Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Yes, I have it, or a hiatus hernia - not sure yet. I've been battling it for about 4 months now and it isn't pleasant. I started on Pantoloc about 30 days ago which has helped alot as the OTC meds weren't even touching it. I found the recommendations for smaller, more frequent meals very amusing! Laurie GERD-Acid Reflux????? Ok it appears I may have this fun " disease " rather than Gallbladder problems. Funny how it's suggested to eat 5 small meals a day and eat clean foods to keep it under control... It's like BFL was prescribed just for me...Does anyone have this in this group??

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Yes me too...=) I've noticed a sore throat often after I eat and pains in my chest... Those are the worst symptoms for me. I am going to go to a specialist and see what they say. It's very annoying and I never thought I would get it but as luck would have it. ..

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Um ... yes, and no. I had it, and had to take medication for years, and had to elevate the head of my bed. Then I started low-carbing last year, (before I discovered BFL and EFL, which I am just now exploring and learning about) and my reflux went away. I have finally figured out that, in my case, it's triggered by certain refined grains, and wheat appears to be one of the " biggies " for me. I haven't taken any kind of reflux medication for over a year now. I'm sure eating smaller, more frequent meals has something to do with it, but I'm also convinced that learning to " eat clean " plays an even bigger role in it. In my case, the low-carbing and clean eating is to control my diabetes (Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution) but I've realized that increasing my muscle mass and reducing my body fat might help me get my diabetes (type 2) into remission, hence my interest in BFL and EFL.
