I woke up with a pain in my left side just below my rib cage. I thought I was having a heart attack.
Searched the internet for the cause and according to this page one of the causes, the first one listed I might add, is heartburn or acid reflux! So I took two anti acid and after 15 minutes I felt a bit better.
By the time I felt better and wasn't scared anymore I had already drank half of my cup of green tea and just remembered that I had not weigh myself. Oh well, losing weight is in my mind 24 hours and then I forget to weigh in the morning, lol.
I think the cause of my pain is heartburn or acid reflux and I think it is because of too much artificial sweetener and sugar alcohols I consumed especially yesterday.
I consume Atkins bar and shakes, that are full of sugar alcohol, everyday. But yesterday on top of those I consumed the full package of sugar free Jello, 2 cups. Plus I got MiO water enhancer yesterday hoping by flavoring my water I would be able to drink more water. I think I pour MiO in all four bottles of water I drank yesterday! So consuming all that much sugar alcohol and artificial sweetener in one day is a big mistake.
I feel much better now, but still when I breathe deep I feel the pain!
I am going to try and eat real food today. I just got half chicken breast out of the freeze which I am going to cook and make zucchini soup. I shall eat half and take the other half to work for dinner. No more MiO in my water today and no more Jello for dessert tonight. I already had an Atkins bar for breakfast this morning, but I am going to snack on Cheerios this afternoon. I shall try to see if I can reduce my two Atkins shake a day to one. Hopefully no more pain for me.
