Hi guys
I hope the pros like Fadi or ppl who've worked things out in this area can give me some advice on this one. Sorry for the huge story but here it goes...
I by nature have a fairly weaker stomach. I'm lactose intolerant and got regular acid reflux as a kid.
I've recently upped my calories even more. I'm basically eating 7 meals a day. I am gaining in muscle size while maintaining fat levels except this increase in calories is perpetuating my stomach issues.
the meat in my meals consist of Lean steak, chicken mince, salmon and Tuna. Amongst that, I also have whole eggs in omlette form and whey protein shakes twice a day.
The carbs are of sweet potato and brown rice. Amongst this I have a lot of veggies.
Amongst this, i'm also eating nuts and beans as well as taking fish oil tablets.
Stomach acid refluxes are quite severe sometimes and i get a lot of burping / gas.
The thing is, when I was eating all this at about 3000 calories a day, I seemed fine. But then when i upped it to 3100 stomach pain started to occur and now at 3400 a day, it's getting worse.
I do work a fairly high pressure IT job so that also contributes to it most likely.
Is there anything I can do / take to improve absorption of nutrients as well as reducing the reflux?
thanks very much.
