A little introduction

As many of you know, I've been having digestive problems for many years...pretty much since my senior year of college. Since I was diagnosed with GERD back in spring of 2010, things have been under control and feasible until recently...even being pregnant with Chloe was a fairly good road. We've had some big stresses in the past 7-8 months of jobs, moving, housing, tight finances  - all of which hasn't helped my health. Yet, Heavenly Father knows how much I can handle and lately we've been blessed with some major blessings.

It's not going to be easy to start more strictly on this GERD diet or life style change. Oh, how its been a rocky start with lots of tears, nauseousness, and research. I've eliminated various foods for a couple days here and there, but nothing straight for one, two or even three weeks straight.

Please understand I'm not trying not to whine or complain....I'm just asking for a strong support group that will be there for me when I fall or slip in naughty foods when I'm not supposed to.

Hopefully as we start on this long journey ahead, we'll be ahead to find foods that my stomach can handle and will like....as there is no real solution or cure for people with GERD. I would love any suggestions or tips that you want to send my way!! I also hope you'll come back often and enjoy living (or reading) this journey with me!
