Advice for Heartburn after workout.

egdoD Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/11/15	2004/11/16, 04:22 AM Every time I work out I always get major heartburn, this only happens near the end of my workout weather I do cardio last or weights last it always happens near the end. I was wondering what would cause this, I've tried different diets and times of eating, I've tried eating before gym and after gym niether of which change this problem. I generally eat food that is quite rich, but nothing really out of the ordinary. I was wondering if it could be the supplement I am taking, ATP Advantage from Muscle Marketing USA or possibly even the water that is available at the gym. Any ideas anyone?

I would say it is the rich foods. :big_smile: -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

It's good to always consult when in doubt, but it could just be those rich foods! Here is some info: Some doctors believe a hiatal hernia may weaken the LES and cause reflux. Hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach moves up into the chest through a small opening in the diaphragm (diaphragmatic hiatus). The diaphragm is the muscle separating the stomach from the chest. (See Figure 2.) Recent studies show that the opening in the diaphragm acts as an additional sphincter around the lower end of the esophagus. Studies also show that hiatal hernia results in retention of acid and other contents above this opening. These substances can reflux easily into the esophagus. :dumbbell:Coughing, vomiting, straining or sudden physical exertion can cause increased pressure in the abdomen resulting in hiatal hernia. Obesity and pregnancy also contribute to this condition. Many otherwise healthy people age 50 and over have a small hiatal hernia. Although considered a condition of middle age, hiatal hernias affect people of all ages. Hiatal hernias usually do not require treatment. However, treatment may be necessary if the hernia is in danger of becoming strangulated (twisted in a way that cuts off blood supply, i.e., paraesophageal hernia) or is complicated by severe GERD or esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus). The doctor may perform surgery to reduce the size of the hernia or to prevent strangulation. -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
