Think Twice Before Taking Popular Heartburn Drugs

My dad got his acid reflux under control when he tried the Atkins diet a few years ago.

According to him reducing the amount of refined starch/sugar in his diet has helped a lot. Cut back on things like bread, white rice and potatoes - and also full strength coffee.

Hopefully you'll find some intelligence too.

Sadly for Marc, there are no pills for that

What really sucks is that work schedule of yours. Leaving at 5:00AM and not getting back until after 6:00PM? Dude, you ought to slow down. I leave around 8:00AM - 8:30AM and will typically be back by 5:30PM - 6:00PM. There are exceptions but I am usually out of the house less than 10 hours.

I wish I could slow down. We have 3 conveyers that will soon be overdue for shipment overseas. If we don't make our ship date the company takes a big hit with a fine. The pressure should be off in a month or so and I can get back to 8 hour days rather than 12-13 hour days.

I switched to Prevacid now.

Ulcers run in the family.

Nexium is good but my insurance does not cover it. So unless I risk jail by importing it for #33 or paying $197 here retail, prevaicd it is.

Try cyanide.

Well, as long as there's light at the end of the tunnel. And as long as that light ain't a train coming at you...

Try cyanide.

It does take care of heartburn. And cancer. And Alzheimers. And just about any other ailment. It's just the sheer finality of this approach that one should seriously consider.
