I was glad to hear about the bay leaves being of help.Didnt know that.My pain went away after I started changing things,sleeping with a wedge,not eating 2-3 hours before bed and taking protonix.I also find maalox chewables extra strength helps me also.Hope some of this advice helps,sleeping with a wedge took some getting use to,but if it helps it is well worth it.Good luck to you,

Food and stress plays a big part..never be upset at the dinner table before having a meal..and yes trigger foods will make things worse...but everybodys eating habits are different..Nick..

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
