All right you two, heartburn is caused by acid being where it’s not supposed to be. I take simethicone pills now and never need to return to the acid blockers I took for years. I assume the gas forced the acids into the edophagus.

This leads to two germaine points:

Our economic misery is caused by money being where it’s not supposed to be- in the government’s hands instead of the workers and producers.

And: when it comes to your stomach, well, everything else is secondary.

I've had a super reduction in gastric reflux because of 2 things: 1. greatly reducing what I eat close to bedtime and 2. getting treated for severe sleep apnea.

LOL, thanks for that insight. I sometimes have taken the simethicone (I dunno how it’s spelled, so I repeated you, haha) pills for gas when I travel (I get a bloated feeling, not flatulence, haha), but I have never throught about it affecting the heartburn. I do all the things I’m not supposed to, like eat before bed, anyway. I’ll try it, and you are most definitely right in the statement where you said:

“Our economic misery is caused by money being where it’s not supposed to be- in the government’s hands instead of the workers and producers.”

That it ABSOLUTELY correct.
