Re: Re: Is it time to change antibiotic/Low Carb Diets

[Guest guest]

ELFMARGE's statement below prodded me that I should mention I used to suffer

from extreme GERD/Heartburn...for a long time I had heartburn everyday...I

thought it was fairly normal...I was eventually put on Prilosec to control this

which helped quite a bit BUT.....the thing that REALLY helped was when I cut way

way back on the carbs (both simplex and complex)...including sugar....a week or

so after I switched to the Low Carb diet I noticed I wasn't getting heartburn

any longer....I don't ever even take my heartburn medication any longer EXCEPT

when I eat carbs....

It took me a week or so to get used to not taking in carbs (or very few) but

I soon found I no longer craved them much...Now I do, from time to time, jump

off the wagen for a meal or two to eat pasta, bread or some of the great cookies

my daughter bakes but I am no longer addicted to carbs...

Blessings and Health!

rheumatic Re: Is it time to change antibiotic?

Hi Shirley,

I would also look into a yeast issue as this can compromise the AP. I

know for me I thought I was flaring again as the yeats was so bad.

Much acidophilus as well as a good low carb diet is becessary and

eliminating sugars.

This helps a lot and you may not need anything additional!

Love

Marge
