Try having a couple slices of turkey or chicken in the evening. Some folks find their reflux is triggered by fats or starches. Mine is triggered by sugar/refined starch. If you eat a lot of GF breads, most of them are chock full of refined starches. My own personal remedy? 4% milkfat cottage cheese (large curd--taste/ texture preference). I also use whole milk or cream instead of skim (lower fat milks have more lactose, a milk *sugar*). Sometimes, a slice of turkey will help, now that I eat meat again. If you have extended problems (more than a couple weeks), see your doctor. Some folks need a course of meds like Prilosec. My reflux is constant, so I need meds. With the meds, I still need to avoid starch/sugar, because the GERD will still act up--the meds barely control it. I also find that a protein drink (no sugar) helps. I make mine with whey protein and coconut or nut milk. Sometimes I add wholefat yogurt. When the reflux isn't being naughty, I add frozen berries. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I also had it for the first time while pregnant, and it went away afterwards. When I went back on gluten for my tests, I had heartburn all the time. It stopped as soon as I went GF again. Trudy reflux Does anyone have/had trouble with acid reflux? I have never had it or heartburn or anything like that except for when I got pregnant. Then I had it every night. Just the last couple of days I have had it and it's so horrible. I don't how people can deal with that all of the time. I constantly feel like I am going to throw up. Anyway, I was wondering if I somehow got glutened and it's affecting me like that for some reason or what. I am pretty positive I am not pregnant, so that's ruled out. Weird???

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I was starting to have reflux frequently the months before going gf. It wasn't the burning type, but rather the kind that feels like a lump under my sterum and air coming up when I tried to fall asleep at night. It's not been a problem since gf, but the last time I accidently got gluten, the problem was back. Trudy Verzosa wrote: I also had it for the first time while pregnant, and it went away afterwards.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Rhiannon, Like your name, btw. YES I had reflux really bad before I was diagnosed. I didn't even realize that is what it was, but the GI said that my esophagus was getting eatten away and I had to take a prescription to heal it and prevent further reflux. I took something for about 3 months, then the insurance company refused to pay for it, so I started taking over the counter, Tagiment, I think. I am completely off all meds for that now, and feeling great. You might want to take something over the counter for at least a month or two to heal, then staying gf should keep it from coming back. I am not a doctor, and I don't play one on tv, so this is just my "been there done that" advise! Hope you feel better soon!Sonja Message: 10 Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 02:30:41 -0000From: "Rhiannon" Subject: refluxDoes anyone have/had trouble with acid reflux?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Definitely not weird, likely! I used to have TERRIBLE trouble with reflux, (burping, PAINFUL heartburn and late night gas bubbles, lump in my sternum, as well as flatulence.) I NEVER related it to a food allergy or anything. Everyone (health care workers) always said it was related to being overweight...(I am soooooo sick of people blaming everything on excess weight!!) However, I weight the SAME as I have for a long time, yet after going GF, those symptoms are GONE. I don have them when I get glutened though. That is one of the BIG signs to me! I often burp within minutes of eating something with some sort of hidden gluten!...and if I can, I go check a label...and find I have missed something very minor...but enough for me to react! I also RARELY have gas...I used to have it constantly! (sooooo glad that is gone!) But if I have it now, it is often related to something being cross contaminated. These symptoms have been a HUGE indicator for me...and I am learning because of paying attention to them!
