Dieting for GERD?
Almost a month ago, I have been diagnosed with GERD. I have been taking ranitidine, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have also gained weight over the course of the year from 143 pounds to 180. I am thinking the weight I gained maybe putting pressure on the lower part of my esophageal sphincter. Aside from taking the pills, I want to ask. I have decided to stop eating and drink between 8 to 12 cups of water with exercise and taking a vitamins to help me lose weight. I plan to do this for 2 weeks and see the results. So far its been 3 days. How does that sound?
