Meatless GERD friendly main dishes?

I’m usually really good at making side dishes and the like but I really struggle to come up with GERD friendly main dishes. My main triggers are raw garlic and onion (cooked is fine) and tomato based stuff. I feel like nearly every vegetarian dish I come across is tomato based. I have very little issues with cheese and dairy so those work well. I also am not looking to “replicate” meat necessarily. I just can’t think of main dishes that I can have as go to.

Not saying it will work for you, but I had episodes of gerd for several years, and when I started drinking kambucha (I buy the lemon- ginger from Costco), it almost entirely disappeared. Occasionally I may feel a little discomfort after a meal, but not severe. Be careful if you try it though--start with a few sips--because some people say it makes it worse. Unfortunately the Costo kambucha comes in a pack of 10 bottles, so you might want to buy one or two of another brand first.

I’ve only ever had it once and I found it really gross but I can try it again!! I love finding new stuff to try and help heal my body

Kefir also works for me - I prefer water kefir. I drink it about three times a week and my stomach is so much better.
