Tums, antacids, miralax

These are all drugs that we've had in our house for various issues.

Tums for upset stomachs, antacids for acid reflux (which Eb suffered from at least twice a week), and miralax because I couldn't relieve my bowel without hurting myself. 3 months and all of thse things are no longer in use. Except Eboni occasionally needs to take an antacid because as she has gotten less strict about Paleo eating, she's gotten some aic reflux again. If this doesn't tell you anything about Paleo's benefits, I don't know what would?!

I no longer have to use miralax to soften my stool so I don't hurt myself and I no longer have to ingest tums because my stomach is hurting due to something I ate. I am confident that the foods we eat are attached to the drugs we take.

I saw a commercial for tums and the tag line was "for when your favorite foods don't agree with you" and it was a woman eating a fast food burger. Of course her stomach is hurting! She's not eating real food, she's eating fast food. I understand that fast food could be all some people afford, I get it. I also understand sometimes it's just easier but I know for a fact now, that the food we eat, is very much connected to our needing to use drugs or not.

And now that we've recommitted to our Paleo lifestyle, I'm looking forward to all the benefits Paleo has to offer us. And that's a beautiful thing!
