to 6 weeks right after weight-loss surgery. It helps you gradually ease back into eating solid foods.

Dementia and a Healthy Diet: Tips for Caregivers

People with dementia, like all of us, need a varied, balanced diet. But they may also need to make changes in what or how they eat. The goal is to help deal with specific eating challenges, such as trouble swallowing or lack of appetite.
