    Heartburn/GERD

    After starting Atkins, my acid reflux mostly disappeared. Now it's back...I don't understand! I'm not eating that much differently. It's gotten so bad I had to buy sugar free Tums which I'm not sure does much anyway.

    I'll have to go see my doc and get Prevacid again. I wish I knew why it came back.

      The only thing I've added are mushrooms... don't think they cause heartburn though. I'm worried it's possibly the pepperoni...however i haven't had any today (or mushrooms) and I have heartburn already. Then again my stomach is really messed up today (nausea) so maybe it's related to a stomach virus. I can't wait to go home.

        Ironically, since starting Atkins my acid reflux has come back with a vengence! I don't know why? I know it's a cycle with me my asthma flares up which triggers my acid reflux. I went to a indoor gun range and the air was getting to me. I am also allergic to sulfate and when I drink a lot of water I can get acid reflux (Im so weird) I think perhaps there is natural sulfate in the water. I started taking Prilosic OTC but does any one have any suggestions?

          My reflux always improves on Atkins. Maybe try checking out a Pur or Brita filter on your water if you think it is the sulfates. It might remove whatever is setting you off.

           It's not about the results. Its about the process.

              Drinking too much water can give you heartburn. I noticed when I go above the 80oz range I begin to have terrible heartburn. If I cut back on my water a bit the heartburn goes away. I remember reading a book called Your Bodies Many Cries For Water; You're Not Sick; You're Just Thirsty and the Dr. that wrote the book said that one major cause of heartburn is drinking too much water; it dilutes the stomach acid too much. That is a really good book and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a very simple solution to quite a few common illnesses; water is so important to the body's systems but it can be overdone, so balance is important! Hope this helps.
