Oh, No!!!!!

A really good non medicinal way to alleviate Acid reflux is raw almonds. chew and swallow 2-4 raw almonds and give it about 45 seconds heartburn will go away due to the natural oils in the nuts.


Good Luck!

He put me on some antibiotics, steroids, bronchodilators for my chest, and Nexium. Recommendations are:

1. Lose any extra weight. (Need to definitely do that!)
2. Don't work out near bedtime. (What's a "Workout"?)
3. Limit alcohol, caffeine, and fizzy beverages. (Is there anything else you can drink?)
4. Don't Smoke!

Just thought I would pass this along for any inmates who might be having similar symptoms.

Thanks for listening!
