heartburn :(

[lildanni]

Hve defected from ww to sw. This is my 2nd week on plan. Ever since I started sw (doing extra easy) I hav had the worlds worst heartburn and acid reflux did this happen to anyone else??

Hiya no it hasn't happened to me or my other half and haven't heard anyone else having it either. Maybe it might be a good idea to go to your docs and get some tablets to neutralise the acid, too much acid reflux isn't good for anyone. Boo xx

I have bad heartburn, think it's the acid from all the fruit!! Reflux can be helped by eating slower and having yoghurt with fruit helps.

I have heartburn due to pregnancy and gaviston or milk helps sooth the pain as well

Thanks for all your help! I'm giving it another week or so then going the doctors if it persists!

 

[starting again tomorrow]

I find anything tomato based, soups , white bread..leaving too long of break between meals...oh and orange juice are all things that set off heartburn for me- Maybe if you avoid some of these foods - or keep a diary to see what triggers it for you! I have to say that I don't seem to be suffering heartburn as frequently any more since starting SW- am doing EE. (Strangely!)
Oh and alcohol........ another trigger- especially if I over indulge I suffer with heartburn the next day .....
Hope this helps!

I actually find I rarely get heartburn now I'm on SW - before, I used to suffer from it pretty much constantly.

Most people do find, I think, that they suffer from a bit of an upset/windy tummy for the first few weeks they're on SW, because of the change in diet and the increase in fibre - perhaps your troubles are related to this.

I hope things settle down soon.
