heartburn increasing while dieting

[chrysleralam]

Hello, I would like to ask if having heartburn while dieting is normal, I have been eating lots of veggies and meat, chicken, fish and very little carbs, for some reason since I decreased my carbs intake I get heartburn almost every day specially at night, and the only way to relief that feeling is having a portion of carbs like bread, pasta, rice etc....I don't know if this a mental issue or what but it's very annoying, please help.

what are you eating before the heartburn?

are you using spices with your food? red meat can cause heartburn

Having carbs when you've decreased them to relieve a pain, any pain, does sound more mental than physical.

 

[stevesmi]

also what are you DRINKING

plain dry meat and fibrous vegetables are VERY hard for your body to digest. Try adding apple cider vinegar to your meals. It'll help with digestion and should stop the heart burn.

Make sure to get an organic apple cider vinegar that contains 'mother'. I normally buy the braggs version.

Heartburn can absolutely happen when changing diet. Give it a few days to see if you adjust to it. If not, Muskate gives you a good recommendation. Also, try to figure out exactly what food it is causing the issue.
