Heartburn and weight loss
Common Questions and Answers about Heartburn and weight loss
heartburn
Good luck with the weight loss...I wish I could lose weight also.As long as ur dr monitors ur weight loss I am sure u will be in good health soon.
I agree with you that losing weight should help with the gerd symptoms...not sure if u can "cure" it tho. I have had issues for yrs and now that u mention this....my flares coinside with added weight.
It could be that our clothes get tighter also.....
When I workout I mainly lift weights so I expect that I should gain weight rather than loose it right? The weight loss has been pretty drastic. A couple of months ago I was about 240ish pounds. Then I dropped down to 225 pounds. At that time I wasnt really eating, as I didnt have an appetite. Then, I was making my self eat. I would eat a lot as well. My weight would go up to about 227 pounds then go right back to 225. I went to the doctor because of this and he tested me for diabetes.
After doing that for about a week, I started having symptoms of heartburn - usually upon awakening and during the morning hours; it usually subsides by noon. When I eat during this time, I often feel the food going down the esophagus with some discomfort at times.
My question is this - could this be a symptom of hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism or related in any way to me taking half the dosage of levothyroxine? How should I proceed?
Burping which occurs with other symptoms like pain, heartburn, nausea, a decreased appetite, or weight loss may be associated with a serious cause. Take light food. Avoid fried spicy food. A clinical examination is must for correct diagnosis and management. I hope it helps.
Best wishes and kind regards!
You will want to see a Dr and follow their instructions to help calm down what you do have going on as you do not want it to increase to GERD.....
Do keep us posted on your progress.
As for the weight loss / weight gain, I am unfortunately one of many who lose weight without the knowledge of how to keep it off. I sincerely wish to lose it again, but I cannot go to the gym with these symptoms.
Any advise on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and attention.
p.s I will be posting this query in multiple areas but that does not mean I value one forum's advise over another's.
Also of concern is a weight loss from 198 to 192 in a week and a half. The vomiting and diet change might be the main reason, but I am still watching it, and concerned with how fast it changed. I am also still exercising regularly.
I am wondering at what point I should consider seeing my GI doctor for an endoscopy or other tests. I understand this is probably GERD, hiatal hernia, gastritis or gastroparesis.
I'm 39 weeks Monday and have only gained 9lbs during the pregnancy and doctors haven't yelled yet- then again my doctors suck sooooooo they might not even realize I've gained very little weight...
Hello,
Prilosec is taken for gastritis and acid reflux. It has no reported interactions with weight loss 4 pills but it is not advisable to ue weight loss 4 pills without a doctor’s guidance. It has plenty of side effects like diarrhea, oily stools, gas, flatulence, and other systemic side effects.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
What is a good way to gain weight I'm 34 weeks and I just lost five pounds in two weeks my doc says I need to gain at least a pound a week I can't stand any red meats right now they make me sick every time please help.
I take a very high dosage, which is approved by a naturopath, if you go too high, you will heartburn and vomit, so you can keep adding pills to each meal to see how many you can tolerate well. If yuor stomach feels a bit of a sting, or warmth, usually you've taken enough, but I take a whopping dosage, and it works! And now many vitamins too, apparently I'm severealy depleated.

ll still burp a lot and have some refluxes. Now i am lossing appetite and weight. And also, I have slowly developed sore throat. Any advice what's going on now? Is what I'm experiencing GERD or LPR? I don't experience any heartburn.
Does anyone knows if I can ever recover from this? If so, how long will it take? It's really depressing because I can't eat like I used to.
I have back problems and the extra weight was brutal. Soon as as switched to Topamax (which has weight loss side effects) I lost the extra weight plus.
Seizure meds are tough. They all have very extreme side effects. I've been on 4 different ones and I found that over time my body would get used of the side effects. Depakote was definately one of the better ones for me.
Best of luck to you and your son.
He prescribed me Eldicet, Providac, Torbulk Powder and Veloz D for 2 months and told me stop eating Wheat and suggested to take more Yogurt and Butter Milk. However, all in vain.
I stop all the medicines since I was taking too much medicines since a year. Now I have started talking Levipride (Levosulpride) 25mg three times a day with Esoz 20 before meal after surfing a lot internet. By sonography, Dr came to know that I'm having nonalcohlic fatty liver and asked me to reduce my weight.
If you have some of the above symptoms, plus you alternate with hypo symptoms such as weight gain, constipation, depression, dry skin and eyes, hair loss, muscle pain, brain fog and migraine, rashes or hives, heartburn and GERD, then get the TGab and TPOab antibody tests for Hashimoto's.
Also, get an ultrasound of the thyroid.
People with thyroid disease are commonly low in B12, iron and D3 vitamins. Low D can cause terrible neck cramping and muscle spasms all over the body.
She did test me for thyroid dysfunction also, not sure how gastro issues come into play there, but that would explain tremors and weight loss.
So I'm 5.10 and my pre pregnancy weight was 171lbs and now I weigh 194lbs so I've gained 23lbs. Is that a bad thing? Im measuring my weeks and to be honest its the smallest I've been at this stage in pregnancy compared to my others.
I'm not constantly filling my face and certainly dont have the attitude of "eating for two". Ive not really changed my eating habits.
