Last summer I started a really good induction, and about a week into it my stomach and chest started hurting really badly - diagnosis was pre-ulcer and acid reflux.
I ended up on the BRAT diet that babies go on - bananas, rice, applesauce and toast - all straight carbs.
Day 6 I started feeling the esophogas spasms 3 hours after lunch so I knew it was acid, but took my prevacid and ignored it further.
Day 7, I just about blacked out from stomach pain. Granted, I didn't eat very much today - breakfast was 1.5 cups of left over homemade cream of chicken soup, the company brought in rice bowl for lunch, so I ate celery, peapods and grape tomatoes with homemade salmon dill dip that I made from canned salmon, dried dill chives and cream cheese - I wasn't hungry for the salami I had tucked away for emergencies - and I just got progressively sicker as the afternoon went on.
I ate a couple of pieces of steamed broccoli, a couple bites of steamed cabbage, some mushrooms and chicken in a low carb chinese stir fry - but
couldn't eat more than a couple of bites.
I know this program works and I probably have to give up the crunch on the celery - but how do I get through this without serious stomach trouble?
