Just a tip for storing all those bags of salad mix.....either open the bag or poke a hole in it near the top and then reseal with clip after squeezing the air out of them. Hopefully this will give you a little more storage room.
Allison I agree with you dropping your pee where you did. My friend opens a trap door under her van and the pee comes out as she is driving down the highway. She refills it with biodegradible soapy water rinses it out and is good to go.. Those that dont agree can kiss our grits. Be Blessed Allison
Ya know, sometimes I, as well as others, NEED TO ovrnite in a WM parking lot, on the outskirts. I've had to leave & risk the "knock" by parking in nearby neighborhood because of the pungent STENCH of people dumping piss! I'm just being honest. PLEASE, do that at a gas station! Ur a beautiful, well spoken, INTELLIGENT young LADY! 🙏✌️🤗😎
FYI, urine is very good for the soil, it adds nitrogen, in fact many people add it to their compost bins. Thank you for doing your part for the environment.
I used to have a house with only one bathroom and it was downstairs (bedrooms were upstairs). I used a chamber pot so I wouldn’t have to walk downstairs when groggy. I would take it downstairs and dump it, but sometimes I was lazy and dumped it out the bedroom window. One day I was outside and saw that the grass underneath the bedroom window was so lush and green compared to the surrounding grass!
Get rid of bread and yogurt it's heated so no vitamins or prebiotic. Dont drink coffee after 2pm buy low acid coffee only. No sugar only stevia. 🍀Barnes and Noble books are your best friend..🍀
Just an FYI regarding a potential cause to your GERD Excessive Fibers - Can Cause Indigestion As we know that chia seeds are filled with dietary fiber, the heavy intake of chia seeds will cause high fiber intake.
I’ve hd herd for years. At night a few helpful hints are, 1. Don’t lie down for 2 hours after you eat. 2. Sleep propped up with pillows 3. An herb called slippery elm bark helps tremendously. 3 a tea called throat coat to start the day helps a ton. 4. Be careful with coffee, I love coffee so much but sometimes I have to stop for a while and I’ve learned to never drink it on an empty stomach , this as been a game changer. 5. Try to walk I. The morning and evening. There are a lot of RUclips videos with very good info. Hope this helps~ gerd suck! And it will get worse if you don’t take it seriously. Safe travels
That sunset was beautiful Allison! I could live in Florida. Been there on vacation a couple of times. Watching you from Indiana and a couple inches of snow outside. Take care!
I was born and raised in Columbus Ohio,, but have loved living in Daytona for nearly 7 yrs now with zero plans of ever seeing snow or freezing weather ever again🥰😀. I love love love it here!! 🌞🌞 I live 2 blocks walking distance from the ocean/surf of the worlds most popular beach and I absolutely love it🌞🌊
I wish you well on your journey. You may want to know that it's best to grind your chia or flax seeds before eating them. Otherwise they don't break down in your digestive system, and literally come out the same way they went in. None of the wonderful omega's will be absorbed if they are not released from the seed. These seeds are tiny enough to get caught in the many twists and turns of our colon, and could cause health problems over time; like diverticulitis! Just some peaceful loving advice from a Clinical Nutritionist, not meant to be critical here. Best to buy the seeds whole, then grind just the amount you're going to consume before you eat them. Store them in fridge to maintain the viability of the omega oils.
Seeing you on the beach makes me homesick. I lived in Fort Myers for 40 years and Daytona Beach for one. I worked at Publix and yes they are much more expensive. I can't afford to go there anymore. They do have the best subs !
Hey Allison!!! Idon't know if anyone mentioned this but in case they didn't, the reflux needs to be evaluated. There's a condition known as silent reflux where you're asymptomatic. The problem with this is that persistent irritation can lead to a condition called Barrett's esophagus. Really ups the chance of developing esophageal cancer. I'm an RN and take care of reflux ( or GERD) patients pretty often. Just the next time you see your primary care provider please mention the reflux. In the mean time a 30 degree foam wedge under the mattress can reduce it at night. Peace be on your house ( or van) In His name
The sunset view was beautiful! You & I agree on the #1! Allison, When I try to lay down and relax at night, I feel that pain sometimes. I was told his was stressed muscles trying to relax all at once. I am trying to walk just a bit and do some very mild stretches before laying down. It has helped.
