Allison I agree with you dropping your pee where you did. My friend opens a trap door under her van and the pee comes out as she is driving down the highway. She refills it with biodegradible soapy water rinses it out and is good to go..
Those that dont agree can kiss our grits.
Be Blessed Allison
Please remember motorcycle riders. Thanks.
Disgusting
Selfish
Just a tip for storing all those bags of salad mix.....either open the bag or poke a hole in it near the top and then reseal with clip after squeezing the air out of them. Hopefully this will give you a little more storage room.
Nice! Lol...I have a full fridge & this is a great tip!
Stick a paper towel in the bag to help keep it fresh. AND I live in Jacksonville. Reach out if wanna meet up.
Rots faster once the vacuum seal is broken.
Ya know, sometimes I, as well as others, NEED TO ovrnite in a WM parking lot, on the outskirts. I've had to leave & risk the "knock" by parking in nearby neighborhood because of the pungent STENCH of people dumping piss! I'm just being honest. PLEASE, do that at a gas station! Ur a beautiful, well spoken, INTELLIGENT young LADY! 🙏✌️🤗😎
Chiropractic care is great! Our whole life is in our spine. Being properly aligned, your Gerd may diminish as well. 🥰
* Sorry for the couple black screens, I made an error in editing and it left a couple gaps* 😫
It's all good I enjoy your videos keep up the great work be safe my friend
I thought you’d put them in as a dramatic pause!
FYI, urine is very good for the soil, it adds nitrogen, in fact many people add it to their compost bins. Thank you for doing your part for the environment.
I used to have a house with only one bathroom and it was downstairs (bedrooms were upstairs). I used a chamber pot so I wouldn’t have to walk downstairs when groggy. I would take it downstairs and dump it, but sometimes I was lazy and dumped it out the bedroom window. One day I was outside and saw that the grass underneath the bedroom window was so lush and green compared to the surrounding grass!
Get rid of bread and yogurt it's heated so no vitamins or prebiotic. Dont drink coffee after 2pm buy low acid coffee only. No sugar only stevia. 🍀Barnes and Noble books are your best friend..🍀
@adonna price stevia isn't good either. Doc told me the body doesn't know the difference...it's just all sugars.
Cat holes are only supposed to be far from water, so as long as that is still followed, I don’t see the difference.
Glad to know I’m not the only one. I’m a gardener and urine/ nitrogen is an excellent fertilizer.
I love that you start your day with Bible reading, with a pad and pen to write down any revelations and/or thoughts. Makes your whole day go better!👍
Just an FYI regarding a potential cause to your GERD
Excessive Fibers - Can Cause Indigestion
As we know that chia seeds are filled with dietary fiber, the heavy intake of chia seeds will cause high fiber intake.
I agree, use only 15grams/ 2 tbsp a day
I wish you well on your journey. You may want to know that it's best to grind your chia or flax seeds before eating them. Otherwise they don't break down in your digestive system, and literally come out the same way they went in. None of the wonderful omega's will be absorbed if they are not released from the seed. These seeds are tiny enough to get caught in the many twists and turns of our colon, and could cause health problems over time; like diverticulitis! Just some peaceful loving advice from a Clinical Nutritionist, not meant to be critical here. Best to buy the seeds whole, then grind just the amount you're going to consume before you eat them. Store them in fridge to maintain the viability of the omega oils.
I 100% respect you for your honesty & straight forward way of talking. ☺🙋♀️🙏
I culture my own Kiefer. Very easy, simple. When my gut was happy, my waist was happy too, not bloated anymore. 🙋♀️ 🙏🙏🙏
Hey Allison!!!
Idon't know if anyone mentioned this but in case they didn't, the reflux needs to be evaluated. There's a condition known as silent reflux where you're asymptomatic. The problem with this is that persistent irritation can lead to a condition called Barrett's esophagus. Really ups the chance of developing esophageal cancer. I'm an RN and take care of reflux ( or GERD) patients pretty often. Just the next time you see your primary care provider please mention the reflux. In the mean time a 30 degree foam wedge under the mattress can reduce it at night.
