Keto for acid reflux?

Question

Has anyone ever done keto and had their acid reflux improve? I’m miserable and I know I really need to lose weight but also I need to get my reflux under control. Any advice on this or just keto in general I’d love to hear it!!

Answer

I have experienced GERD at all weights (when I was normal weight in high school, after I gained a bunch of weight, and after I lost some of it) and honestly the biggest thing that helps me is just watching my acid intake. I pay attention to how much soda/coffee I drink, I order my pizzas with light sauce, I eat Alfredo instead of tomato sauce, I stay away from citrus juice (orange juice, lemonade) and I rarely eat anything spicy. I did not notice any difference in the frequency of my reflux symptoms after I gained or lost weight, but if I have too much tomato or coffee you better believe I feel the burn! I have tried keto, I did lose weight but it made me feel gross and I gained it all back pretty much immediately. No change in my reflux.