My kefir looks similar but it unflavored and 110 cal. I do make a big blended meal smoothie using 1 cup, frozen fruit and or banana or apple. Some spinach, chia seeds, flaxseed. I will add a drop of vanilla if I want to cut the tangyness a bit.
Love Tallahassee and Jax/Duval raised, love your channel since you got your van and built out. If I saw you at my publix by the beach would have talked you about your travels. I lay elevated because of my reflex had two surgeries, and it's painful trying my best. I have Gerd also, good luck, I love the videos 😊
Great video hope you got that oil changed 😀😀 I'm really interested to see you look for a place to live in Jacksonville I never been there looking forward to the next episode Thanks for sharing
The pain you described could be your gallbladder; I had same symptoms for weeks leading up to a massive gallbladder attack (never had GERD in my life). A change in diet kept me from needing surgery. 😊
I had my Gallbladder removed last year. I developed Bile Acid Malabsorption. I'll have it for the rest of my life. If only I knew that it was a possibility, I wouldn't have had it removed. And only changed my diet. That's great that you didn't have yours removed. ☺🙏
If I was living in a van I would compost my waste in a 5 gallon bucket. This way you are able to throw in cardboard, food scraps, etc and use pine pellets to absorb the liquid and leave a lovely pine scent. Throw a beautiful towel over it and spray it with peppermint essential oil or any scent that is pleasing and uplifting. Van will smell great and all waste goes in one place, easy peasy.
Thanks for the breakfast info Allison. I have 20 lbs to lose. Your discovery of handles is great. Pigtails suit you, but Jaguars lost.Sorry. Great food choices. Stay Beautiful, entertaining, and adventurous. Ocean Beach looks great.
I have here also & found that anything with coloring added is one of the things that starts it up. Also some fruits, acidy fruits. I keep peppermint handy because it helps me.
It's so funny. You're on the opposite journey I am. I came down to FL from VT, and now in TX heading West. I stayed in Jacksonville for a couple of days. I also stayed in Shreveport. I have a designated shopping bag for my pee jug, and take it into gas station restrooms, park restrooms, rest stop restrooms. I would never bring it in a retail establishment. I would, however, be mortified if someone saw me dumping it in public. We all have different protocol that we're comfortable with. Safe travels!
Concerning the GERD issue, my experience, you are lacking hylaraunic acid (sp) in your stomach. There is a product called Digest Gold that works wonders, I also take activated charcoal which helps get the food to move from the stomach a little faster. No dairy for me so I found these two items to be life changing. 🙂
I live in Jax Bch my whole life...maybe a meet and play on the beach?!?!?be safe girlie...btw im a 51 yr old woman with 2 grown kids and 1 is a 6 yr Marine.💙💙💙
“Drinking apple cider vinegar at least 30 minutes before bed may lower your risk of indigestion or acid reflux after laying down. Enjoy it in other ways. Apple cider vinegar can be used on a salad or in a marinade for meat or vegetables, which may be a more pleasant way to consume it than drinking it.” So with or without food, it should be okay.
Allison, I used to have the same problem with acid reflux. I thought that I was having a heart attack. I started taking a prescription for Reglan and it got better. Plus urine in the bushes is not a bad thing. Probably makes them grow better.
My GERD went completely away by going low carb and increasing my protein and fat. Instead of getting rid of the bacon in your salad, maybe lose whatever might be sweet in there. I stopped sugar and all the starchy carbs. It has changed my life. The best part was the mental health boost, brain fog gone, motivation is back , energy is crazy and so many chronic health issues resolved. For me it's been a miracle worker. And zero medications! I'm in my 50's btw.
If your battery can handle it, you can look into getting a heated mattress pad to go under your sheet in the colder months. This way you'll be cozy and not hurting your back.
Love your vids and bravery! Only one suggestion: as if you don't know already where to dump your urine: just make sure it is at least 3 meters (yards) away from a watercourse, whether that is a ditch, Lake or stream. Nature has a wonderful way of getting rid of our toxic pee germies when exposed to sun, but if the rain leeches it to a drain, it can spread around and who know a small animal could drink it and get sick. Just saying!
I get you on the urine. But fyi...running your vehicle so low on oil that the light comes on is taking thousands of miles of life off your vehicle. Ask any mechanic - oil=life for your van.
