Definitely Potato or anything containing potato.

I would also think tomato? not sure haven't been willing to try it cause of the acidity of it.

I believe apple is one as well, especially store bought as they cook them with the skins on which is full of pectin.

Have you tried cutting out dairy? Just a suggestion, this does work for some who suspect reflux. My children used to scream a lot at night or wake up scream for an hr or so and this was due to their intolerence to certain foods (dairy being the main culprit)

It is heard of that children with dairy allergy tend to have sleeping problems...and my dairy-allergy child who had reflux as baby is a very poor sleeper and still is 2 years on.

They list foods to avoid on this site as far as I can tell they pretty much say don't eat anything LOL

I think that Violette was much worse last night because I had spinach and feta pie and probably a bit too much chocolate. :(
