That is all interesting about the acid. What I remember about the acid book that Harriet mentioned, was that acid foods should not be ingested, should not go past the esophagus to cause further damage. Which would include apple cider I suppose. There is that theory that if one's body does not make enough acid, foods do not digest properly and cause the distress.
I tested that theory with myself, trying the vinegar. Oh my that made things infinitely worse. I have pretty wicked reflux. I live my whole life staying upright. I never put my head downward. Or flat (if laying down). It's as if that valve shutting off the acid from coming up simply does not work any more.
Taking something for limiting production of acid sure made me more comfortable. But I was afraid of those side effects and quit those years ago. My pastor says he has it too and asked his dr. what to do. His solution: no coffee and no red sauce. Wish that was all I had to do to solve this.
LadyM, hope your DH does not suffer too much. I'm surprised they could get biopsy results that fast. DH's were sent out.
Blessed, sorry about your DDog. I hope he (she?) recovers a bit.
I guess I was kinda worn out with all the work the past few days and I didn't get a whole lot accomplished. Did get my last LOL folded up. It's been sitting in a basket for a couple days. Tomorrow I'll do better. I hope.