Don’t feel bad. I didn’t notice any of those things on my little collapsible pot. So good to know, thanks. FYI: Your editing left blank black screen between many of the cuts 🤔
Porta pottie. I use leak proof trash bags with 4 paper towels in bottom. When done tie bag put in kroger bag an dump out side. Reliad pottie and put it up. When u get up in am for coffee put bag in trash can
Girl your hair maybe had been the star of the show because it was in a bun in the beginning but your hair looks great afterwards too! I just got done with my two-week excursion and it ended in disaster my car ended up breaking down after I got off the freeway and pulled into a gas station, thank God because earlier I had been on a road that was out in the middle of nowhere instead of going through Los Angeles and that would have been really scary if it had broken down over there. And luckily I was within a 200-mile radius of my home, just barely, so I was able to get towed home but I'm pretty sure my car is totaled it's probably the transmission or a belt broke I'm not really sure but now I can't work cuz I do delivery for a living so I'm really wondering what I'm going to do now.
I feel this with almost everything LOL. I’m not a terrible cook, but whenever I make food, it is unappealing to me and tastes just meh. If someone else makes the exact same thing, I love it.
Make sure your friends tell you what area of town to look at, as far as finding a place to live. The cheaper areas are the worst of course. Buttermilk is a cheaper alternative to kefir. My holistic doctor says to always take an enzyme/probiotic combo before meals to help with stomach issues. I found one on Amazon.
Regarding GERD! I found out that tomato-based foods causes me to have severe reflux. It cuts out many of my favorite foods, but the pain was real 😳. Love your channel 😊
I had that same pain that's signs of gall stones and it went into my chest I had to have my gallbladder removed years ago so please be aware it was up right pain in my back and went into my chest
U may need one of those back things ,, from truck stop ,, black wire mesh type,, or a soft back thing that's for driving long distance,, that u place behind ur back in driver seat 🪑🪑🙏🏽🙏🏽
I used long years ago to have acid reflux, at the time someone from my family that loves to read and to use natural medicine suggested me to try lemon and ginger tea with honey, it did worked for me and for more than a decade a didn't have any problem with acid reflux, and I am a coffee lover too. I think you could put this one in your list to try it, it is health and a delicious tea, I hope it works for you as did for me. 😊
Most Kefir has a lot of sugars, also dairy turns to sugars in the body. A great alternative for building up natural good flora/probiotics in the body is KIMCHI. This has been used for thousands of years and it’s much healthier and effective. Yeah, it doesn’t taste as “fun” to most of us but it’s much better for our bodies. We can even make it ourselves if desired. I love your videos and seeing your grocery hauls!! I too don’t do Starbucks for many reasons. Dunkin Donuts many years ago used to have tasty coffee but nit so much anymore, and it’s all SO overpriced!!! Edit: also Kimchi is very low calorie. You can find it usually cheaper in Asian type markets too.
@@michelle7352 that’s awesome!!! I found that the more sugar i got out of my diet, the more my natural tastebuds changed. So what used to taste “ick” to me, took on a whole other taste and became bearable, even enjoyable. Sugar truly is our enemy. Causes inflammation and turns to fat in the body. Kimchi as a topper is excellent like you said! Even buying those expensive extra fermented pickles (Bubbies brand) are soooo yummy and full of healthy pre/probiotics for gut Health too!
Store bought kefir has a lot of sugar, yes, but when you make it at home, there is virtually no sugar. The kefir grains eat all the sugar out of the milk as it is fermenting, and it is very healthy for you. But yeah, too bad the store bought stuff isn't so good... WAY too much sugar, so if people don't know the difference they think all kefir is sugary, which is so far from the truth.
I put flax and chia seeds in my yogurt! It’s part of a low carb “granola,” I made, which also has coconut, almonds, a tiny bit of dried fruit, pecans, and I think that’s all! I would love to know how you make your coffee. You showed us how you boiled the water but then what? Pour over? French press?
I’ve only lived in Florida for 1.5 yrs and have learned to shop around. Publix is fabulous for their bakery and even their fruit and produce is pretty decent and not too crazy priced. I shop mostly at Aldi and Sam’s and for just the few items that cannot be found at either, I’ll do publix. Luckily in my area they are practically right across the street from each other so it’s kinda like one stop shopping. I only drink a small amount of kefir a day, maybe 1/2 cup or so. I’m not sure how much it helps but I actually do like it.