Peace be on your house ( or van)
In His name
Apple cidar vinegar
reflux is cured by apple cider vinager- its low acid-- not too much aacid---- look up dr. ken berry and go carnivore cure all your health issues
The pain you described could be your gallbladder; I had same symptoms for weeks leading up to a massive gallbladder attack (never had GERD in my life). A change in diet kept me from needing surgery. 😊
I had my Gallbladder removed last year. I developed Bile Acid Malabsorption. I'll have it for the rest of my life. If only I knew that it was a possibility, I wouldn't have had it removed. And only changed my diet. That's great that you didn't have yours removed. ☺🙏
I was thinking the same. Mine had to be removed. No pills relieved the pain and back then I was a big baby when it came to pain.
I was about to type it and wondered if anyone else mentioned it.
@@DiamondButterfly921 I had my removed also ,i find gas x really helps especially if it eat something to greasy or oily
You forgot the munch sounds when eating the Starbucks sandwich 😅
If I was living in a van I would compost my waste in a 5 gallon bucket. This way you are able to throw in cardboard, food scraps, etc and use pine pellets to absorb the liquid and leave a lovely pine scent. Throw a beautiful towel over it and spray it with peppermint essential oil or any scent that is pleasing and uplifting. Van will smell great and all waste goes in one place, easy peasy.
Always read your instructions !
I've suffered from gerd most of my adulthood. I park my van so my head is much higher than my feet, has helped immensely
Concerning the GERD issue, my experience, you are lacking hylaraunic acid (sp) in your stomach. There is a product called Digest Gold that works wonders, I also take activated charcoal which helps get the food to move from the stomach a little faster. No dairy for me so I found these two items to be life changing. 🙂
My kefir looks similar but it unflavored and 110 cal. I do make a big blended meal smoothie using 1 cup, frozen fruit and or banana or apple. Some spinach, chia seeds, flaxseed. I will add a drop of vanilla if I want to cut the tangyness a bit.
I love plain kefir, and yogurt. They are sweet enough without sugar.
I am so sorry you are experiencing discomfort & pain. I enjoy your videos so much!
Please listen to those saying gallbladder. It’s often misdiagnosed until it’s too late to reverse especially in women. Find a Dr who will check your gall bladder function not just imaging. I was sent home from the hospital 6 times with no diagnosis from the same thing you describe. (And told GERD). By the time I was properly diagnosed my gallbladder was zero percent functional, I was put on IV antibiotics for 2 days and nothing by mouth before they could even do the surgery to remove it. Nothing is the same after you lose your gallbladder no matter what they tell you. Save your gallbladder while you can. If you can.
I live in Jax Bch my whole life...maybe a meet and play on the beach?!?!?be safe girlie...btw im a 51 yr old woman with 2 grown kids and 1 is a 6 yr Marine.💙💙💙
Love your vids and bravery! Only one suggestion: as if you don't know already where to dump your urine: just make sure it is at least 3 meters (yards) away from a watercourse, whether that is a ditch, Lake or stream. Nature has a wonderful way of getting rid of our toxic pee germies when exposed to sun, but if the rain leeches it to a drain, it can spread around and who know a small animal could drink it and get sick. Just saying!
There’s a product that gels and biodegrades the urine, too. I saw it on a nomad’s video
bleach @@karenkelly1451
It’s always great keeping up with you! I saw your video appear and you carry yourself well. I like your go live life and don’t hesitate mentality.
My sister used to live in Jacksonville. She loved it. The beach is beautiful!!! Enjoy your time with your friend. 😁
Two things always better when someone else makes it….coffee and a sandwich
100%! That sandwich love is real 😆
Omg I feel the same exact way, just visted a friend , made me a sandwich and it was amazing. Lol
I feel this with almost everything LOL. I’m not a terrible cook, but whenever I make food, it is unappealing to me and tastes just meh. If someone else makes the exact same thing, I love it.
So true!
Any grub whatsoever, ms d. I have of phobia of kitchens !
I love Jax, Fl. 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar mixed in water helps with GERD.
Is that taken on an empty stomach or with food? Thanks Gina.
“Drinking apple cider vinegar at least 30 minutes before bed may lower your risk of indigestion or acid reflux after laying down. Enjoy it in other ways. Apple cider vinegar can be used on a salad or in a marinade for meat or vegetables, which may be a more pleasant way to consume it than drinking it.” So with or without food, it should be okay.
If your battery can handle it, you can look into getting a heated mattress pad to go under your sheet in the colder months. This way you'll be cozy and not hurting your back.
