I tell you one thing that really opened my eyes to carbs hurting me (Don't laugh) was noticing if i had a couple of beers i would get horrible heart burn. I never put two and two together and then all of this started to make sense.
I'll vouch for the above as well pal.
I would get horrible acid reflux, at night specifically, very rare during the day.
Been on a presciption esomeprazole (nexium) for years and had enough.
I recently had a Endoscopy done.
While waiting for the test results to come back, I decided for two full weeks that I was not going to have a single beverage and I didn't
The results, un-freaking real man, I had one or two very minor complications of reflux which was a walk in the park.
I am convinced, for me, that alcohol, with my meals at night make the relfux happen. Some nights I will have 1 drink some nights I will have 3-4, usually wine and or whiskey on the rocks.
Needless to say, my results came back negative from the doc and basically I cured myself (in theory) of reflux!
I now keep alcohol consumption to the weekends (where reflux does come back to haunt me...FML)
I also stopped taking nexium all togther
Just my .2cents and food for thought as I was sure the doc was going find something, only to confirm, its the devils water that gets me
