What Does A Leak Feel Like?



Recommended Posts

I am having crazy heartburn right below where my ribs start. It's like a nagging constant pain. I've had heartburn a few times before and have taken mylanta and feel better but not this time. Now... I did have three boneless wings with buffalo sauce early last night... Do you think that could be the culprit or is it a leak? Won't have those again.

Thanks

How far out are you? Heartburn and leaks are generally not synonymous, and for the first 4-6 weeks heartburn generally doesn't have much to do with what you're eating, but rather your stomach adjusting to it's new size. Remember your stomach used to be bigger, and therefore more stomach acid needed to be produced to digest your larger food intake. Your stomach is going through an adjustment process just like you, and it takes time for it to do so.

Check out the FAQ's pinned up top for typical signs and symptoms of a leak. ;-)
