Hi all,

I decided I need to lose weight and see if that would help with my HH and GERD symptoms. ( i am a 36 year old female, height 1,56 cm, weight Kg75). And I was advised to try intermittent fasting and take 2ltrs of water every morning on an empty stomach. Today is my 1st day trying this new trick. I drank 2 ltrs at 8a.m and I feel very full,nauseous and I am belching a whole lot. Has anyone with my condition tried the intermittent fasting and water therapy? I am so depressed that I am not feeling the way I expected to feel. I m in tears because I don't know if I will ever find something to help me.

I am very tired of this condition ruining my life.

    Hello,

    I have a hiatal Hernia.

    I was overweight (78kgs) and needed to find a way to lose weight without having to hit the gym constantly.

    I started doing Intermittent fasting and later started doing OMAD.

    In the beginning, I'd get really nauseated with a few headaches here and there but all of that ended in 7 days. And suddenly, after two weeks of fasting, my stomach was quiet for the first time in a very long time. I had no symptoms whatsoever. Lost 12kgs in 8 weeks. I switch between Intermittent fasting and omad so my system doesn't get used to a routine. I eat an apple a day as i find it helps with my digestion.

    I haven't tried drinking 2L of water but try follow dr. Berg on YT. He should be helpful.

      Thank you so much Carol. I have started to make healthier choices when it comes to my diet and I hope I lose weight as well. What scares me the most is my always there pain on the upper left side of my stomach. I have to lose weight and pray I get better.
