so what are you using for heartburn medicine now?

[grasswire]

Now that we've learned that the best heartburn meds make you 83% more likely to get pneumonia and the next best set of meds make you 56% more likely to get pneumonia.....what is there to use for heartburn, which can cause a lot of trouble on its own?

I've had some near-pneumonia in the last couple of years, and the use of rx heartburn med is probably why.

Comments, anyone?

6. Prevacid. Screw pneumonia.

I figured I had about a 0.01% chance of getting pneumonia before; now I've got a 0.0183% chance. Big whoop. Prevacid == no pain == happy eataTREE. I'll keep taking it.

9. Mint tea

I've had acid reflux since my teens, and that's the best thing for me, with zero side effects.
