Hello All,
I found this website while searching for answers to my current issue : Acid Reflux started Day 2 (its Day 4 now). I found some helpful older posts but my situation is a bit different in that I've always had reflux and with all my research in preparation, I never came across this issue. I'm drinking spring water and add 1/2 TBSP to the 1st cup in the morning (normal routine).
The advise I read is to not do anything and try to ride it out? So the burning of the throat won't cause any permanent damage if it continues for like 14 days (I don't have a set time-frame....but goal is at least 7 days)? Is there a point in which I should stop if it goes on for too long...how long?
Normally I would spend time reading through the forum but since I'm already on fast, I figured asking is better so that I can fix anything I'm doing wrong ASAP..
1)I'm drinking spring water but a post mentioned distilled is better?
2) Are there things I should switch like lip balm or toothpaste...I'm getting a sweetish after-taste from these which is normal but it made me wonder
3) I haven't done a #2 in a few days...but I did a colonscopy mid Jan(had to liquid fast for) and followed-up with 20/4 IF to lead up to this Water Fast on Monday...ergo I'm pretty clean and its probably the reason why the fasting has been a breeze except the acid burn.
My reasons: Health/Healing : Neurological/Auto-immune issues, have done a 100-day Juice Fast before(acid reflux & cramping with certain veggies was an issue ergo my choice to try water instead)

This is a reply to # 2,402,731On the Acid reflux, I decided to stick it out and its gotten better, so long I limit my water intake and sip vs gulp it down...but, it is still there. I'm still burping (not as much) and as recent as yesterday, it felt like rotten egg...but I haven't eaten for 19 days....what does this mean? Its not hunger pains but stomach still hurts from time to time, due to acidity or after drinking water. Could there still be remnants of food in my stomach? Just part of excess acidity? Has anyone experienced this? Should I push till 28 days or stop and re-assess?
Also I always feel light-headed/dizzy when I get up, bend or do anything with little effort...is that normal at this stage? I thought being in ketosis meant lots of energy, clear mind, etc I mean I feel ok, as long as I'm lying down or sitting, I don't feel weak or hungry. I did spend most of my time initially in bed(afraid to faint), and it seems to be getting better now that I'm forcing myself to get up more, run errands etc. Is it due to low blood pressure cos I can literally feel the "blood rushing to my head" sensation.
1) After much reading I decided to switch to distilled but now back to spring after the 12 days to get in some electrolytes (following advice I read on here)
2) I discontinued those items, occasionally using coconut oil when cracked lips got too bad
3) Still no #2, is this normal?

Hi archus,
So I ended up fainting in the gym (ambulance & everything) 2 days later...but I knew something was wrong/brewing.
**BTW I was not working out, gym has a hydro-massage plus my bath is under construction, so I shower there too. I had been doing this throughout the fast.
As I mentioned in the post above I literally could feel blood rushing to my head, it was warm sensation and the dizzy spells were getting stronger and stronger which I why I made the post. I read somewhere to take deep breaths to calm dizzy spells and it was getting harder to calm it down which saved me that night(I knew I was in trouble, got dressed, sat down & called my friend b4 fainting). Obviously I broke my fast at that point (broth 1st day and minimal fruits the next) but I was still feeling dizzy until I ate lots of carbs.
Any feedback on this?
It was also my TOM so I wonder if that anything to do with it since 1 month later I did notice feeling dizzy again (I normally don't).
Also my blood glucose reading after fainting was 110...should it have been that high?
I want to do another fast, so what did I do wrong/what can I do differently? I won't be able to stay in bed this time around, so maybe a series of shorter fasts? Lack of electrolytes?
Appreciate any insights.

This is a reply to # 2,407,346POH,
I hope all’s fine now. Light headedness and dizziness are very common during a fast. Dr. Shelton suggests that person experiencing dizziness and fainting spells need to rest, wear light and loose clothing and get fresh air, most importantly rest. Also one has to take care when standing up from sitting or lying position, your blood pressure is low and blood is not getting to your brain.
Here is one chapter for Dr. Shelton’s book.

My take on this is also how good your nutritional reserves are and how much are you detoxing.
For next fast try eat plant based diet for a month, do liver cleanse, walk everyday for 20 minutes and then fast.
Good wishes.

No salt, no toothpaste.
Reflux before and during a fast is a sign of weak or low acid. Drink warm or hot water like tea. Ride it out since this is a correction happening.
Post fast after a few weeks of eating raw foods, take apple cider vinegar in half a cup of water before each meal.
Good wishes.
