It also sounds to me like a very high UPF (Ultra Processed Food) diet they’re feeding them. I have done very well on LCHF for about 7 years now. I have MS so know lots about brain shrinkage (!) but seriously my brain is doing extremely well on it and so is the rest of me including losing over 4...

Thank you for taking this time for me I guess like a lot of us I am very hard on myself . I have noticed some other things too so I guess I may wait another week or so and then maybe talk about changing drugs.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out. There’s some really good tips there, exercise is difficult when you have MS but the rest sounds like a really good idea. I’ll try mixing things up a bit and see what happens.

I lost 4 and half stone over 2 years ago and have managed to keep it off and keep my weight steady for those 2 years. Then this year I’ve had to give in to taking PREGABALIN for my MS and seizures. I’m trying everything but my weight has crept up by 8lb over the last year, 3 of them in one week...

Thank you I’ll get it all checked out I’m aware if this but it’s so hard when GPS don’t support and your in pain! My main pain was much higher and across my chest so just below the throat and radiating across the very top ribs both sides just into the right shoulder. It made it difficult to...

Thanks for the suggestion, I hope your OH gets sorted out. My daughter suffers gall stones so I’ve seen how painful they can be. Has he ever tried IF or is it a non/starter because I’m beginning to think it might be i.e. no food in tummy the acid gets busy?

BTW they likened what I had to a severe chemical burn which needed strong acids suppression so as not to continue burning (PPI) and lotion to soother the burn (Gaviscon).

Thanks @DCUKMod, that’s a useful tip re: changes to threads. I’ll mention gall bladder to my GP next time and see what they think. Would the meds affect gall bladder pain? The meds have definitely cleared up the soreness inside my oesophagus that came with the pain. I’m on 30mg Lanzaprazole...

@DCUKMod, I’m so sorry about the earlier post, I changed the title as I thought I may have the subjects the wrong way around on this forum. But thank you so much for persevering for me, I appreciate it. I’m very new here and feeling my way around. No my gall bladder has not been checked, but...

Is there anyone here who has GERD (GastroEsophagal Reflux Disease) and/or Hiatus Hernia ((HH) who is also trying Intermittent Fasting? Has it helped or made things worse? I have been doing IF for 16/18 hours overnight from dinner at 6ish until noon next day. I must add here that I’ve been on...

Thank you I will do that - thanks for answering anyway

We I’ve just realised how old the original post was you can tell I’m a newbie not much point in hoping for answers on this one !

Thank you, at 64 I spent my entire life eating HCLF and struggled with yo-yo dieting, willpower I had in droves but it always failed. This way of eating has revolutionised my health and weight. Except the GH and GERD, but I keep hoping

I’m not sure, I’ve had ‘IBS’ a sort of non- diagnosis as a ‘neurotic woman’ docs term not mine, for about 30 years. The HH and GERD was discovered in a routine endoscopy for chronic cough. I’m keeping a food diary at the moment to see if I can find any triggers.

I should have added all this is after losing 6 stone on LCHF! And I’ve been doing 16 hours IF for about 6 months and ignoring the acid by drinking water.
