Antacid abuse? When is it too much?

Hi Lori, I have peppermint oil and have used it judiciously in the past but not in some time. I am trying to wean off the extras and tell my body to heal itself and the important thing is for me to believe it is possible. Maybe it is wishful thinking but I am trying to re-educate myself to think in terms of healing rather than pain or discomfort. I have a mantra I recite to myself, I did not make it up, but read it in a book by Guru Jarat "I am healthy, I am happy, I am holy". The "holy" part may seem sacrilegious but we are all God's children. The rhythm of it is very soothing in any event. Thanks for the info on peppermint. My dad consumed chalky Rolaids like candy when he lived and I guess he had stomach distress too. Mary Ellen

The two things in life you are in control over are your attitude and your effort. Your daily mantra and how it makes you feel is a prime example of taking charge, adapting a positive attitude, and making the changes you’d like to see. And that, my dear, is the key to survival.
Our brains are very powerful tools in our fight to be whole. So I applaud your determination to help heal your body naturally. Finding a calming rhythm to your life is very soothing and perhaps it will sooth your anxiety as well as your stomach.
You’re obviously into self help. Do you have any special books or videos you like to watch to help you cope?
About 3 years ago, my daughter bought me a book that she feels is her personal bible. It’s helped her through severe anxiety and also, helped her cope with the possibility of losing me. Now I’m never without the book.
