Our family doctor has put me on the "purple pill" twice. Both times I got relief but didn't like taking them long term so I took myself off them. For me, it seems stress is a biggie in causing extreme indigestion/heartburn/GERD.....or whatever it is - I just know it hurts to the point that I think I am dying. really! A few years ago I went to ER with it and they admitted me because they thought I was having heart problems. In the past 6 months, I've had a couple bad spells with it, but most of the time I don't have any problems with it.
GOOD NEWS!!! Today the scales showed a 3.2 lb loss!!
You wise and brilliant people had it pegged right. It had to be the excess sodium in the restaurant/fast/processed food!! Yesterday was the first day in over a week that I only ate home cooking. Reminding myself how much I looooooove eating my cooking.
Just for the record - here are my #'s from yesterday.
