Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!

And while I hope we remember to give sincere thanks for all our blessings and reach out to those less fortunate, let’s face it, we’re all going to be busy eating one heck of a meal!

Unfortunately, many will be paying the price afterwards!

Gas, bloating, heartburn, flatulence, you-name-it.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Here’s why.

I have a special announcement for all you acid reflux sufferers.  Today is National Spicy Guacamole Day!  Now, if the mere thought of spicy foods like guacamole just set your chest on fire, or you think I’m off my rocker to even mention spicy foods to you, hear me out.

Heartburn has now become gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for which the almighty acid reducer is the king of relief.  Let’s look at what’s really going on with GERD and how you can get relief without drugs.

It shouldn’t be this way, but as a nation we have seriously screwed up something that should be relatively straightforward. Food!  Food simply isn’t what it used to be…plus one day you can read a study that says a certain food is bad, and the next day another study that says it’s healthy!

When something is leaking (like a roof or the oil in your car) it’s never a good thing—usually damage and destruction are the end result.  Well, this is especially true of a leaky gut wall!

Say you go to the doctor because you're having bouts of bloating, gas, constipation and/or heartburn.  After going through a series of questions and some tests, you get your diagnosis—possibly acid reflux, chronic constipation, IBS, etc.
