Question 2

M.L. is a 34-year-old male computer programmer with a BMI of 26 who is seeking dietary counseling. His dose of Prilosec was recently increased, and although he now suffers less often from heartburn symptoms, he is also leery of medical side effects and would like any and all suggestions to manage his GERD naturally. Having had GERD for the past eight years and been on some form of antacid or antisecretory medication continuously during that time, M.L. knows what foods or factors cause symptoms, and is able to generally avoid them; hence, he has not had reflux esophagitis in over a year. A 24-hour diet history reveals M.L. ate these foods yesterday:
  Breakfast: Skipped
  Snack: Fresh pear; instant oatmeal made with water, eaten with brown sugar and two non-dairy creamers; skim milk
  Lunch: Lean turkey lunch meat on whole-grain bread with lettuce, tomato, and mustard; 100 grape juice diluted with water; snack pack of carrots, no dressing
  Snack: Sugar cookies; skim milk
  Dinner: Tempura (deep-fried, breaded) salmon; buttered rice; salad with lettuce and tomato; vinegar and oil dressing; water
  Snack, at bedtime: Ginger ale and ginger snap cookies
  The medication M.L. takes is a proton-pump inhibitor medication that works by:
 
 a. decreasing gastric acid production.
  b. neutralizing gastric acid.
  c. coating the esophagus.
  d. preventing tissue inflammation.
