Marcia,

I have found that a high quality probiotic powder is the best thing for heartburn. You can pick up a small jar that will last a long time. Buy a brand that is refrigerated. I have struggled with heartburn ever since chemo, which apparently, according to my Onc., is a very common occurrence.

I am really believing this is nothing more than you are growing older. Isn't it great to be rejoicing in gaining years? Amazing how you appreciate every day now, isn't it? Praying this is nothing more than heartburn (which sucks I can tell you, but beats BC any day of the week!).

Gotta go watch the Packers play the Saints now. My husband is a huge Packers fan and his twin is an equally crazed Saints fan! Go figure.
