So ive lost about 12 lbs, its almost been a month of eating better and daily cardio. I havent had heartburn or acid reflux in like 2-3 weeks. My dad always carried Rolaids, when I was about 18 I started carrying Tums with me. Few years go by and the Tums didnt do anything to help the heartburn/acid reflux. I found a 75mg acid reducer at walmart that I took daily, it helped for a couple months, until I upgraded to the 125mg pill... then the 200mg pill... and it was starting to not work. I should of went to a DR but im stubborn, and def shouldnt of been taking them daily. I was worried about my throat being damaged. It was bad.

But not anymore.

    Wow, thank you for that post. i have very bad acid reflux. I have to take meds from my Dr. I am just starting a fitness program today. I would be so happy if I didn't have to take any more meds.

    Eliminating cigarettes cured my chronic heartburn. I just thought I'd add that in case it might help someone else.

    Awesome! Same here! I used to eat Tums on a daily basis, but I haven't needed any in 3+ weeks now. :)
  • Same thing happend to me after I lost about 10 pounds. I think it was mainly due to eating better! I feels so good to feel good!
