Acid Reflux Diet
Q: I have been on the atkins for a year ,lost 22 pounds
now i have reflux ,and it seems very possible the diet is to blame .
it even sas in the litterature they gave me at the hospital with the
medicine ,carbohydrates intake will help the cure of reflux .(also a
depraved intake of carbs can cause the condition )
the doctor thinks the large amount of beefs and chickens is to hard
on the stomach so this is most probably the cause .
also the absence of milk gives up the natural coating of the stomach
lining.
this is a total drag and it really hurts , i have never before this
diet even had heart burn ,so this comes on pretty unexpected .
its pretty serious buisness if i let it go with out the medication
which is very expensive
Does anyone have any comment about this?

what you are rejecting rather than the diet itself. How do you fare
when you emphasize chicken, turkey and extra lean cuts of broiled,
drained
