HE diet side effects?

[HKF1120]

Hi,

I have been on the HE diet for roughly the last 4 weeks and for the past couple days I have had terrible indigestion and heartburn. Have other people experienced this? If not, I need to make an appointment to see my dr!

Thanks!

Most of the He side effects have been beneficial for me but I too have had a lot more heartburn & indigestion than normal.
I am forcing my self to eat food that my body wouldn't choose naturally so I haven't been too surprised.
I did figure out that I have an intolerance to almonds while on HE. Too many peanuts upset my stomach too....those things are related to my gluten intolerance so it comes with the territory.
HTH!

I think a lot of it has to do with the amount of food we are consuming while on the HE diet. I had heartburn almost everyday, I knew it was from the V8 juice and orange juice, stuff with a lot of acid in it effects most people. Are you drinking a lot of juices and eating lots of fruit?

Yes, I don't think that's abnormal but at the same time it's odd that it just started suddenly - have you been eating anything unusual the last few days or going to sleep with a really full stomach??

Tell me about the supps you are taking and I can see if there's anything that can contribute.

I have to agree with Dloui, just the volume of food we are eating, and the type of food has a lot to do with our stomach not agreeing.

As I was munching on my evening snack last night I told DH, "I can't wait to diet again, I really miss feeling hungry like I used to." I never thought I would say that....normally, I hate dieting! Now, I look forward to it!
