Thats interesting. I just started back up on omeprizole but I dont recall if I was on it when I had the B12 related stomach issues.I take a proton pump inhibitor, omeprizole, and I think it depletes b vitamin
That Omeprazole kinda bums me out. I've tried not using it and it's unbearable. Without it, anything I eat, or even if I don't eat at all, acid reflux right up my esophagus to the back of my tongue.Thats interesting.

Ice water, milk, nothing quells the burn. I'm supposed to take it every day but I've got it down to Monday/Wednesday/Friday without having any ill affects. If I go more than 3 days without, it comes back. Looks like I'm stuck with this one for life. The OTC stuff is Prilosec, seems to work the same. I'm going to stock up this year, just in case the ball drops, I won't have that issue to deal with.
How did this go? Cream and sugar in my coffee is my one weakness.I also ordered Balance of Nature veggie and fruit supplements. Could be pure snake oil but I'm going to give it a try.
My daily intake now is vit c, vit d and zinc. That along with some healthy foods should help my immune system.
Decided to cut out cream and sugar in my morning coffee. Starts tomorrow... Let's see how that goes.

Once you get used to the flavor of coffee there’s no going back. I used to use cream & sugar.How did this go? Cream and sugar in my coffee is my one weakness.
I was checked for that a while back. I think the same time they did a colonoscopy. Probably due for another colonoscopy.Same here. I have to take 20mg pills twice a day to keep mine at bay. I’ve been on it for 10 years so had to do an endoscopy to make sure I wasn’t developing Barrett’s syndrome. Luckily all clear.
I've had black coffee on and off over the years so I knew what I was getting into. Maybe onece or twice a year I will have a black cup. Usually not by choice. I just never had the urge to switch my routine cold turkey.How did this go? Cream and sugar in my coffee is my one weakness.

Day one my first two sips tasted bad. Then the rest of the cup was good. Day two the whole cup tasted good. Day three tomorrow.... Hope it was like day two....
I could do just cream maybe but I really want to cut that out too. I like milk and won't give that up.Ugh. I remember when I had to quit sugar as a whole due to a diabetic discovery. Coffee just sucked for a month as I tried to get used to just cream. Finally happened and I can’t even imagine putting sugar in it again. Can’t get used to it with no cream and we drink good coffee.
Eff it. I’ll start tomorrow no milk or sugar.Well black coffee after day 5 was indeed good. No more need for cream and sugar. Just an update....
Cold turkey. It's the only way. First few sips are tough... Then it's smooth...Eff it. I’ll start tomorrow no milk or sugar.
Green lipped sea mussel (sounds like a punch-line to a joke,but its real & works)Can anyone recommend a good joint pain suppliment? Anti—inflamitory maybe? Looking to add something to my regimen. I took fish oil for about 6 months and didn't notice anything.
Maybe a collagen suppliment?
black & strong?I like my coffee like I like my women.
rich and full bodied!
SWANSON vitamins is my wifes and my go-to. Wife worked at GNC 10 years, they're pretty good as well, but seems most boxes come to the house from Swansons....Other than Amazon, can anyone recommend a good site for supplements?
Thank you. I just ordered a bunch of stuff. Seemed like good deals too.SWANSON vitamins is my wifes and my go-to. Wife worked at GNC 10 years, they're pretty good as well, but seems most boxes come to the house from Swansons....
I can find some deals on Groupon, especially tumeric....actually, tumeric is about it...oh yeah, cbd fruit as well. Skip the gummies, they've got more dyes than a hippies shirt.
On topic...gawd, I take a lot of stuff...multi, d, k,mushroom powders, elderberry, nac, omega 3-6-9 yada yada. Dropped health insurance, docs almost killed me several times, last being 2 years back and I'd rather listen to my body than listen to them. a "beefed up" protein powder before a run/workout, adding magnesium, potassium, msm, and a vitamin c packet. I also take a swig of silver biotics most days, and olive leaf extract during flu season.
Sore, achy joints...you can try glucosamine w/ condroitin, msm, omegas(fish,flaxseed,olive oils) and collagen, which comes in a pretty tasteless powder.
Im supposed to take it twice a day but once has been fine for me. Missed a day last week and didnt realize until I was feeling the burn.That Omeprazole kinda bums me out.

Not me, I take my coffee light, no sugar.Cold and bitter![]()
Dirt Poor: Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious? There are a lot of articles about soil depletion and pesticides etc. Plus the standard processed American diet is probably missing some nutrients and trace minerals. Also the USDA daily percentage for most vitamins are set at the level to keep you alive not necessarily for optimum health. You need to find what works for you. I figured out what works for me from trial and error. But it keeps me going and I can tell when I skip them for more than a couple of days.In this country, very few people need vitamins. That said, if taking them makes you feel better (either because they're actually working, or it's the placebo effect), go for it.
I like this collagen powder. It's a more complete mix. It disolves easily and I mix it into soups and baked goods as well,Can anyone recommend a good joint pain suppliment? Anti—inflamitory maybe? Looking to add something to my regimen. I took fish oil for about 6 months and didn't notice anything.

Another second for Swansons. Also Vitacost has a good brand and some decent sales.Other than Amazon, can anyone recommend a good site for supplements?
Stuff like that used to bother me too, even when young and thin they made me drink barium and spin around on a turntable to find something but never did. Then I discovered ghost peppers - like hot enough to go to the hospital if they get near your eyes - and somehow they feed the demon in my belly and it's left me alone ever since. I've heard it elsewhere that the spicy food is good for gut health, but maybe not for everyone. I add tumeric powder to everything possible for respiratory health, and eat alot of shitake mushrooms for the cancer prevention (I hope).Im supposed to take it twice a day but once has been fine for me. Missed a day last week and didnt realize until I was feeling the burn.
It is a miracle drug though. I could eat a pepperoni and onion pizza at midnight, go straight to bed and wouldnt experience the slightest burn. Without it, Im burning regardless of what I eat or dont eat. Good idea to stock up on the otc stuff.
