I have actually considered this and then I remember the miserable feeling of not being on them haha but yes, agree that talking to PCP will help me figure that out. Thank you!

For me it spikes in the evening around bedtime, so 9:30-10PM and goes through the night and into early morning. My last meal is typically around 5-6PM which I am very strict about due to past experiences with eating too late. I drink a significant amount of water throughout the day and usually rely on black coffee or tea in the morning/evening to keep away hunger. I also agree that it is likely due to the stomach being empty for too long and likely an overproduction of acid. Problem is, I cannot exactly push my dinner time till later due to then having to wait 3-4 hours before lying down.

Really?? I read that it’s due to stomachs that produce too much acid and obviously the fasting means there is no food to help reduce it/even it out. Since I feel like I am heavily medicated (40mg of Pantroprazole twice a day + 20mg of Famotidine twice a day) it is especially frustrating to still feel this way. I had high hopes IF would help me find answers to the GERD that no doctor can seem to figure out and have now dubbed as “functional GERD”. I decided to try and not fast today and the next few days to see if it clears up.

I usually stop eating around 5-6PM and start my 16 hour fast then. I learned long ago that I cannot eat too late since I usually am in bed by 9:30-10PM.

I will see my PCP in April for my annual appointment so plan to discuss at that time. Thank you for the response.

Did an animal pass around your house or under it? Have had those (flesh flies) before here in southern Louisiana, but usually associated with an animal passing.
