hmm....

So I have decided to stop recording everything I eat.  It really stresses me out.  I am still going to eat healthy and exercise, but it seems like it takes so much time out of my day to find out how many calories are in what.  I know this will break everyones heart and I'm sorry :( hehe

I went to the doctor this morning.  I have been experiencing terrible heart burn and bad anxiety.  I was prescribed:

Effexor XR for the anxiety

Protonix for the heartburn.

Anybody have any thoughts on this? 

I am very excited.  I am going skiing March 16th-19th.  We made all the arrangements this weekend.  My rich friend is taking us.  Loveland is where we are going.  Any thoughts on this?

I suffered bad heartburn for years...finally started taking Prilosec OTC for like 8 months. I rarely get heartburn now unless I drink cheap-o beer or eat a lot of Italian food.

Are you using caffeine pills for your diet?

There is 180 MG of caffiene in the pills I'm taking.  I take 2 daily.  I tried the prilosec OTC and it did not work, thats why I went to the DR.

If you quit the diet pills, your heartburn will go away...I can almost guarantee it.

Joe's right, the caffiene is more than likely the problem.  I was treated for a stomach ulcer and heartburn a long time ago and the first thing the doctor did was took me off of caffiene and red meat for 6 months and it really helped!

My heartburn was here before I started taking the pills....way before.  It stared off mild, then I would get it when I woke up before I even ate.....or after eating someting like toast.  I only started taking the pills 2 weeks ago, and the heartburn has been around for 6 months. 

Why does caffiene do that?????

I get major hearburn, matter of fact I take a pocket full of Tums to the bar with me!!  Prilosec wroked for awhile and then it stopped all of a sudden!

The doctor gave me some long ass reason but being 15 I didn't really pay any attention but I know between that and the medicine it pretty much stopped.

There is a little flapper valve in your stomach that keeps the acid from backing up in there...caffeine shrinks this flapper thus letting the stomach acid back up through the esophogaus...which is where you get 'heart-burn'

Hmm...didn't know that, thanks man

Have you tried the south beach diet, it really does work, I lost 10 pounds in two weeks. Other than that just eat good stuff, exercise, and eat around 6 times a day, but again make sure it's healthy stuff. If you don't eat regularly and only eat two times a day your body will think its starving and hold on to everything you put into it. If you eat more your matabolism will speed up and get rid of all the bad stuff. I don't know if you knew that or not but that's just a little advice.

I can't really afford any kind of diets like that.....just added lots of fruits and veggies, cut out pop, and I exercise...........

i cant promote the south beach diet enough, its healthy and it works!  but fish and steak is kind of expensive.

I only eat once a day (lunch) and I somehow manage to maintain a pretty slim build.  That's also why I started taking the multi-vitamins.

Dude, just looking at you I can see you burn food at a million miles per hour.

The big thing with the S.B.D. is carb control

Wow, you're really pretty.

Hope your anxiety and heartburn get better.
