Re: [fast5] Re: Fast 5 and Acid Reflux

I also just recalled one of the issues I did have when I went on Fast-5 ... it turns

out that when I drink black tea on an empty stomach, it gives me stomach irritation.

Took me awhile to figure that out. I still drink tea, but only with or after a meal.

I drink herbal tea (neem is my favorite) during the fast times.

In one lab study I read, they gave the rats tannic acid on an empty stomach

to induce ulcers. The tannic acid reduces the stomach coating. So I think

that is something for fasters to watch out for. Maybe it gets worse with age ...

I know when I was young I drank a lot of tea between meals with no problem.

I haven't had reflux problems since I started Fast5 a couple of years ago, but I also had some surgery that should prevent it. So I can't really credit this way of eating as being the whole solution.

However, I've maintained a window of 3 - 8 PM which gives me a couple of hours to digest things before going to bed. I'm not sure I would be doing so well with the more typical 5 - 10 PM window.