I don’t know if Florida had the salad restaurant chain named Salad and Go, but I recently discovered they have a 24 Oz. Ice coffee for $1.24 they have a pretty decent but limited add ins like 1/2 and 1/2, almond milk, simple syrup, etc. It’s very good and refreshing. Their salads and wraps are good too, the salad container is huge, so you can put your dressing on, the. Recover it and shake it to distribute the dressing. The ultimate tossed salad, AND The salads are like $5.00! I remember when you lived in your car and would park close to a storm drain so you could dispose of your urine right into the sewer. I genuinely hope there’s no one out here that opposes how you do things, those plants get watered almost every night, so the sprinklers will was away and dilute your offerings! Hope you get a grasp on that GERD, I too take the generic equivalent of protonix, and at one time took it twice a day. The problem with proton pump inhibitors is that they’ve been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, so taking it short term is fine, while your body heals and gets back in balance, your body has been thru A LOT over the past few months, heck, your body hasn’t even cleared out the anesthesia from your surgery. The GERD could be what caused your pneumonia though, so I’m really glad your trying to fix it with diet, exercise, and medication. BTW it looks like someone played a real live version of Fruit Ninja out there at the beach!!! 😂
If you research it you'll find that gerd is actually a low acid problem and so taking antacids is the worst thing to do. Take a spoonful of baking soda in water instead. That diet that she is on is absolutely horrific and if she doesn't change it then she will most likely lose her gall bladder and worse.
Please listen to those saying gallbladder. It’s often misdiagnosed until it’s too late to reverse especially in women. Find a Dr who will check your gall bladder function not just imaging. I was sent home from the hospital 6 times with no diagnosis from the same thing you describe. (And told GERD). By the time I was properly diagnosed my gallbladder was zero percent functional, I was put on IV antibiotics for 2 days and nothing by mouth before they could even do the surgery to remove it. Nothing is the same after you lose your gallbladder no matter what they tell you. Save your gallbladder while you can. If you can.
Don't settle in Fla. Consider widening your search near Dallas metroplex, there are some great suburbs and also towns that wd keep you closer to your son... that are safe, scenic, and affordable. I have lived an hour east of Big D since the 80's and could not be more satisfied with the area. :-)
Get you a 12 volt electric blanket heat really helps pain. Plus you are supposed to be sorta propped up due to the Gerd. I’ve had several surgeries to open up my throat. Esophagus. No fun
GERD: you have carbonic acid, which means your food isn't digesting, it's fermenting. You need _more_ stomach acid (hydrochloric acid.) You can get this by taking oregano oil capsules or ingesting any "digestive" herbs and spices like ginger, cardamom, dill, etc. I got a handle on mine by drinking Bigelow's vanilla chai after meals. Oh-- and try to avoid especially sugar, but also pretty much processed foods entirely. But especially sugar. The ketchup is probably ok. Sending healing prayers your way. 🙏💚 Sbx has a nice chai latte.
I had a big problem with acid reflux and it also creates so many bubbles that I can’t breathe end up in the emergency ward and they think I’m having a heart attack. That’s how intense it got. It’s a simple cure put baking soda in water drink it that gets rid of that neutralize it just like a car battery or you can drink lemon water It’s that simple it was for me. Anyway good luck with that.
I live in northwest Florida and there are multiple places to live in Florida rather than Jacksonville. Ocala area is the prettiest area in Florida if beach access is not critical. Orlando area is best for things to do. Miami to Palm Beach is best for beaches and things to do with a big city vibe. When you want to settle down eventually take a month or two to explore Florida. Florida has no state income tax. The climate is hot particularly in summer but there is zero snow and ice storms etc. Winter and the shoulder seasons are great temperature wise, typically mild and comfortable. 😅
The tires are most likely just deflated as the car has been sitting there forever. It happens. Found online "You may find that your tyres lose pressure or start to slightly deflate over time while the car is immobile. This is because rubber is porous, and while it's not enough to cause an issue normally, air molecules can make their way through the rubber slowly over a period of time."
I get that too with my GERD. The pain in your chest, the pain in my Upper back and my shoulder. I actually thought i was having a heart attack but went and had it all ruled out. They put me on Omeprazol for it. I do try to watch my diet too, but have learned to make sure i take the Omeprazole before i take Aleve for my body pain, or spicy food and even coffee can be a trigger. Try to stick to organic. Trader Joe’s has a great one if you are traveling around, then you can stop in there.
