I haven't heard folks complaining about it. Maybe it has to do with what you are eating. Could you post what you had befor ethe problem started for you??

Oh, I had terrible heartburn the first week I was on this WOL. I never got it before, and I didn't know what to do!! Drink a large glass of water, and it will go away. I haven't had a single problem after that first week. I thought I was the only one who had that problem. It will go away.

i think it can depend alot on what you are eating. It may take your body a couple weeks to get used to the new way of eating also, make sure you drink your water!

Hi! Funny that you should mention that because yesterday I was just thinking to myself that I haven't suffered with heartburn since I re-inducted Atkins at the end of January. Think if you just keep with it, the heartburn should stop soon. I do recommend the Pepcid AC that you can take immediately. It works for 24 hours and you can take it either before the heartburn sets in or after you already have it. Good luck with that.

My heartburn went away with Atkins. I agree lets see what you are eating

A couple of things. If you are eating atkins bars or other low carb bars, I had the same problem. Processed food will act differently with different people, so i would look there first. Drinking water is your best bet, and cola ( diet or regular ) is never a good idea because of the carbonation.

Lastly, do you chew gum a lot? Chewing gum can cause heart burn because once you start chewing your body prepares for digestion assuming you are eating. Acid is released to aid in digestion and this could be a cause of the problem.

If you are eating a healthy low carb diet consisting mainly of veggies, meats, and cheese along with plenty of water, it shouldn't be a problem for long.

My heart burn went away, I had it so bad it made me cough...for years, I kept rolaids in business....I haven't suffered from heart burn in 2 years thanks to Atkins. It just gets better!~ Before atkins, a glass of water would cause h eart burn for me, acid reflux. Thats just sad. I hope you find whats causing it for you and cut it out! lol
Good luck!
