Continuing my list of supplements to help relieve LPR: Calcium with Magnesium and Zinc – I read that calcium citrate can help heal the LES (lower esophageal sphincter), so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have some calcium anyway. It’s a huge pill, so I let it sit in my mouth with a little water […]
Year: 2017
UPDATE from my previous post – The biopsy came back benign – Thank you, God! Some minor irritation of gastritis in the stomachs is the official result. In an effort to relieve my symptoms of LPR, I’ve been taking various natural supplements since April, but diligently since May 1, 2017. Now I will begin to […]
These are the things I’m doing to alleviate my digestion symptoms of LPR: Yesterday, I did an endoscopy. I want to rule out any serious damage that’s been done to my system since I think I’ve had LPR for some time without realizing it. In February, I did a colonoscopy. I figured I better check […]
I don’t know if I’m feeling better or worst, or just that I’m more aware of my symptoms. In December 2016 when I experienced pain in my stomach area, I went to see my doctor. She did blood work and ultrasound on my pancreas and everything was normal. I self-diagnosis that it was some digestion […]
I inherited my mom’s very heavy down comforter. It weighs 14 pounds (yes, I weigh it). I love that blanket. My elder daughter is in line to inherit it from me. But that blanket is too hot to use, even in the winter, even without the heater on at night. But I love the way […]
I borrow this book from HL since I’m interested in the evolution of the Asian American church. I’ve read online articles by DJ Chuang and generally like to read his insights. I skimmed through this book because I don’t really want or need the details. I have many other books I want to read. And […]
My son had been talking about living on a farm and recommended this book. After reading it, I want to live on a farm too! I don’t have cable TV so I’ve not seen Fixer Upper. I love the book – read it in 3 days while other books are waiting in a stack. God […]
The subtitle is “Leading change in the church”. I could’ve used this book when I was at my previous church. Though the results of failing to make the changes we tried to make would not have changed, it would’ve prepared me better. From what I learned from that experience, I did a better job at […]
I am talking to a friend about where she plays tennis, I’d like to join her. “What do you wear to play?” she asks. “T-shirt and shorts, is that ok?” Why does she want to know what I wear?? Then I hear a vibrate noise and I check my phone – but it’s not my […]
This book is under the J section of the library – for Juvenile. My friend used this historical fiction in homeschooling her sons. I read it to consider using the book to teach English in Taiwan. The historical setting is in the days of Jesus. These are a few short conversations between the main characters […]
