Hey, whatever works. I have no problem with others sharing their health tips. It's all for the greater good!
Here's an update on my situation: I have been drinking mostly water for the last several days, now. I have noticed that my stomach is nowhere near as bloated as it was, I haven't had any real heartburn issues, and I'm REALLY starting to like drinking water! I'm actually asking for it instead of Coke or Pepsi when we go out. I'm looking forward to weighing myself, because I'm pretty sure I've lost at least a couple of pounds, too.
I just hope I can keep this going. Good luck to all of you who are also struggling with this!
