Question

This is my first time here, I am looking forward to having discussion with others who are working towards the same goal. I started CAD November 1st of this year, I've lost approximately 15 pounds so far. I say approximately because I didn't buy a scale until 3 weeks ago and since that time I've definitely lost 10 pounds, I can only guess that I probably lost at least 5 pounds in the weeks that preceded. I have an unusual question, one that I hope isn't too far-fetched, but here goes. As a result of many years of purging (when I was a teenager), I have a condition known as acid reflux. Basically the muscles in the esophagus that would normally keep stomach acid from coming up become weakened and do not work the way they should. After I eat, the food that should be digesting continues to come back up my throat. I have been on medication in the past that helped (it has since been taken off of the market) and I imagine that I will have to speak to my doctor again, because the condition now seems to be getting worse. However in the meantime I wonder if when this happens my body is sensing that I am actually consuming food. Could this be causing an unwanted "insulin reaction"? What do you think? Any response would be appreciated.