Must try munk fruit sweetener, I mostly enjoy the “now” brand organic extract powder. You use very little and it’s perfect with coffee or tea. A little pricey on Amazon but i think it’s worth it. Also may not apply to you but your GERD and back pain sounds like gallbladder symptoms. Even if you’ve had yours out you can still experience spasms in biliary ducts. Only thing that helped me was limiting processed foods, baked goods, higher fat foods

Nice! Lol...I have a full fridge & this is a great tip!
Stick a paper towel in the bag to help keep it fresh. AND I live in Jacksonville. Reach out if wanna meet up.
Rots faster once the vacuum seal is broken.
Allison I agree with you dropping your pee where you did. My friend opens a trap door under her van and the pee comes out as she is driving down the highway. She refills it with biodegradible soapy water rinses it out and is good to go..

I love that you start your day with Bible reading, with a pad and pen to write down any revelations and/or thoughts. Makes your whole day go better!👍
I 100% respect you for your honesty & straight forward way of talking. ☺🙋♀️🙏
Chiropractic care is great! Our whole life is in our spine. Being properly aligned, your Gerd may diminish as well. 🥰
Ya know, sometimes I, as well as others, NEED TO ovrnite in a WM parking lot, on the outskirts.

It's all good I enjoy your videos keep up the great work be safe my friend
I thought you’d put them in as a dramatic pause!

@adonna price stevia isn't good either. Doc told me the body doesn't know the difference...it's just all sugars.
Cat holes are only supposed to be far from water, so as long as that is still followed, I don’t see the difference.
Glad to know I’m not the only one. I’m a gardener and urine/ nitrogen is an excellent fertilizer.
Just an FYI regarding a potential cause to your GERD
Excessive Fibers - Can Cause Indigestion
As we know that chia seeds are filled with dietary fiber, the heavy intake of chia seeds will cause high fiber intake.
I agree, use only 15grams/ 2 tbsp a day
I am so sorry you are experiencing discomfort & pain. I enjoy your videos so much!
It’s always great keeping up with you! I saw your video appear and you carry yourself well. I like your go live life and don’t hesitate mentality.
I culture my own Kiefer. Very easy, simple. When my gut was happy, my waist was happy too, not bloated anymore. 🙋♀️ 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much!!
I've suffered from gerd most of my adulthood. I park my van so my head is much higher than my feet, has helped immensely
Seeing you on the beach makes me homesick. I lived in Fort Myers for 40 years and Daytona Beach for one. I worked at Publix and yes they are much more expensive. I can't afford to go there anymore. They do have the best subs !
I have a collapsible kettle like yours, I knew about the handle but I didn’t know about the button on the bottom, thank you for the information.
Glad I could help!

reflux is cured by apple cider vinager- its low acid-- not too much aacid---- look up dr. ken berry and go carnivore cure all your health issues
Lol, your expressions are priceless! The handle situation is something I would do.

I was thinking the same. Mine had to be removed. No pills relieved the pain and back then I was a big baby when it came to pain.
I was about to type it and wondered if anyone else mentioned it.
@@DiamondButterfly921 I had my removed also ,i find gas x really helps especially if it eat something to greasy or oily
I pray all your people in Texas did well with the tornadoes...I pray for your safty for these who travel with you or stay at your home base.
👍👍👍❤❤❤
Definitely a topic that most who travel in a van don't think about when getting started! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
If I was living in a van I would compost my waste in a 5 gallon bucket.

I love Jax, Fl. 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar mixed in water helps with GERD.
Is that taken on an empty stomach or with food? Thanks Gina.
“Drinking apple cider vinegar at least 30 minutes before bed may lower your risk of indigestion or acid reflux after laying down. Enjoy it in other ways.

I stopped sugar and all the starchy carbs. It has changed my life. The best part was the mental health boost, brain fog gone, motivation is back , energy is crazy and so many chronic health issues resolved. For me it's been a miracle worker. And zero medications! I'm in my 50's btw.
If your battery can handle it, you can look into getting a heated mattress pad to go under your sheet in the colder months. This way you'll be cozy and not hurting your back.
