🙏🏻😷Sorry to friends whom I can’t reply all your text and messages. I’m still struggling a lil bit with the twitch n pain on my stomach. 😔 Felt like gastric though 😖
🤔To those who asked what GERD is..
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus.
🤒How common is GERD?
Many people experience acid reflux from time to time. GERD is mild acid reflux that occurs at least twice a week, or moderate to severe acid reflux that occurs at least once a week.
⚠️What cause GERD?
Eating large meals or lying down right after a meal
Being overweight or obese
Eating a heavy meal and lying on your back or bending over at the waist
Snacking close to bedtime
Eating certain foods, such as citrus, tomato, chocolate, mint, garlic, onions, or spicy or fatty foods
Drinking certain beverages, such as alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, or tea
Smoking
Being pregnant
Taking aspirin, ibuprofen, certain muscle relaxers, or blood pressure medications
🦠What are the symptoms?
A burning sensation in your chest (heartburn), usually after eating, which might be worse at night
Chest pain
Difficulty swallowing
Regurgitation of food or sour liquid
Sensation of a lump in your throat
If you have nighttime acid reflux, you might also experience:
Chronic cough
Laryngitis
New or worsening asthma
Disrupted sleep
☝🏻🥺 BUT..
my recent condition DO NOT have most of the symptoms above. I do not have..
❌ anxiety or panic attack
❌ difficult in swallowing
❌ burning sensation or chest pain
❌ asthma
❌ sudden loss of weight
These are what I’m experiencing now..
✅ lost of appetite
✅ abdominal pain (twitching)
✅ felt like gastric
✅ nausea
✅ diarrhea
✅ insomnia
✅ constipation
✅ lots of gas (burping)
💁🏻♀️After further evaluation and assessment on my body condition, I am quite convinced that these are the side effects I get from my recent INTERMITTENCE FASTING.. 🙃
We've heard so much about the benefits of IF but beware, it is not so perfect as what we thought. The benefits I have gotten during my session were..
✅ loss of weights
✅ loss of food cravings
✅ minimal dependency on food
✅ no hunger within 16-20 hours
✅ energy level and mental sharpness are the same, if not better
But what I didn't expect were...
🆘 irregular bloating and constipation despite fruits/ greens intake
🆘 stomach discomfort that feels like gastric (eventhough I don't feel hungry at all)
🆘 completely unaware of feeling hungry
🆘 my feet do feel colder than usual
🥶So now I'm stuck at this indigestion/ guts/ stomach/ gastric/ GERD problem..
To those who wished to start IF, can I advise you something 🤣
❤️ Check with your doctor or someone who are more experienced in this but be aware of your 16:8 fasting. Set an alarm. ⚠️ Don't repeat my mistake, I didn't realize I should be eating and that subconsciously allow my fasting to continue to sometimes 20 hours, while I continue working in front of my laptop, so that's a big mistake to begin with. Down with digestion problem is a big disappointment to me.. bcs I don't get to enjoy food as much as I used to! Not until I finish my medication 😔 Speedy recovery to myself! 💪🏼
P/S: I’m taking more regular meals in smaller portion to boost back my appetite 🥰
