Hi, ever since this diet, I have been having chronic hoarseness of my voice & sore throat. I went to an ENT yesterday & found out that I have reflux laryngitis. Is this common to low-carb dieters?

hi joyup,
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is actually relieved with lowcarb diet, not caused by it. This is unusual.
Check out a discussion we had a while ago on this topic .. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...=&threadid=1481 .. You'll see that for most people, cutting out the sugar will lessen the acidity and reflux.
