Acid Reflux Prescription Medication
One of the great benefits of Atkins for me was curing my heartburn and acid
reflux.I Hadn't taken Tums in more than 3 years. Then over New Year's weekend I
went overboard on the carbs. Probably 60g or more for a few days. I normally
stay under 30g. Two nights I had heartburn and one night I had acid reflux.
That alone is enought to get me back on the straight and narrow.
Does anyone here have any comments about this?
That's one of the reasons why I like this diet. I used to have acid
reflux 2 or 3 times a week with no apparent link to which food(s) it could
be. I have not had a single bout of it since lo-carbing. I suspect it was
grains but did not experiment to identify it for sure. It could also have
been the weight of my stomach pulling to one side. All I know is that I no
longer have this problem.
My brother also has acid reflux, but uses a prescription medication to
keep it under control. I've been trying to convince him to try lo-carb, but
he believes all the negative media about the diet and doesn't want to try it
right now.
