There have been recent articles that sugar may be part of the problem. IF you have that little bacteria that can cause ulcers (a simple blood test can tell). It seems the little buggers LOVE sugar!

Complex carbs shouldn't be an issue, but it could also be the way your body breaks it down...or the way your body signals an intolerace or allergy!

Another thing with reflux....when we gain weight, at least to some degree, the diaphragm is pushed up making reflux worse.

I'm new to Atkins and haven't noticed any improvement in indigestion....of course I'm still taking my meds too. (a little bit more complex problems with me....I have reflux AND trouble swallowing due to the muscle being too tight!)

I've been taking prilosec for about 6 years...twice a day.....and I would just LOVE to be able to stop that med!
