you are right that losing excess weight usually helps heartburn symptoms as this article describes. something else that might be going on is changes in your diet. certain foods can make heartburn worse (see this article for top 10 heartburn foods ). how does your diet change when losing weight? also do you lose fast or slowly. that may have an impact as well. i suggest going to a registered dietitian as you lose weight to track the type of food you are eating. also a physical prior to losing weight (sharing your concerns with your healthcare provider) can help as well. good luck!
extremely intense heartburn everytime i drop weight. any ideas? . two times i dropped 40lbs and two times i had ongoing extremely intense heartburn (based on a doctor's medical opinion) beneath my lower sternum. everytime i put the weight back on heartburn is gone. the pain was 3 times more intense than the kidney stone pain i endured. i cannot live that way but i want to lose weight. there's an article on webmd that explains losing weight helps against heartburn but that's not at all true for me. any ideas?
