Acid reflux (heartburn, GERD) is one of the most common side effects on GLP-1. It's caused by delayed gastric emptying. Food sits in the stomach longer, which pushes acid upward. There are steps that can be taken, as listed in the attached chart, such as smaller meals, walking after dinner, and chewing gum, that can help alleviate acid reflux.

Also consider the following foods that can help calm acid reflux:

𝗢𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹 - Absorbs acid. Gentle on the stomach.
𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘀 - Naturally low-acid
𝗚𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮 - Anti-inflammatory. Helps with both nausea and reflux. Steep fresh ginger in hot water.
𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗿𝘁 - Probiotics + protein. Avoid flavored versions with high sugar.
𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘆 - Baked or grilled, not fried.
𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 - Plain white or brown rice. Bland, absorbent, easy to digest.
𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻 (𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗲, 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆𝗱𝗲𝘄) - Alkaline fruits. Low acid. High water content.
𝗘𝗴𝗴𝘀 (𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱) - Gentle protein. Avoid frying in butter or oil.

20 years ago, Tanya H. was a patient at CONCI where she lost 80 pounds by following a very low-calorie diet. She kept the weight off for 3 years, but as she fell back into old habits, the weight crept back. Eating out frequently, not exercising, and her love for Southern cooking all contributed to her return to an unhealthy weight. Now in her 50’s, Tanya was facing health issues. In addition to high blood pressure and high cholesterol, her diabetes was not well controlled. Her A1c level was extremely elevated at 12.3. Having also seen her mother struggle with kidney failure and dialysis, Tanya was motivated to get back to better health through weight loss. She had great results with the help of CONCI 20 years ago, so she returned for their guidance and support once again.

In July 2025 Tanya started Numetra®, a very low-calorie meal replacement program. She stayed compliant for the duration of her weight loss, not even deviating on Thanksgiving Day, and lost a total of 43 pounds in 5 months. Weight loss has made a huge improvement in Tanya’s health. Most notably, her diabetes is now in great control. Her A1c dropped from 12.3 to 5.6! What a difference weight loss can make! In addition, Tanya dropped her visceral fat level from 21 to 12. Visceral fat is the most unhealthy form of fat, so improving this score indicates a major step towards better health. Furthermore, her weight loss has also brought an improvement in her breathing and mobility.

Tanya has reached her goal but she isn’t finished with CONCI. She continues to stay connected for accountability purposes, attending a weekly support group led by a registered dietitian.

The A1c test – also known as hemoglobin A1c – measures the average amount of sugar in your blood over the past 3 months. Your A1c level can let you know if you are prediabetic or are creeping close to it, or if you have Type 2 diabetes. If you are diabetic, this test can be a helpful tool to monitor how well your treatment plan is working. This test is reported as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher blood sugar levels have been over the past 3 months. If you are overweight or have a family history or risk factors for diabetes, having a discussion with your doctor about this test might be a good idea.
