Eating raw vegetables or fruits give me really bad heartburn. Any ideas why this is?

Additional info: This condition has affected me most my life, but has gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. It started when I was around 7 and I am now 24 years old. Almost any uncooked fruit or vegetable gives me heartburn. This includes both highly acidic and highly basic fruits and vegetables (everything from oranges to bananas). The heartburn is incredibly debilitating. Often times, I find myself feeling extremely nauseous and produce immense amounts of very thin saliva.

Most the time, if it is cooked or preserved or frozen, the food does not cause me heartburn.

Also, foods which normally give people heartburn (caffeine, spicy foods, greasy foods, etc.) do not affect me in a negative way.

I am currently taking 600 mg of ranitidine everyday. It helps sometimes, but I can’t really count on it to help all the time.

I really want to get back to eating healthy as I feel the lack of fruits and veggies is taking its toll on my body.

Please help!

Do you think that colleges need to have better food options available for the students they serve?

I think that colleges need to have better food options available for their students in three ways. One was is to have a variety of options and using the food pyramid as a guide. By having variety, you have more grains available along with a good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh dairy and poultry options and limit the use of fats, oils, and sweets. Another way is not having the food be a buffet style (like the Golden Corral for example) and instead a student can only has to go in line only once and tell a cafeteria worker what they would like to eat because if a student eats way too many calories in a day and they are unable to burn off the calories, they will gain weight. Finally, universities need to ask students what kind of options they would like to see available at the school so that the college cooks for what is in the students interest.
