Fasting and acid reflux - a question

[nellyitsme]

Hi I've been diagnosed with Gastro oesophageal reflux disease GORD and I need to lose some weight to reduce the symptoms, I'm a BMI of 29

I've been following a low carb/ Mediterranean type diet since I got the diagnosis, which with the Omeprazole meds is really helping. But I'm not losing weight yet.

I'm wondering if it's ok to fast as the advice from the hospital was to eat smaller more regular meals and to not miss meals. I was thinking of doing 16: 8 a few days a week but I'm worried that I'll make my symptoms worse. I've read that it can be beneficial and also that it can exacerbate acid reflux

Does anyone have any experience of fasting and acid reflux
