reflux weight gain

[lozzypops]

I started with reflux nearly 3 years ago, until then I was of normal weight didn't have a problem with keeping the pounds off. Since then, I've put on 20 lb, despite diet snd exercise those pounds will not budge! I've had every blood test imaginable nothing seems to be wrong, I am one of the unlucky people who gain weight through ppi's  ( that's what caused the initial weight gain) although the reflux is pretty much under control without meds now, I still can't shift weight. I'd love to hear from anyone who has been through similar experiencs and found a way to lose those stubborn lbs......thanks in advance.     Loz.

   A natural physician recommends trying Bladderwrack (an algea) to lose weight.  One 500 mg. capsule with each meal.  
     Or L-tyrosine (an amino acid) 500 mg. twice a day on a empty stomach.
     Best to try a natural formula which contains both - Solaray's Thyroid Caps.

      At present I am taking amino acids and iodide - but I need to try the thyroid caps myself as after losing some weight I am now on a plateau.  Guess I'll be going to the health food store soon... :)

  Hi,,,,I had weight increase as well and no, no success yet...but I wondered if u like myself might have another underlying heath issue that is more to blame at this point.....

Motility, or absorption....how our body breaks down and uses the foods we eat will affect weight...

I know I have an absorption issue and I need to take supplements as my body does not absorb them, and it is part of my issue,.

  Good Luck and let me know what u find out <3