Love your vids and bravery! Only one suggestion: as if you don't know already where to dump your urine: just make sure it is at least 3 meters (yards) away from a watercourse, whether that is a ditch, Lake or stream. Nature has a wonderful way of getting rid of our toxic pee germies when exposed to sun, but if the rain leeches it to a drain, it can spread around and who know a small animal could drink it and get sick. Just saying!
There’s a product that gels and biodegrades the urine, too. I saw it on a nomad’s video
bleach @@KK38789
Fantastic sunset!!!
Yes it was!
I live in Florida by Pensacola, that sunset we get often in the wintertime or when the Sahara dust from Africa blows our way in the summer.
I get you on the urine. But fyi...running your vehicle so low on oil that the light comes on is taking thousands of miles of life off your vehicle. Ask any mechanic - oil=life for your van.
Nice vid. I got same pot. Did not know i could detach handle like that. Thx
Don’t feel bad. I didn’t notice any of those things on my little collapsible pot. So good to know, thanks. FYI: Your editing left blank black screen between many of the cuts 🤔
Porta pottie. I use leak proof trash bags with 4 paper towels in bottom. When done tie bag put in kroger bag an dump out side. Reliad pottie and put it up. When u get up in am for coffee put bag in trash can
I’ve enjoyed your videos lately … I hate when it’s over 😊
Aw thank you 🙏🏼
Girl your hair maybe had been the star of the show because it was in a bun in the beginning but your hair looks great afterwards too! I just got done with my two-week excursion and it ended in disaster my car ended up breaking down after I got off the freeway and pulled into a gas station, thank God because earlier I had been on a road that was out in the middle of nowhere instead of going through Los Angeles and that would have been really scary if it had broken down over there. And luckily I was within a 200-mile radius of my home, just barely, so I was able to get towed home but I'm pretty sure my car is totaled it's probably the transmission or a belt broke I'm not really sure but now I can't work cuz I do delivery for a living so I'm really wondering what I'm going to do now.
I’ve emptied urine in similar places too! Feel same thing! Other than that I take it to restrooms in local parks.
So you know what’s up!!
Two things always better when someone else makes it….coffee and a sandwich
100%! That sandwich love is real 😆
Omg I feel the same exact way, just visted a friend , made me a sandwich and it was amazing. Lol
I feel this with almost everything LOL. I’m not a terrible cook, but whenever I make food, it is unappealing to me and tastes just meh. If someone else makes the exact same thing, I love it.
So true!
Any grub whatsoever, ms d. I have of phobia of kitchens !
I guess the yt algorithm suggested your channel since I live in Jax. I'm glad they did! New sub.
My tree fell down in my yard. The good part is that i can sit in my chair and see gorgeous sunsets. 🌇
Make sure your friends tell you what area of town to look at, as far as finding a place to live. The cheaper areas are the worst of course.
Buttermilk is a cheaper alternative to kefir.
My holistic doctor says to always take an enzyme/probiotic combo before meals to help with stomach issues. I found one on Amazon.
We don’t have plastic bags available here at all. Target gives out nice paper ones or fiber ones. I reuse those.
Wow that’s cool!
Girl, honesty really is the best policy! The problem is that a lot of folks now get their feelings hurt too easily! Bunch of cry babies IMHO!!
Gorgeous sunset
Regarding GERD! I found out that tomato-based foods causes me to have severe reflux. It cuts out many of my favorite foods, but the pain was real 😳. Love your channel 😊
Gorgeous beach in Florida . Went there for a visit fell in love.
Fresh ginger root tea, kim-chi, sauerkraut 🤗
I had that same pain that's signs of gall stones and it went into my chest I had to have my gallbladder removed years ago so please be aware it was up right pain in my back and went into my chest
U may need one of those back things ,, from truck stop ,, black wire mesh type,, or a soft back thing that's for driving long distance,, that u place behind ur back in driver seat 🪑🪑🙏🏽🙏🏽
Ahhhhh a Jags sweatshirt!!!Wooooo
Plain Kieffer (and yogurt too) can be enhanced with water enhancers like MIO. Less sugar
I used long years ago to have acid reflux, at the time someone from my family that loves to read and to use natural medicine suggested me to try lemon and ginger tea with honey, it did worked for me and for more than a decade a didn't have any problem with acid reflux, and I am a coffee lover too. I think you could put this one in your list to try it, it is health and a delicious tea, I hope it works for you as did for me. 😊
Most Kefir has a lot of sugars, also dairy turns to sugars in the body. A great alternative for building up natural good flora/probiotics in the body is KIMCHI. This has been used for thousands of years and it’s much healthier and effective. Yeah, it doesn’t taste as “fun” to most of us but it’s much better for our bodies. We can even make it ourselves if desired. I love your videos and seeing your grocery hauls!! I too don’t do Starbucks for many reasons. Dunkin Donuts many years ago used to have tasty coffee but nit so much anymore, and it’s all SO overpriced!!! Edit: also Kimchi is very low calorie. You can find it usually cheaper in Asian type markets too.
