I am almost 3 years out, had gallbladder removed 3 months ago. About 2 weeks ago I (re)started a strict food/exercise regimen, low carb/high protein/low cal. Suddenly in the last week + my acid has gone out of control. I have been on a daily Prevacid since surgery, I've tried to wean but the pain is too intense and I'm afraid of Barrett's resulting. In the last year I stopped watching my food and ate like a normal person and suddenly my acid issues went away - I also gained 25 lbs. Now, in the past week the acid is so intense Im take a morning AND night pill.

Ideas?

What is your source of protein?

poultry, fish, red meat, lamb, basically anything plus protein shakes.

I wonder if the harder your sleeve works to brake down your protein the more acid it makes? I think I would try a veggie protein.
