ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at

SO

dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, ymmv

TT

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me

SO

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, n of 1 obviously

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 2 or is that just me

if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

VL

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

VL

sorry to jump in powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber

TT

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

SO

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better

SO

nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, i could be wrong

hope it settles
