Does LC make heartburn go away?

judybird2 · 06-28-2009, 05:59 PM

This is my third time on Atkins and I have noticed all three times that my chronic heartburn always goes away. Is this typical? Before this I usually had to take antacids practically everyday.

It does for me, and if i consume carbs it comes right back. Although i have stopped consuming many of the things that caused it as i eat mainly protein and mild veggies. I have not really gotten to the point where i am going to integrate some of my old foods, but we will see...

I often times get hearburn from sugars (jams and jelly's come to mind quickly).

Absolutely...the only times I get heartburn are when I eat off plan. I think there are lots of people on this board who will tell you the same. Isn't it great?

It does for me too! I was getting heartburn bad until I started back on LC

Agreed, it stays gone as long as I eat correctly.

Oh my gosh I remember the pain after drinking coffee and eating a piece of wheat toast for breakfast. Torch in the neck, anyone?

Definitely, yes. I never got it that much, but never do when lowcarbing. My husband has had way more issues with heartburn/indigestion and it always comes right back when he starts eating too many carbs.

Yes it does, in fact in the Atkins book Dr Atkins says that it is one of the first illnesses that you will see results with. I have had acid reflux over the years, especially during pregnancy where the acid will shoot up my throat and make it so sore that I cannot talk all day. This only happens when I eat high carb
