Of course you can, and you certainly need to eat food to live.
However there is a need to manage the GERD symptoms. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can result in painful acid reflux which over a period of time can cause erosion of the esophagus (gullet or food pipe). This can result in a life threatening hole in the esophagus or esophageal cancer.
