No tums last night.

      My stomach.  Well lets just say we have a strange relationship.  Between the medications for my auto-immune issues and the pressure of 70 extra lbs, my stomach likes to revolt.  It creates too much acid and flat out revolts.  This acid, finds me, whether I have just ate a full meal, or sipped a glass of water.  I've tried prescriptions, which to be honest, might work, if I would take them like I should.  I really hate paying for expensive medication and usually the hot, new, stomach pill is an expensive item.  So Tums or Chewable Pepcid it is until its real bad, then a quick shot of alkaseltzer usally does the trick.  I have a bottle of  liquid antacid at my desk at work, and Tums in my purse.  I have to be prepared no matter my location.
     Every time I lose weight, my reflux gets better.  Last night, I required no acid medication.  If this alone isn't reason for me to lose weight, I don't know what else wood be.   I am looking forward to that day, when I don't have to panic if I am not armed with my arsenal of antacids.  Looking forward to Saturday evening weigh in!
