. . . owing to GERD (for which I drank more milk to 'sooth' my stomach....) I popped calcium carbonate-based antacids like smarties (often a tube/packet a day) for years - 25 through 45 pretty much - before going the PPI route (on and off ever since - but not this last 18 months - I find a good slug of EV olive oil every morning makes a massive difference - in addition to a more sensible diet in general).
I'm wondering what the connection might be between the "good slug of EV olive oil" and reduction of GERD? Something to to with the gallbladder, perhaps?
Thanks for any input!
