36, with plans for more

Nothing in my comment weighed in on the article contents since as I said, it was paywalled. I did comment on the photo which was manipulated.

I have mostly silent reflux, so it’s really hard to tell. This adventure started when I had been coughing with a sore throat for about 4 months, started seeing doctors at that point. Those symptoms continue and I have a new diagnosis of barretts esophagus so it’s important I tackle the reflux and limit the behavior that could further the progression of barretts.

Specifically from the diet I’m trying, so far I’ve been feeling low energy and nausea. It’s a month of more extreme restrictions to try and help alleviate some of the symptoms like sore throat and cough, with the goal then being that I can figure out triggers and how to move forward while keeping the reflux controlled.

Thank you for posting this. I’m on day 12 of a diet to control my reflux symptoms and I feel awful and run down. Was worried I’d never hit that ‘increased energy’ I had read about.

People suck
