In the past year when I put on about 15 more pounds I started getting heartburn. Now that I have lost 12 pounds the heartburn that I was getting daily is a rare thing now..... Has this happened with anyone else?

    Yes! Within a few weeks of changing my eating habits I was able to cut down on my medication for it. I'm now taking 25% of what I was when I started and honestly, I'm not sure I still need it most nights.

    I was diagnose with acid reflux last year around this time. Ever since I started eating healthier, I haven't had to take my med because I never feel acid in my throat!

    Its great, The only other time I had heartburn was when I was pregnant. It just dawned on me that it was almost gone :)

    I haven't had heartburn since the weight loss and healthier eating began in January. I'm also not nearly as ... ahem ... "windy." I think my body and my family are grateful for this new lifestyle!

    Yes, I used to need a heartburn pill once or twice per day. I can't remember the last time I took one!

    Wow - you know I hadn't thought about it - it was not unusual for me to get HB from time to time before MFP. Haven't got one bout in the whole time since changing my ways.
