Started to get a lot of heartburn a long time ago.
Had a lot of tests.
Told to cut out nearly all hydrogenated oils and lard (essentially the same thing).
Almost no heartburn anymore.
Cut back sodium (under 2200mg/day) and caffeine soda (about 1 can a week).
Almost no more headaches, and (with some regular exercise) lowered blood pressure, too.
And balanced meals. Plenty of water. Vitamin C and wash hands after doorknobs and money.
Those are the basics anyway. I'm still learning.
Best of wishes... ^v^

Glad you could get over the trouble. Congratulations. ;)

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by what sort of assistance and orientation.. *peeps, and wingfuzzles your ears*... It was just regular doctors and some specialist referrals... Like, for a skin ailment you would see a dermatologist and for a foot one you would see a podiatrist ... For other specialties they have specialists too. I hope you have a good regular doctor... *hugs and wishes well*
