Re: Is it bad to stay in induction indefinitely?

Thank you so much for the quick reply, i think the main reason why i stopped ( and probably will again) is because of stomach acid. I have hardcore stomach acid and since i'm on atkins it's gotten way worse i don't know why and i've been taking anti acids and i started to have chest pains and was really really nauseous.

I swear by Prelief (from the Beano folks). It takes the acid out of food and is the best known acid fighter for food acids.

Acid blockers (such as Tagamet, Zantac, Pepsid, Prilosec, Nexium, etc.) shut down your stomach's acid. But stomach acid is essential to both your digestion and your body's defense mechanism against bacteria; stomach acid is actually a first stop in the body’s germ-defense system. When your stomach’s acid is shut down, ingested bacteria may survive in the stomach and then work their way back up your esophagus and into your lungs or down into the intestinal tract or kidneys. Prelief is the only acid fighter that takes out food acid while leaving your protective stomach acid untouched.

Prelief is available online or at local pharmacies such as Walgreens. It comes in tablets, powder (that you sprinkle on food) and in little pocket powder squeeze bottles. Well worth checking out.

According to my GI. Heartburn in those under 50 is often too much stomach acid and those over 50 too little (assuming no meds were taken that affected stomach acid). As we age our stomach acid decreases.
