Thank you for posting this. I’m on day 12 of a diet to control my reflux symptoms and I feel awful and run down. Was worried I’d never hit that ‘increased energy’ I had read about.
I’m on day 12 of a diet to control my reflux symptoms and I feel awful and run down.
I have a family trait of reflux too. I have been able to largely alleviate it not with diet restrictions, but timing of consumption of foods and specific triggers. I like chocolate, which is a very clear trigger. Not being able to eat chocolate again would be a huge challenge for me, but knowing I just can’t eat chocolate within 5 hours or going to bed helps immensely.

I haven’t heard of decreased energy as a consequence of reflux. Or does this mean an “increase energy” from an otherwise more healthy diet you’re on which you’re doing to address your reflux?
Specifically from the diet I’m trying, so far I’ve been feeling low energy and nausea. It’s a month of more extreme restrictions to try and help alleviate some of the symptoms like sore throat and cough, with the goal then being that I can figure out triggers and how to move forward while keeping the reflux controlled.
I’m sorry to hear that. It sounds like yours is much farther along than mine (but I have older family that matches your current experience). Is the new diet at least addressing the reflux symptoms or even with the new diet is it still occurring?
I have mostly silent reflux, so it’s really hard to tell. This adventure started when I had been coughing with a sore throat for about 4 months, started seeing doctors at that point. Those symptoms continue and I have a new diagnosis of barretts esophagus so it’s important I tackle the reflux and limit the behavior that could further the progression of barretts.
