1. The GERD is likely not going to disappear completely

and that's the bad news. The other bad news is that you're going to have to keep a food diary for a few weeks, keeping a record of which foods are trigger foods for you. Expect some of the trigger foods to be on the list of preferred foods and some of the "bad" foods to be completely tolerable.

My own worst triggers are canola oil and wheat, both of which give me an erupting volcano under my sternum and are just not worth it. Chocolate is a minor trigger and worth it.

The only way to know what your trigger foods are is to keep that diary and noting your symptoms. Who knows? Beer might be on your list of good foods and some of the bland stuff might be triggers.
