I’ve recently had a gastroscopy done and was diagnosed with GERD and was prescribed pantoprazole 40mg (1 tablet daily). I do not know whether I should be unduly alarmed with this diagnosis nor what to expect going forward.
I’ve never had heartburn, pain near the diaphragm nor feelings of nausea until 2-3 months ago.
I’m wondering if this condition was the result of being on Intermittent Fasting (OMAD - one meal a day) for the past one snd a half years ago. Does anyone have similar experience?
I’ve had my whole adult life mainly eating once a day and was diagnosed with diverticulosis when I was 55. It’s very stable now although I suffer from constipation and diarrhoea intermittently. I still only have one meal a day - my choice as I’m never hungry - and have a bit of reflux and heartburn that started a few weeks ago. I ignored it but now it’s very uncomfortable. I never thought my eating habits could be a cause until i read your post so thank you as I need to change my eating habits! I hope you get yours sorted soon for you x
