I tried looking up keto recipes, and a lot of them use cauliflower. I have never tried cauliflower before, but I suppose it could be a good start. You can apparently use it to make breads, pizza crusts, "mac & cheese," "mashed potatoes," etc..

The goal is not to lose weight, but to stop the puking in my mouth, which happened again this morning (at work). Though, I didn't eat anything when I puked, and hadn't eaten anything since 3pm yesterday, so I don't know what gives. Maybe keto or lo-carb wouldn't 100% solve the puking, but I think carbs aren't helping (based on what you guys have been saying and what I have been reading).

I'd like to try this diet change first before considering going back on a PPI like protonix. I definitely don't want esophageal cancer, though.
I know you like pasta, so I wanted to mention Barilla makes pasta made from red lentils and another kind made from chick peas. When you pair it with sauce it tastes like regular pasta. My kids are supwr picky and they like it. That may be worth a try. It is with the regular past in my store and it comes in a tan box.

I've use cauliflower for mashed potatoes before. It is pretty good. I actually like it better when I do half potato half cauliflower.

I hope this new approach can work for you
