@Sarah Cooper I have not yet connected with a garden group, I am sure it's only a matter of time. I use bicarbonate to sort reflux. A teaspoon in water, stir then drink. If bicarbonate is not your forte, lemon water daily will assist. Lemons, although acidic, convert to alkaline in the stomach, which helps for acidity balance. Do not mix lemon with bicarbonate, as they react to each other. Always take separately at least half an hour between. May you easily heal and discover the best way for you to do that. It's a journey for sure. Do you take a probiotic or fermented foods to assist the good gut bacteria?

@Sarah Cooper gosh, sounds like you have had quite the rough journey so far. May what you have learned assist others, counteracting the trauma you endured. Pretty sure that's what my poetry is for, it heals me while helping others. Remember to trust yourself, you know what is best for you.🕊🕊🕊
