CrystalC Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm on day 16 of my whole30 and have been experiencing heartburn lately. I've never had it in my life and am wondering if others have experienced this or if anyone knows why this may be happening? The only thing I can think is that my stomach is empty more often than it used to be as I used to eat little bits through out the day and now I often go hours between eating.

kadybug Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I am on Day 10 and have had heartburn daily and after every meal. I take Prevails daily for gastric reflux. Antacids have sugar or artificial sweetener and soy. Hope we get answers soon Crystal! Karen Link to comment
Carlaccini Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Basically heartburn is a signal of low stomach acid (the opposite of what we are led to believe). So what you want to do is build up your stomach acid so it is able to digest better. Some people have luck with adding digestive enzymes in, or adding some healthy probiotics to help with overall gut flora. We recommend getting probiotics in fermented food form - like, sauerkraut, kimchi, or kombucha - before going for the pill form. If either one of these don't work then the next step is to take a Hcl supplement. Link to comment
