I have been on this diet for a week and am concerned about the heart burn. I think that their is a possible correlation between heart burn and your body's PH. The animal and fish protein we eat on this diet are acid forming foods..when the body becomes to much acid ,symptoms appear like heart burn that can lead to other major problems.There are other types of problems if you become too alkaline but I do not think that would be a problem for an Atkin's eater. So are we getting enough alkaline foods? Grains are also very acid foods! My sister was very acid and I prepared her a dinner which included a lot of alkaline foods that she was afraid to eat because she thought her heart burn would increase. and she was very suprised with the outcome. She stopped the TUMS and did very well. Black mission figs are one of the highest alkaline forming foods, try almonds or almond butter, all your greens...I have been puttiing my allotment of lemon juice in my water because lemon is a food tha turns alkaline in the body...if you suffer from heart burn think about buying a book about acid and alkalinity in the human body. Also if you take antiacids if has been found that they mask the acid problem and the heart burn actually gets worst This is not a medically excepted idea but your alternatives know about this spiral.
