The classic American breakfast may consist of orange juice, eggs, toast, and bacon, sausage, or ham, but a reflux-free breakfast should avoid citrus and high-fat, processed meats. Those breakfast meats aren’t healthy anyway. As alternatives, this chapter has some wonderfully delicious—and very simple to prepare—recipes that will keep breakfast interesting. Preparing them in the slow cooker allows you to have hot, healthy breakfasts ready for you when you wake up, making it even easier to eat well.

Orange juice is something you may just have to learn to live without. But if you can’t bear to give up coffee or tea, limit yourself to a single cup a day, and go ahead and indulge.
