Nancy, it's so good you feel energized.
Harmony, you are skinny-ing. I had also read that "b.h.a." is good for acid reflux, but as you know I discovered papaya enzyme chewables first and had such a good opinion of it that I have stuck with that.
I go to the dr tomorrow. I need to make out a 3x5 of notes to be sure I say the things I want to and ask the things I want to. I don't know what he will say when he finds out I'm farther along in cutting down on Nexium than he thinks. But I doubt he will be surprised. With his blessing, I'll be dumping the stuff, I think. (gradually) I also want to hear him say absolutely that there was nothing to see on the x-ray. He never really said that. He thinks I am eating "low-carb" and that's not exactly right anymore, so I need to update him. He is truly interested in my fight, because he has acid reflux ever since his extreme stress during his wife's scary pregnancy complication, and is on Nexium himself. (He's 10 years younger than me.)
Oh, I'm also interested in their scale's number change and the dates.
Dd11 has made a pie (just Jello Cook and Serve in a graham crust) using the almond milk from the grocery. It is a nice consistency and the slight almond flavor makes the pie seem more special than usual. So she is pleased with her "recipe" and I am pleased that she's getting more variety of nutrition. For anyone trying to cut out dairy, I'd say this is an easy way to have a almost-dairy-free dessert without noticing the difference. Of course, there's still the sugar!
I had updated on dh in PWYC, but wanted to mention that he has kept off the 14 pounds he lost during his terrible bout with the kidney stone. And when we went to the urologist the other day his bp was 126/80 which is much better. He half-seriously half-jokingly attributes the bp improvement to chocolate, which I have been bringing into the house. He read that it was good for bp and starting "helping" me eat it. I told him he had a good bp reading because his wife was sitting beside him.
