After only two weeks on the 16/8 diet (sometimes more like 18/6) I had stomach ulcer symptoms. Had a gp consultation and they went through the different reasons I could’ve got the ulcer and she asked if I had been missing meals. I explained the diet and she said that could be the cause. I am significantly overweight so rather than telling me not to do this diet she said I may need to be on protein pump inhibitors whilst on it.
Has anyone else had similar problems, I don’t like the idea of needing drugs to stay on this diet but it’s the only thing I’ve found that works?
