How long have you been taking probiotics, and what dosage? The symptoms you list are common side effects of taking probiotics.

I'm a long time sufferer of GERD / acid reflux and occasional food choking / hard swallowing. Been on Prevacid for many years, and different meds for the choking. While the choking has been under control without meds for some time now, I have not had any reflux issues while doing W30, (day 32) and stopped taking meds for it on day 2. I've long suspected that mine was from something associated with wheat and/or sugars. None of my doctors on this had ever asked what I was eating nor suggested an elimination trial to figure it out! Sorry to hear that some are dealing this while on W30.

I too miss crunchy stuff, but I don't crave it. You can oven roast thinly sliced veggies, potato skins, bussels sprouts leaves, kale, etc, as compliant crunchy things!

I'm on day 6: no more GERD/acid reflux & more energy throughout the day.

It funny in a sad way that so many people think of 'eating healthy' as a bad thing!