I’ve hd herd for years. At night a few helpful hints are, 1. Don’t lie down for 2 hours after you eat. 2. Sleep propped up with pillows 3. An herb called slippery elm bark helps tremendously. 3 a tea called throat coat to start the day helps a ton. 4. Be careful with coffee, I love coffee so much but sometimes I have to stop for a while and I’ve learned to never drink it on an empty stomach , this as been a game changer. 5. Try to walk I. The morning and evening. There are a lot of CZcams videos with very good info. Hope this helps~ gerd suck! And it will get worse if you don’t take it seriously. Safe travels
Allison, I used to have the same problem with acid reflux. I thought that I was having a heart attack. I started taking a prescription for Reglan and it got better. Plus urine in the bushes is not a bad thing. Probably makes them grow better.
Urine is full of AMMONIA, kills plants!
I had that same pain that's signs of gall stones and it went into my chest I had to have my gallbladder removed years ago so please be aware it was up right pain in my back and went into my chest
😂I know my bun is out of control… I tried to fix it 45 times😂😂😂 welcome to Florida!!!🎉
Don’t feel bad. I didn’t notice any of those things on my little collapsible pot. So good to know, thanks. FYI: Your editing left blank black screen between many of the cuts 🤔
I just bought that kettle and I didn’t know either of those things! Thanks for sharing those details!😂👍
If you are in a populated area you may want to consider using Carebags commode liners. They absorb liquid then turn it into a gel and have drawstring closure that you can throw away in a trash can. I personally don't mind people dumping some urine in soil ( it probably adds beneficial nitrogen) and would rather that than peeing into a bottle and placing it in a trash can where it might spill open ,but to avoid any conflict with some who may witness pouring something into soil or plants I would use Carebags until I'm out of the city.
I could show you around little bit for house hunting 😊
I used long years ago to have acid reflux, at the time someone from my family that loves to read and to use natural medicine suggested me to try lemon and ginger tea with honey, it did worked for me and for more than a decade a didn't have any problem with acid reflux, and I am a coffee lover too. I think you could put this one in your list to try it, it is health and a delicious tea, I hope it works for you as did for me. 😊
I pray all your people in Texas did well with the tornadoes...I pray for your safty for these who travel with you or stay at your home base.
👍👍👍❤❤❤
I’ve emptied urine in similar places too! Feel same thing! Other than that I take it to restrooms in local parks.
So you know what’s up!!
Porta pottie. I use leak proof trash bags with 4 paper towels in bottom. When done tie bag put in kroger bag an dump out side. Reliad pottie and put it up. When u get up in am for coffee put bag in trash can
We don’t have plastic bags available here at all. Target gives out nice paper ones or fiber ones. I reuse those.
Wow that’s cool!
Pretty beach. Fabulous sunset
Yes, thanks!
Plain Kieffer (and yogurt too) can be enhanced with water enhancers like MIO. Less sugar
Definitely a topic that most who travel in a van don't think about when getting started! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
That sunset was beautiful Allison! I could live in Florida. Been there on vacation a couple of times. Watching you from Indiana and a couple inches of snow outside. Take care!
I was born and raised in Columbus Ohio,, but have loved living in Daytona for nearly 7 yrs now with zero plans of ever seeing snow or freezing weather ever again🥰😀. I love love love it here!! 🌞🌞 I live 2 blocks walking distance from the ocean/surf of the worlds most popular beach and I absolutely love it🌞🌊
Make sure your friends tell you what area of town to look at, as far as finding a place to live. The cheaper areas are the worst of course.
Buttermilk is a cheaper alternative to kefir.
My holistic doctor says to always take an enzyme/probiotic combo before meals to help with stomach issues. I found one on Amazon.
The sunset view was beautiful! You & I agree on the #1!
Allison, When I try to lay down and relax at night, I feel that pain sometimes. I was told his was stressed muscles trying to relax all at once. I am trying to walk just a bit and do some very mild stretches before laying down. It has helped.
You can buy plain keifer and the calories are much lower. The flavored kinds are high in sugar.
Ok great to know! Thank you for the info.
That salad you got is so so yummy! Luv luv the dressing they include!
Thanks for the breakfast info Allison. I have 20 lbs to lose. Your discovery of handles is great. Pigtails suit you, but Jaguars lost.Sorry. Great food choices. Stay Beautiful, entertaining, and adventurous. Ocean Beach looks great.
God Bless you in your travels!You have inspired me and Im hoping to do the same thing this year!
