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??????

I can't answer your question regarding it interfering with weight loss, but
my experience has been that I was able to stop taking Nexium after only 1
month on LC because whatever was causing my symptoms pre-LC had cleared up
completely.
If you decide to stop taking the Prevacid, you must wean yourself off of it
slowly, not just stop cold-turkey.

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.

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.

JC When it comes to dumb questions you
hold First Place, Blue Ribbon Winner, you asked me the same one at least
three times already.
Now aren't we a glutton for attention? Okay, Okay, I see you
jumpin' up and down waving your hands, screaming, "I refuse to be
ignored!" Poor Baby, it must have been really hard growing up with
parents who ignored you. Did they let you say anything at all or was it
like...Slap! Now shut the hell up? No wonder you got Fat when all grown
up...to compensate for all the times you were sent to bed with no
dinner. Sad, really sad.
First of all, why is it any concern of yours whether I have tried
eating less? Are you writting a book about Faye's eating amounts?
As far as the functions buttons on the WEBTV, if you are interested,
they sell them at Sears and Circuit City...maybe even Walmarts (if live
on limited budget). Perhaps you can run by there, and get a first hand
demo. They can explain it better than me.
Maybe I'm not very smart, but it was my understanding that this group
is about weight loss, not selling software....but what do I know?
You go ahead, Honey Man, ask me whatever you wanna. I'm here for you.
Faye

How did you ever get so fat and stupid?

Since you posted in another thread about your bad indigestion, it
is a bad thing for you. It *causes* your ultra-slow digestion.

Good thing you've started low carbing and very many report that
low carbing cures their digestive problems. It gives hope that
you won't need the meds anymore. Maybe, insert usual caveat.

I'm astonished that you found one who admitted that. Stick with
that dietician.

I remember coming across a bottle of anti-acid tablets while cleaning
out the bathroom cabinets about a year after I started low-carb. Back
when I was doing low-fat, I bought the giant-sized bottle of the stuff
about once a month.

I looked at that half-empty bottle for a few seconds, trying to
remember the last time I had heartburn, then tossed it in the trash.
I'd had minor indigestion 3 times that I can remember in the last 5
years, and a tsp of milk of magnesia took care of the problem each
time.
