been a little stressful recently......

and I am not going into details......but it has been stressful. Spring is on its way....trees are budding and my grass is starting to green up!

I have had 2 online friends pass away recently.....one on April 1...which everyone thought at first was just a sick joke......but it was no joke. Those things really upset me....a lot more than I thought they would. AND it is so very hard for me to believe someone is no longer there like they were before....

anyway.....I have lots to do here......and now I need to get some sleep.

Oh......do you know what they say is the best thing for heartburn and acid reflux ....a natural thing? SAUERKRAUT! yep....sauerkraut .......I could not believe it either. Wish I had some now as I have some heartburn and I take Prilosec every day.......which I plan on stopping......because did you know if you stay on it long-term it can raise your LDL or bad cholesterol level???

I have been on a proton pump inhibitor for YEARS.........every day......no matter what. I am going to try to wean off......and see how I do...

and go buy me some sauerkraut.....eeeeew

Sauerkraut for heartburn? I've never heard of that...wish I would have know that when I was prego...

Hi, thanks for popping by my blog and leaving a comment on my Being Autistic post.

I suffer terribly from heartburn and almost live on Gaviscon! Not sure how good for you it is but it does the job.

Love the cat photo. I had acid reflux really bad for awhile but I have gotten it better by not eating at least 2 hours before bedtime, otherwise I will have to sit up half the night, and watching what I eat. What you eat has a big impact on it. I've discovered different things through trail and error. I've never heard of the sauerkraut for heartburn but have heard of vinegar for it. I even tried it and it worked except it's hard to swallow. I would stick to trying to figure out what foods make you have heartburn and what one's don't.

well I produce too much stomach acid.....so hence the proton pump inhibitor...it is gastroesophageal reflux not heartburn. Guess my post is a little misleading.

SO it makes no difference what I eat....I can have symptoms without eating anything.