GERD: you have carbonic acid, which means your food isn't digesting, it's fermenting. You need _more_ stomach acid (hydrochloric acid.) You can get this by taking oregano oil capsules or ingesting any "digestive" herbs and spices like ginger, cardamom, dill, etc. I got a handle on mine by drinking Bigelow's vanilla chai after meals.
Oh-- and try to avoid especially sugar, but also pretty much processed foods entirely. But especially sugar.
The ketchup is probably ok.
Sending healing prayers your way. 🙏💚
Sbx has a nice chai latte.
There are cheap low calorie probiotic options in dairy case that are cheap like Activia etc
Love your channel. You have such a great personality. Keep the adventures coming.
My GERD went completely away by going low carb and increasing my protein and fat. Instead of getting rid of the bacon in your salad, maybe lose whatever might be sweet in there. I stopped sugar and all the starchy carbs. It has changed my life. The best part was the mental health boost, brain fog gone, motivation is back , energy is crazy and so many chronic health issues resolved. For me it's been a miracle worker. And zero medications! I'm in my 50's btw.
Have you seen a doctor about the reflux, acid heartburn and vomiting during sleep? I put up with this for 25 years on meds that did little more than settle the pain and heartburn. I then moved to a different area and the doc and me for loads of tests. It turns out that I have a hiatus hernia and the ridges in my bullet are actually smooth. My meds have been changed to gastro resistant tablets twice a day.one to be taken half an hour before food morning and evening. The medication puts a deal across the hernia in
I have an hiatal hernia also, and the only thing cured my acid reflux and gut issues was apple cider vinegar shot per day for about a week or until better.
And less stress, but even that really is no match the balance of gut bacteria with UNFILTERED ACV. BRAGGS brand is best tasting. (Just so you know !)
Lol i have the same water kettle lol your funny. Your awesome!!
I have a collapsible kettle like yours, I knew about the handle but I didn’t know about the button on the bottom, thank you for the information.
Glad I could help!
I live in Jax. Saying on the outskirts is like night and day and I loveeee out beaches!
I get you on the urine. But fyi...running your vehicle so low on oil that the light comes on is taking thousands of miles of life off your vehicle. Ask any mechanic - oil=life for your van.
Girl your hair maybe had been the star of the show because it was in a bun in the beginning but your hair looks great afterwards too! I just got done with my two-week excursion and it ended in disaster my car ended up breaking down after I got off the freeway and pulled into a gas station, thank God because earlier I had been on a road that was out in the middle of nowhere instead of going through Los Angeles and that would have been really scary if it had broken down over there. And luckily I was within a 200-mile radius of my home, just barely, so I was able to get towed home but I'm pretty sure my car is totaled it's probably the transmission or a belt broke I'm not really sure but now I can't work cuz I do delivery for a living so I'm really wondering what I'm going to do now.
Regarding GERD! I found out that tomato-based foods causes me to have severe reflux. It cuts out many of my favorite foods, but the pain was real 😳. Love your channel 😊
Great video hope you got that oil changed 😀😀 I'm really interested to see you look for a place to live in Jacksonville I never been there looking forward to the next episode
Thanks for sharing
I have here also & found that anything with coloring added is one of the things that starts it up. Also some fruits, acidy fruits. I keep peppermint handy because it helps me.
Autocorrect changed gerd to here lol
Love Tallahassee and Jax/Duval raised, love your channel since you got your van and built out. If I saw you at my publix by the beach would have talked you about your travels. I lay elevated because of my reflex had two surgeries, and it's painful trying my best. I have Gerd also, good luck, I love the videos 😊
Last time I was on Jacksonville Beach was about 1973 or 74. Jacksonville was my birthplace
Awesome murals! Have fun in Savannah!
I had a big problem with acid reflux and it also creates so many bubbles that I can’t breathe end up in the emergency ward and they think I’m having a heart attack. That’s how intense it got. It’s a simple cure put baking soda in water drink it that gets rid of that neutralize it just like a car battery or you can drink lemon water It’s that simple it was for me. Anyway good luck with that.
I’ve only lived in Florida for 1.5 yrs and have learned to shop around. Publix is fabulous for their bakery and even their fruit and produce is pretty decent and not too crazy priced. I shop mostly at Aldi and Sam’s and for just the few items that cannot be found at either, I’ll do publix. Luckily in my area they are practically right across the street from each other so it’s kinda like one stop shopping.
