Effect on weight loss?
Can someone help me figure this out? I take several RXed meds and
trying to figure which is slowing my weight loss. Prevacid is a very potent stomach-acid blocker.....the pharmacutical print-out reads, "PREVACID SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWS THE EMPTYING OF DIGESTIBLE SOLIDS." Is this a good thing in relation to weight loss, or a bad thing? Also it states that, "PREVACID INHIBITS THE NORMAL INCREASES IN SECRETION VOLUME, ACIDITY, AND ACID OUTPUT INDUCED BY INSULIN." Is this a good thing? Does this mean less insulin is produced "cause not needed? Or vice versa? I am just totally confused. I spoke with my Gastroenterologist about effect that Prevacid might have in relation to weight loss. He says he hasn't a clue, that I would need to talk to dietician or nutritionist. I talked with dietician at the Weight Loss Center, she says hasn't a clue, will need to ask my doc. See what I mean?????? Faye |

Effect on weight loss?
Prior to starting low carb I needed acid reducing medication everyday. Since
I have started to low carb (after about the first or second week) I don't need the stuff at all. Sugar and high carb diets definitely have an effect on H2 production in the digestive system causing indigestion, excess stomach and digestive acids, and gastric-esophageal reflux.

Effect on weight loss?
If you eliminate wheat from your diet for a week you might be able to give
up the heart burn meds entirely. My Sweetie was on a large dose of them after having a couple episodes of gastric bleeding that put him into the hospital. Cutting out the wheat solved his problem. The doctors never even suggested that wheat was a problem and just kept putting him on stronger and stronger heartburn meds. However, if you low carb while eating the new and, to my mind, bogus "low carb" foods on the market nowadays that have wheat as an ingredient, you may not see the heartburn clear up. It isn't just carbs that cause heartburn. There is some kind of specific wheat allergy involved which seems to be very common. It is also not quite the same as celiac disease which is a gluten intolerance. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. Below goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.7 .
