lemon juice and a teaspoon of baking soda first thing in the morning

[bobbyrita]

this is the second day I have tried it. Last night for the first time in ages I didn't have a stomach ache or gas. there was also no nausea. I hope it wasn't a fluke.

i have been having stomach aches,gas and sometimes nausea for a half a year after my best friend died. i also suffer from chronic constipation. last night or during the day i didn't have any of those. the day before i dared to have pizza and was waiting to have the pain. i didn't.

today a few minutes after i drank it i really went. it is supposedly also helps for indigestion.

hardly any laxatives work. i don't want to get my hopes up but i am hoping it will keep on working.i was getting stomach aches and gas every night and sometimes during the day.

I'm curious, a bit more information please. So do you put the lemon juice and baking soda in a glass of water together? If so, how much water, hot or cold. How much lemon juice (does it need to be fresh lemon juice or can it be bottled or Jif), how much baking soda, a level teaspoon or rounded or heaped. Many thanks. Maureen.

Okay, seen your link above, you must have been sending it while I was writing my reply to you. Just one question left then, by the looks of it. Hot or cold water?! Cheers!

[bobbyrita in reply to Maureen1958]

i don't know. i use lukewarm water.

[Maureen1958 in reply to bobbyrita]

Thanks.

i hope it is not a fluke.my quality of life has been so bad. before i just had chronic constipation with no gas,stomach aches or nausea. i take a lot of medications that cause constipation.

[Maureen1958 in reply to bobbyrita]

I hope it continues to work for you. Medications are a nuisance, they always seem to give you some sort of reaction.

[bobbyrita in reply to Maureen1958]

you are so right. i am bipolar ii,i have diabetes,high cholesterol,pernicious anemia and high blood pressure. i have to take the medications. rats

[Maureen1958 in reply to bobbyrita]

Oh that sounds like a lot of tablets. Luckily, I only take beta blockers for high blood pressure!

[bobbyrita in reply to Maureen1958]

good for you!
