Hi!  I am on day three and doing pretty well.  Diet is going well, bath is fantastic.  But...today after I ate lunch (I chose the white bean stew with some brown rice in it) and I have horrible heartburn!!  I took my probiotics as usual and although I normally have acid reflux, it has been gone since I began this diet two days ago.  Today it is back with a vengence!  Anyone have any clues as to why?

Thanks,  Lollybaby

Are you sure it is just

Are you sure it is just heartburn? Is it relieved with medication? Are you doing the olive oil and lemon? I know that I am asking a lot of questions, but I experienced a similar sequence of event and ended up having my gallbladder removed. 

Before you overreact, if you normally take medication for acid reflux, you most likely need to continue and/or add digestive enzymes in addition to the probiotics. You also might try eliminating the olive oil/lemon mixture, since it may stimulate any gallstone you may have to be passed and even though lemons are an alkaline food they may stimulate your stomach. One other thing to consider is the garlic and onions that are in the broth and I believe in the white bean soup too. Since I had my gallbladder removed, I can now eat many food that I had to avoid and I rarely take medication, but garlic and onions will irritate my stomach.

On the other side of the coin is the potential that you are too alkaline. Have you ever done the vinager test? If your heartburn clears up in 20-30 minutes after drinking a spoonful than your too alkaline, but if it gets worse your acidic. I could never tolerate oil and vinager dressing or balsamic vinager dressings, so I knew I was acidic without the test. I hope this helps, but if not, you may do better on the Ultra Metabolism plan. The health benefits are very similar, but the weight loss is a little slower and easier on your system.

One day at a time to a healthier life.

Well...I do have acid reflux but no virus in my stomach.  I just had one of those tubes down the throat to check that.  I was on Nexium to clear the esphagos and my doctor wanted me to stay on it, but I think that is too dangerous.  I don't really have any pain in my gallbladder and besides, I would not have mine out.  I would try other methods first.  I had not thought of doing an acid/alkaline test!!  Good idea and I will do that!!  I already planned on going on the Ultra Metabolism diet after one week doing this one.  No heartburn today.  I tried NOT doing the olive oil and lemon this morning just to see what happens today.  I also quit doing the flax in my shake because it was too much for my bowels.

So....still doing well and still loosing weight!!  I feel pretty good today!

Thank you for the advice!!

Peace, Jackie (Lollybaby)

Hello Lolly!  I'm on day three as well and had a bit of reflux myself.  I think it is the sheer VOLUME of what I'm eating.  A lot more bulk and fiber than usual.  Maybe that's what is causing the trouble with you and a more gradual approach would help.  Good luck, and I'd love to hear from you as we both move along at the same pace!
