I believe at least one of the main reasons I have gained alot of weight is my food does not digest properly. I cannot lose any weight either. I have peptic ulcers. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but my food seems to sit in my chest and I have heartburn every day, all day. Prilosec, Pepsid, Zantac and Tums do not work anymore past about an hour. I'm looking for perhaps a certain food that helps heal this. I'm really tired of going to the doctor with it, I can't find one who cares enough to really help me.

There is two things that will help you if you are willing.
1. Apple cider vinegar (about 1/4 apple cider vinegar to water)
drink it about 1/2 hour before a meal. Tastes gross but it works & it is a natural solution.
2. To help with digestion eat things like probiotic youghurt. It contains anatural bacteria that your body needs to help with digestion.

well you can tyr to eat 1 orange each nite before going to bed, it worked for me so maybe it migh help you. And forget the pills and crap for it ok. it adds more presure on your system in a whole than help you in a specific place. Good Luck and let me know if it helps ok. Give it at least 2 days to get working properly ok.
