indigestion w/ figure diet

[buffgirl84]

Hi,
I have been on my contest diet for 6 weeks and basically I'm eating lean protein only except for 1/2 oatmeal in the morning with my egg whites, some green veggies and 10 almonds. I have been having the worst indigestion and have even been put on nexum. I know protein is acidic, but could it be causing this?

I don't know if the protein is the cause of that...

But hon, why on Earth are you eating so little 6 weeks into your diet?? Only 1/2c oats and 10 almonds besides your proteins for the day?? *shock*

post your diet! what are your stats?

do you have acid reflux...is that what nexium is used for? protein and fat are harder to digest and require more stomach acid, that may be causing it!
