How long does it take for you to realize if cutting something off your diet helps?

Since I feel like some foods can take days to affect my GERD it can be difficult to tell what helps and what doesn’t.

I've started changes in my diet with an "acid reflux detox" for a month, which meant eating a very limited group of foods that most definitiely shouldn't cause acid reflux and drinking pretty much only water, after that I've started slowly introducing stuff that potentially could cause acid reflux and observing how I feel, in my case I get acid reflux almost immediately after eating something that I shouldn't, so it's quite easy to eliminate.