Kimchi is a great topper for many foods. I use it like salsa or ketchup.
@@michelle7352 that’s awesome!!! I found that the more sugar i got out of my diet, the more my natural tastebuds changed. So what used to taste “ick” to me, took on a whole other taste and became bearable, even enjoyable. Sugar truly is our enemy. Causes inflammation and turns to fat in the body. Kimchi as a topper is excellent like you said! Even buying those expensive extra fermented pickles (Bubbies brand) are soooo yummy and full of healthy pre/probiotics for gut Health too!
Surprisingly I I’ve Kimchi.
I love Kimchi! I second that!
Store bought kefir has a lot of sugar, yes, but when you make it at home, there is virtually no sugar. The kefir grains eat all the sugar out of the milk as it is fermenting, and it is very healthy for you. But yeah, too bad the store bought stuff isn't so good... WAY too much sugar, so if people don't know the difference they think all kefir is sugary, which is so far from the truth.
I put flax and chia seeds in my yogurt! It’s part of a low carb “granola,” I made, which also has coconut, almonds, a tiny bit of dried fruit, pecans, and I think that’s all!
I would love to know how you make your coffee. You showed us how you boiled the water but then what? Pour over? French press?
I’ve only lived in Florida for 1.5 yrs and have learned to shop around. Publix is fabulous for their bakery and even their fruit and produce is pretty decent and not too crazy priced. I shop mostly at Aldi and Sam’s and for just the few items that cannot be found at either, I’ll do publix. Luckily in my area they are practically right across the street from each other so it’s kinda like one stop shopping.
I only drink a small amount of kefir a day, maybe 1/2 cup or so. I’m not sure how much it helps but I actually do like it.
I don’t know if Florida had the salad restaurant chain named Salad and Go, but I recently discovered they have a 24 Oz. Ice coffee for $1.24 they have a pretty decent but limited add ins like 1/2 and 1/2, almond milk, simple syrup, etc. It’s very good and refreshing. Their salads and wraps are good too, the salad container is huge, so you can put your dressing on, the. Recover it and shake it to distribute the dressing. The ultimate tossed salad, AND The salads are like $5.00!
I remember when you lived in your car and would park close to a storm drain so you could dispose of your urine right into the sewer. I genuinely hope there’s no one out here that opposes how you do things, those plants get watered almost every night, so the sprinklers will was away and dilute your offerings!
Hope you get a grasp on that GERD, I too take the generic equivalent of protonix, and at one time took it twice a day. The problem with proton pump inhibitors is that they’ve been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, so taking it short term is fine, while your body heals and gets back in balance, your body has been thru A LOT over the past few months, heck, your body hasn’t even cleared out the anesthesia from your surgery. The GERD could be what caused your pneumonia though, so I’m really glad your trying to fix it with diet, exercise, and medication. BTW it looks like someone played a real live version of Fruit Ninja out there at the beach!!! 😂
If you research it you'll find that gerd is actually a low acid problem and so taking antacids is the worst thing to do. Take a spoonful of baking soda in water instead. That diet that she is on is absolutely horrific and if she doesn't change it then she will most likely lose her gall bladder and worse.
Please listen to those saying gallbladder. It’s often misdiagnosed until it’s too late to reverse especially in women. Find a Dr who will check your gall bladder function not just imaging. I was sent home from the hospital 6 times with no diagnosis from the same thing you describe. (And told GERD). By the time I was properly diagnosed my gallbladder was zero percent functional, I was put on IV antibiotics for 2 days and nothing by mouth before they could even do the surgery to remove it. Nothing is the same after you lose your gallbladder no matter what they tell you. Save your gallbladder while you can. If you can.
