Calorie Load Issue
Been a full year now of silent reflux. Zero heartburn. From what I can tell after tracking calories and intake for a year, heavy calorie loads after 3-4 pm are a no go and can result in my nighttime flares. The flares are rough and destroy sleep and intake the next day. I’m active 4-5 days a week but hard to get enough daily calories. Down over 20 lbs.
Normal gastric emptying test. Normal endoscopy and colonoscopy. Tried the PPI meds with zero improvement. I have a small hiatal hernia like the rest of the world.
The onset was completely random after 45 years of zero reflux. Been a battle for a year.
Any success stories out there? I know everyone is different but not seeing any upside and it’s debilitating.
I don’t have trigger foods, it’s late calorie load. Can feel great until I don’t.
