Rich, savory gravy is one of those comfort-food staples that can feel completely off-limits when you're managing acid reflux ā most versions are loaded with onion, garlic, and heavy cream, all classic triggers. This one skips every common culprit and still delivers deep, satisfying flavor. Earthy cremini mushrooms and fragrant fresh thyme do the heavy lifting, building a gravy that tastes genuinely complex without relying on anything that tends to cause trouble. Finely diced celery adds a subtle savory backbone, and a small splash of low-sodium tamari rounds out the umami without overwhelming the dish. The technique is straightforward: cook the mushrooms until properly browned, toast the flour briefly to knock out any raw taste, then whisk in the broth slowly for a silky, lump-free result. It makes six servings, so it's an easy option to prep ahead and spoon over mashed potatoes, roasted chicken, or whatever else needs a little something extra on the plate.
