Read all through January's postings to get some motivation.
I was very busy with DGSs, long bike rides every day at least once, and that all helps. I need to get back to the eliptical. I wish I could afford the gym, I'd do that again.
Harriet, I'm watching your journey to figure out the AR diet, etc. I've not had much success and continue to struggle. I tried enzymes (didn't help). I tried apple vinegar, didn't help. Meat is not a trigger for me. Sweets and rich food definitely is, also soda is very bad and chocolate. I need to cut back on coffee, my one drug of choice. Dairy isn't a trigger to me either and seems to help. Have you had any luck with the licorice?
I tried the hydrocloric acid (theory that some do not have enough acid and food doesn't digest, thereby causing indigestion) that didn't help either. I'm beginning to think mine is simply a malfunctioning valve that doesn't keep acid where it belongs. Diet's not ever going to help that.
It's a very discouraging situation which interrupts sleep and in my case the way I'm able to move about and do things.
When does the dr. say you are to come off your medicine?
