Don's recent link to Dr Freed's article on lectins in BMJ show how lectins
aggravate gastro-esophageal -reflux-disease GERD.
Actually it was referring more to duodenal and gastric ulcers.
Lectins are high in non-paleo foods. They can cause increased stomach acid
secretion, break down the protective stomach mucus and promote proliferation
of bacteria (the bug helicobacter can cause ulcers). Expect it to take
months to feel better. Follow your doctor's advice.

"The ideal diet for any animal is that which it eats in the wild. Humans are
no exception."
"Ask a doctor dietitian how to lose weight and you'll be told to eat bread,
corn, soy, cereals etc.. Ask a farmer how to fatten an animal and you'll be
told to feed it bread, corn, soy, cereals etc. There is a discrepancy that
needs explanation."
