issue with gastroesophageal reflux!!
i've been told that i have gastroesophageal reflux.
is this normal for DSers?
How do i avoid this? I've been told to cut down on fatty foods - but i need it for my fat intake.
I have also been told to avoid eating after dinner. But to be honest, i'll probably snack right before i sleep, if i'm hungry. Can anyone sleep hungry?
thanks.
I can't speak for all DS, but that was an issue for me from day 2-3 after my surgery! I initially blamed interest in the iron pill I took right before bed on an upset stomach. NOT something I would suggest. But some may be fine.
I rarely ever had reflux prior to my surgery. I did almost nightly for the first 4 weeks. I was told the same thing didn't eat right before you sleep or within two hours of sleeping.
The Randidine my surgeon prescribed was very helpful. As well waiting for 2 hours before I went to bed. or learning how to fall asleep sitting up.
II personally am on my 7th week post surgery. I like a popsicle before bed. If I only do one and not two... reflux is minimal
for me the further out the weeks went and I had more options, I have had less reflux sometimes I eat too late and it hurts/have reflux for me I have found the further out I am, I can eat more at dinner which sustains me longer
unless of cultures I stay up until 2, 3 or 4pm that's when my stomach growls at me!
My hunger levels have changed, are not consistent and can depend on what I have eating hopefully your reflux will calm down like mine did and it will less often an issue for you!
Best of luck! On your weight loss journey!