I have Gerd as well and its so bad it gives me chest pain at times.I use Dannon yogurt drinks for the GUT and that really helps if u want to try that.
Publix is always high, and especially at the beach! But you can usually find whatever you want. Go to Aldi's instead.
Last time I was on Jacksonville Beach was about 1973 or 74. Jacksonville was my birthplace
Don't settle in Fla. Consider widening your search near Dallas metroplex, there are some great suburbs and also towns that wd keep you closer to your son... that are safe, scenic, and affordable. I have lived an hour east of Big D since the 80's and could not be more satisfied with the area. :-)
You can buy plain keifer and the calories are much lower. The flavored kinds are high in sugar.
Ok great to know! Thank you for the info.
Get you a 12 volt electric blanket heat really helps pain. Plus you are supposed to be sorta propped up due to the Gerd. I’ve had several surgeries to open up my throat. Esophagus. No fun
GERD: you have carbonic acid, which means your food isn't digesting, it's fermenting. You need _more_ stomach acid (hydrochloric acid.) You can get this by taking oregano oil capsules or ingesting any "digestive" herbs and spices like ginger, cardamom, dill, etc. I got a handle on mine by drinking Bigelow's vanilla chai after meals.
Oh-- and try to avoid especially sugar, but also pretty much processed foods entirely. But especially sugar.
The ketchup is probably ok.
Sending healing prayers your way. 🙏💚
Sbx has a nice chai latte.
I had a big problem with acid reflux and it also creates so many bubbles that I can’t breathe end up in the emergency ward and they think I’m having a heart attack. That’s how intense it got. It’s a simple cure put baking soda in water drink it that gets rid of that neutralize it just like a car battery or you can drink lemon water It’s that simple it was for me. Anyway good luck with that.
I live in northwest Florida and there are multiple places to live in Florida rather than Jacksonville. Ocala area is the prettiest area in Florida if beach access is not critical. Orlando area is best for things to do. Miami to Palm Beach is best for beaches and things to do with a big city vibe. When you want to settle down eventually take a month or two to explore Florida. Florida has no state income tax. The climate is hot particularly in summer but there is zero snow and ice storms etc. Winter and the shoulder seasons are great temperature wise, typically mild and comfortable. 😅
I would live in Jacksonville any day over Orlando,West Palm or Miami.
I have tge same kettle and it is 12v takes like 10-15mins to heat the water so I do it on my drive to work
The tires are most likely just deflated as the car has been sitting there forever. It happens. Found online "You may find that your tyres lose pressure or start to slightly deflate over time while the car is immobile. This is because rubber is porous, and while it's not enough to cause an issue normally, air molecules can make their way through the rubber slowly over a period of time."
Those 4 flats look like someone have got caught cheating 🤔😬 just a thought
@@anitacash5919 That's exactly what I thought.
@@NYCHFAN Nah there would be an angry message in lipstick on the windows...
Life Extension Digestive Enzymes helps alot also. Take one capsule right after eating.
There are cheap low calorie probiotic options in dairy case that are cheap like Activia etc
I get that too with my GERD. The pain in your chest, the pain in my Upper back and my shoulder. I actually thought i was having a heart attack but went and had it all ruled out. They put me on Omeprazol for it. I do try to watch my diet too, but have learned to make sure i take the Omeprazole before i take Aleve for my body pain, or spicy food and even coffee can be a trigger. Try to stick to organic. Trader Joe’s has a great one if you are traveling around, then you can stop in there.
While you’re in that area, cruise over to Fernandina Beach. It’s a cool island just off the coast and might be a nice community for you!
W-D 40 for glue or sticky situations❣️☮️
I think I’ve got a great job idea for you 😊! How about stand up comedy? You crack me up ! God bless you!!!
Haha! Thanks for the vote of confidence! 😁
Must try munk fruit sweetener, I mostly enjoy the “now” brand organic extract powder. You use very little and it’s perfect with coffee or tea. A little pricey on Amazon but i think it’s worth it. Also may not apply to you but your GERD and back pain sounds like gallbladder symptoms. Even if you’ve had yours out you can still experience spasms in biliary ducts. Only thing that helped me was limiting processed foods, baked goods, higher fat foods