I only drink a small amount of kefir a day, maybe 1/2 cup or so. I’m not sure how much it helps but I actually do like it.
Most Kefir has a lot of sugars, also dairy turns to sugars in the body. A great alternative for building up natural good flora/probiotics in the body is KIMCHI. This has been used for thousands of years and it’s much healthier and effective. Yeah, it doesn’t taste as “fun” to most of us but it’s much better for our bodies. We can even make it ourselves if desired. I love your videos and seeing your grocery hauls!! I too don’t do Starbucks for many reasons. Dunkin Donuts many years ago used to have tasty coffee but nit so much anymore, and it’s all SO overpriced!!! Edit: also Kimchi is very low calorie. You can find it usually cheaper in Asian type markets too.
Kimchi is a great topper for many foods. I use it like salsa or ketchup.
@@michelle7352 that’s awesome!!! I found that the more sugar i got out of my diet, the more my natural tastebuds changed. So what used to taste “ick” to me, took on a whole other taste and became bearable, even enjoyable. Sugar truly is our enemy. Causes inflammation and turns to fat in the body. Kimchi as a topper is excellent like you said! Even buying those expensive extra fermented pickles (Bubbies brand) are soooo yummy and full of healthy pre/probiotics for gut Health too!
Surprisingly I I’ve Kimchi.
I love Kimchi! I second that!
Store bought kefir has a lot of sugar, yes, but when you make it at home, there is virtually no sugar. The kefir grains eat all the sugar out of the milk as it is fermenting, and it is very healthy for you. But yeah, too bad the store bought stuff isn't so good... WAY too much sugar, so if people don't know the difference they think all kefir is sugary, which is so far from the truth.
I don’t know if Florida had the salad restaurant chain named Salad and Go, but I recently discovered they have a 24 Oz. Ice coffee for $1.24 they have a pretty decent but limited add ins like 1/2 and 1/2, almond milk, simple syrup, etc. It’s very good and refreshing. Their salads and wraps are good too, the salad container is huge, so you can put your dressing on, the. Recover it and shake it to distribute the dressing. The ultimate tossed salad, AND The salads are like $5.00!
I remember when you lived in your car and would park close to a storm drain so you could dispose of your urine right into the sewer. I genuinely hope there’s no one out here that opposes how you do things, those plants get watered almost every night, so the sprinklers will was away and dilute your offerings!
Hope you get a grasp on that GERD, I too take the generic equivalent of protonix, and at one time took it twice a day. The problem with proton pump inhibitors is that they’ve been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, so taking it short term is fine, while your body heals and gets back in balance, your body has been thru A LOT over the past few months, heck, your body hasn’t even cleared out the anesthesia from your surgery. The GERD could be what caused your pneumonia though, so I’m really glad your trying to fix it with diet, exercise, and medication. BTW it looks like someone played a real live version of Fruit Ninja out there at the beach!!! 😂
If you research it you'll find that gerd is actually a low acid problem and so taking antacids is the worst thing to do. Take a spoonful of baking soda in water instead. That diet that she is on is absolutely horrific and if she doesn't change it then she will most likely lose her gall bladder and worse.
Gorgeous sunset!! It's SO HUMID in Fla in summer tho. Misery!!!! 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Lol it was the Starbucks that got you all sugar wasted lol hard to relax on a caffeine high 😹😹😹
I live in northwest Florida and there are multiple places to live in Florida rather than Jacksonville. Ocala area is the prettiest area in Florida if beach access is not critical. Orlando area is best for things to do. Miami to Palm Beach is best for beaches and things to do with a big city vibe. When you want to settle down eventually take a month or two to explore Florida. Florida has no state income tax. The climate is hot particularly in summer but there is zero snow and ice storms etc. Winter and the shoulder seasons are great temperature wise, typically mild and comfortable. 😅
I would live in Jacksonville any day over Orlando,West Palm or Miami.
You could dump your black water into a city trashcan. Just dump the closed trash bag. It is legal by the way
I get that too with my GERD. The pain in your chest, the pain in my Upper back and my shoulder. I actually thought i was having a heart attack but went and had it all ruled out. They put me on Omeprazol for it. I do try to watch my diet too, but have learned to make sure i take the Omeprazole before i take Aleve for my body pain, or spicy food and even coffee can be a trigger. Try to stick to organic. Trader Joe’s has a great one if you are traveling around, then you can stop in there.
