Hi Anon,

If your Idiopathic Pulmonary Disease is caused by GERD then you will need to eliminate certain foods/fruits and makea few lifestyle changes.

Avoid foods that may cause symptoms, such as:
High-fat foods
Fried foods
Spicy foods
Onions and garlic
Chocolate
Peppermint
Citrus fruits
Tomatoes
Peppers
Alcohol
Coffee
Carbonated drinks
Eat smaller portions.
Allow at least 2-3 hours between meals and lying down.
Lose weight .
If you smoke, quit .
Avoid belts and clothing that are too tight. This may increase pressure on the abdomen.
Elevate head of bed 6-8 inches.

You can take a multivitamin daily, if you wish. However, if you really want something that will help improve your symptoms, please speak to your doctor about medication or changing your medication if it isn't helping you.

Best Wishes,

Rosa
