Can people with gastroesophageal reflux disease eat watermelon?

Patient's question:

Since I was a child, my stomach has been particularly bad. Back then, I didn't dare to eat spicy food or cold things. Now, with more work and higher pressure, my health has worsened, and I have developed gastroesophageal reflux disease. Hello doctor, can people with gastroesophageal reflux disease eat watermelon?

Doctor's answer:

Regarding gastroesophageal reflux disease, it is often caused by excessive gastric acid secretion or local healing issues. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods, as well as prolonged excessive hunger, including hard and cold foods. Specific attention should be given to clinical diagnosis, appropriate exercise, and avoiding prolonged left lateral lying position.