Did you know coffee & Gerd don’t mix. As in in can help cause it. I have been drinking coffee for about 30+ years (I’m much older then you as I’m 67). I just started drinking chai tea this past Tuesday. It seems to be working. Btw I drank very strong coffee. & no headaches. What!
Monk fruit tastes better with no aftertaste & they also have drops. Just sharing some knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. Also I think chia seeds need to be refrigerated for the benefit.
Keep rocking girl!
Have you considered getting a dog, best companion and sense of protection. I seen many women living the van life and have a dog, am wanting to live a van life but no way would I NOT have my dog, best friend and protector. I hope your feeling better, stay safe and God Bless💕
Also, agreed, urine is great for the soil and the plants as it has nitrogen.
Yay, Go Noles!!!!! That's where my baby and I are from
Publix is always high, and especially at the beach! But you can usually find whatever you want. Go to Aldi's instead.
Girl, honesty really is the best policy! The problem is that a lot of folks now get their feelings hurt too easily! Bunch of cry babies IMHO!!
I love that you're honest😍 it's the best quality someone can have👌 & the reason I subscribed and like your vids (:👍
Thank you so much!!
Nice vid. I got same pot. Did not know i could detach handle like that. Thx
HAHAHAHA I just don't know why we make things so difficult for ourselves. Lol. Reading the directions is just too much work sometimes. Lol
The tires are most likely just deflated as the car has been sitting there forever. It happens. Found online "You may find that your tyres lose pressure or start to slightly deflate over time while the car is immobile. This is because rubber is porous, and while it's not enough to cause an issue normally, air molecules can make their way through the rubber slowly over a period of time."
Those 4 flats look like someone have got caught cheating 🤔😬 just a thought
@@anitacash5919 That's exactly what I thought.
@@NYCHFAN Nah there would be an angry message in lipstick on the windows...
U may need one of those back things ,, from truck stop ,, black wire mesh type,, or a soft back thing that's for driving long distance,, that u place behind ur back in driver seat 🪑🪑🙏🏽🙏🏽
Seeing you on the beach makes me homesick. I lived in Fort Myers for 40 years and Daytona Beach for one. I worked at Publix and yes they are much more expensive. I can't afford to go there anymore. They do have the best subs !
My tree fell down in my yard. The good part is that i can sit in my chair and see gorgeous sunsets. 🌇
Fresh ginger root tea, kim-chi, sauerkraut 🤗
Get you a 12 volt electric blanket heat really helps pain. Plus you are supposed to be sorta propped up due to the Gerd. I’ve had several surgeries to open up my throat. Esophagus. No fun
Must try munk fruit sweetener, I mostly enjoy the “now” brand organic extract powder. You use very little and it’s perfect with coffee or tea. A little pricey on Amazon but i think it’s worth it. Also may not apply to you but your GERD and back pain sounds like gallbladder symptoms. Even if you’ve had yours out you can still experience spasms in biliary ducts. Only thing that helped me was limiting processed foods, baked goods, higher fat foods
I’ve enjoyed your videos lately … I hate when it’s over 😊
Aw thank you 🙏🏼
It's so funny. You're on the opposite journey I am. I came down to FL from VT, and now in TX heading West. I stayed in Jacksonville for a couple of days. I also stayed in Shreveport. I have a designated shopping bag for my pee jug, and take it into gas station restrooms, park restrooms, rest stop restrooms. I would never bring it in a retail establishment. I would, however, be mortified if someone saw me dumping it in public. We all have different protocol that we're comfortable with. Safe travels!
stunning sunset!
I’m from Jacksonville, love to meet you next week?
It's not about calories in and calories out for weight loss/control. To relieve GERD try eating whole foods only with no sweets. Veggies like Broccoli are very hard on the gut and digestive system. Eat more protein and less bread, starchy carbs, and sugar and sugar substitutes. Animal fat, such as Lard and tallow, are not the enemy. They help to keep you sated. It worked for me. A lot of truck drivers get upper back pain from their raised arm position while driving.
Yes I had gerd years ago and it went away when I gave up carbs.
W-D 40 for glue or sticky situations❣️☮️
Life Extension Digestive Enzymes helps alot also. Take one capsule right after eating.
I have a cool way to avoid all that…I have a camping toilet seat on a 5 gallon bucket…KITTY LITTER WORKS PERFECT JUST TOSS IT IN A TRASH CAN …💁🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
