Went to see my 2nd ENT dr yesterday. He believes I have a raging case of acid reflux that is not responding fully to any of the 6 medicines I've been taking. But he wants to be sure nothing else is going on, so I have to go to the hospital at the end of June and have a scope put down my throat so he can take a look around. I have to be knocked out for it, which is something I am not looking forward to, but i suppose it beats being awake while they are doing it.
In the meantime I am still on my Ensure~Carnation Instant Breakfast~mashed potato~pudding diet. Sometimes I fear I will never eat normally again!! The thought of eating a real meal makes me extremely nervous, and makes my stomach acid kick up even more! It's a viscous cycle!
My husband's boss Shawn and his wife Belinda recommended I drink some Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. He had very bad acid reflux and it helped him. I looked it up on the Internet and saw that people believe it helps with a lot of stuff, including acne, anxiety, depression, weight loss, and acid reflux. They believe it flushes out your body as well and helps with cellulite. So I went to GNC and bought a bottle.
I put some in my hot tea now, 3 times a day. My husband is swigging it out of a cup. I certainly wouldn't recommend swigging it, but i don't mind drinking it in my tea. It gives it a little bit of a kick.
I rubbed my butt and asked my husband if it's getting smoother, but he just laughed at me. But it hasn't even been a week yet. I told Sherri it's supposed to help cellulite and now she wants to try it.
We are all trying to get healthy. My aunt, mother, and I all went to the dollar store today. My mom wanted to buy the grand kids some juice drinks, but become distressed when the kind she almost bought had high fructose corn syrup in them. We are now very much against fructose corn syrup, because it's not good for your liver and pancreas. So we had to search for some drinks that didn't have it. Finally we found some.
It's so crazy when you think about everything that goes into the products we put into our bodies!
I am thinking again about getting in Shaklee, because I know their products are natural, and toxic free, and you don't have to buy a certain amount every month.

On the high fructose corn syrup thing, there are very few products out there that do not have it. Huntz organic ketchup is good, juicy juice products, most 100% juices are good. Things that you would not know contain HFCS, such as store bought bread products. We have watched for HFCS for years, we are also looking out for artificial dyes in things since most come from petrolium products.
