STOP EATING BREAD IF YOU HAVE HEARTBURN
See if it helps.
I used to have a number of ailments that went away when I stopped eating wheat, and I’ve lost weight (a lot)
My joints no longer ache, I dont need a cane anymore, I can raise my arms over my head without shoulder pain, I no longer have extreme heartburn daily, i have more energy and have lost weight
Going gluten free is not for everyone- but it is NOT expensive- don’t buy crappy gluten free food- just eat meat and vegetables.
Biggest bonus- I am not hungry all the time anymore. I used to constantly be snacking, I have not done that in years.
I just saw my first lawyer ad pitch for people who took Zantac and developed cancer.
Omeprazole (Prilosec) isn’t a sub for Zantac. Completely different modes of action. And IMO, Primosec shouldn’t be over-the-counter, because it shouldn’t be taken continuously for more than about a month. Also, it interferes strongly with anti-clotting drug Plavix, a dangerous situation for heart and stroke patients.
I take 40 mg of pepcid (generic-—tambourine) every night. Used to wake up with acid in my throat. Rarely happens with the pepcid.
Don’t do that if you have high blood pressure. Baking soda will drive it up.
I don't get heartburn much, only when I go to bed (laying down, etc.). Not sure what causes it, spicy food is a guess, though...
