Thanks for the encouragement. :-)
I have been gluten-free and dairy-free for almost 6 years, with a few slip ups along the way. For the past 3 months I've eaten nothing but a large variety of vegetables, bean sprouts, rice, extra virgin olive oil, multivitamins and probiotics. Green tea 3 times a day.
I originally had GERD in '92 and began famotidine (Pepcid) in 2005 but it turned into a stomach problem by 2008. I'm dependent on famotidine I think because if I quit or taper down I get rebound acid.
I have figured out that going low carb has eliminated most of the GERD.The probiotic strain I take (brand name is "Rillus", made in Europe) is Lactobacillus reuteri. It seems to boost my immunity.
alprazolam 1mg QID, famotidine 40mg QID, cetirizine 10mg BID, GNC Ultra Mega Gold BID, probiotics, quit smoking on 20 Nov 12
