Question about fasting.

 Hi, I have kind of a strange question. For 3 days this week my church family has been asked to fast for a little boy that has competed all the cancer treatment available for his brain cancer. Its a sad story. My question is...has anyone tried to fast before with a band? I'm on day 2 of the 3 day fast and I have reflux horribly. So I'm wondering if this is something that I'm not really supposed to be doing. Told you it was a weird question.

I haven't tried it since being banded but logically I would have thought it OK.

However, one of the causes of me getting mild reflux is if I forget to eat. I have always assumed it is something to do with the acid having nothing to work on! But that's a totally non medical thought!

Bu you don't want another day of bad reflux. Could you phone your clinic?

Im not sure if this helps but after banded i went 5 days just on water and tea and crystal light...and they were doctors orders

If you are intent on finishing the fast maybe get some antiacids or ask your doc or pharmacist what a good acid blocker is. I agree with Kate that the acid probably just doesn't have anything to do so builds up.
