Acid Watcher Diet - Anyone?
Hey all. Been diagnosed with acid reflux. No chest pain, heavy on the coughing and throat pain from time to time, as well as the throat clearing. I think I probably have LPR which my doctor said is harder to diagnose in comparison to the more common GERD form of reflux. Currently on rabeprozale and I’m still struggling with my symptoms a lot it seems. So now I’m really looking to make changes to my diet.
Has anyone in here gone on the acid watcher diet and stuck to it for an extended period of time? And if so how did it work out for you, when did you start to notice a change in your symptoms, etc.
I’ve been looking into going on this particular diet as I’ve really been struggling with chronic throat clearing and cough the past few months. It seems to have gotten worse the last few weeks, the cough especially. I often feel like there’s a lot of mucus and such stuck at the back of my throat too, which maybe due to my reflux or my seasonal allergies or both. So willing to try any diet that potentially really works.
Only thing I’m not sure about is the fact that it makes people lose so much weight due to the foods you eat while on the diet. I’m a pretty skinny, tall dude and I’ve been trying to eat more do that I can gain some muscle and weight, but due to my jobs that’s been pretty difficult already, nevermind the fact if I’m going to try this diet that has resulted in so many people losing 10-20+ lbs from what I’ve read a lot of.
