I looked this up because I noticed that during Passover week, when the only carb I really ate was a little Matzoh, my GERD was better. So I will try to stick to it and see what happens. I also want to say that 2 docs missed the fact that I needed my gall bladder out, which has stopped the really crippling episodes of what I thought was a spasm caused by the GERD.

I was having terrible acid reflux for several months starting in fall 2004. I found a little article on the web similar to this in early 2005 about how low carb diet can cure GERD, and I went out and bought the book “protein power” and started the diet the next day. At that time I had typical ideas about fat and meat in diet, so I was actually scared of the low carb diet. Well my acid reflux went away literally the next day, and I have been eating a low carb diet ever since. I only take enzymes for digestion now, no ant acids or acid reducers, and I feel great unless I over eat or eat things I know will bother me. I now exercise almost daily – actually I’ve gained about 20 lbs in 3 years of LC diet, but it is mostly muscle.

If you back off on eating a lot of meat your stomach will not excrete as much acid to digest the meat. I think too.

I've suffered from acid reflux as well as stomach ulcers for years. I've been to no less than 5 doctors regarding my ulcers do to relocations for work. It is amazing how each doctor's suggested treatment was identical to the previous doctor's. As far as the GERD (acid reflux), I've been to several doctors all prescribing Prilosec. I will tell you that none of the acid reflux medications have worked for me. After spending thousands of dollars for "medical treatment" I finally decided to research my problems myself. Through my research I discovered that acid reflux is often mis-diagnosed by medical professionals. To understand why, we must first understand what acid is. Acid is the opposite of alkaline on the pH scale. Although alkali is its opposite it has the same effects on human tissue. Therefore a proper diagnosis cannot be made without a pH test. The medical "industry" has no such test for acid reflux. If a diagnosis of acid reflux is given and the patient's pH balance is actually more alkali then the acid reflux medicine prescribed will actually make the problem worse by making an already alkali pH even more alkali. I'm sure you have already heard about the apple cider vinegar cure. Vinegar is an acid and therefore will not cure true acid reflux however if the patient is actually suffering from alkaline reflux, vinegar will lower the pH and have tremendous results. Ovbiously the confusion lies in that no medical terminology is yet available for "alkaline reflux". I can tell you that I was one of the millions that was mis-diagnosed and have found relief from the apple cider vinegar cure.
