Comment on What about Water? by Lorduseme

I never realized it until I moved here, but when we lived in Florida (well water), I had tummy trouble as well. I was actually diagnosed with IBS, but I truly believe that it was the water. When we moved here to NW Georgia, I couldn’t fathom the idea of drinking chlorinated municipal water, so we purchased a MultiPure under the counter system with a coconut carbon filter. I love it! It has its own dispenser faucet on our kitchen sink, but is stashed away to avoid counter clutter. I think I paid $350 for the entire set up three years ago, and the yearly filter replacements are around $55. And guess what? No more tummy trouble!

Sage honey from Breadbeckers has a very mild taste, and is also lower on the glycemic index.

We are blessed with good well water. Recently tested, it is a good source of water.
We recently bought an Enagic water machine; it makes alkaline water. Testing our well water, it is neither alkaline nor acidic.
I do know one thing: drinking the well water never helped my severe acid reflux. Since starting on the Enagic Kangan water, I have stopped taking Prilosec, which is not good for anyone, other than keeping my acid reflux out of my life! But May 1, 2009, I began on the Kangan water, and dropped the prilosec because the Enagic advertisement said it would help. Help it did.
I am not totally free of acid reflux, but without this water and without prilosec, I would be waking 3-4 times a night with stomach acid in my throat and mouth — every night! I can count on my 2 hands how many times I have been awaken by the reflux since May 1, 2009!
And you should be drinking the right amount of water. For me, 13 8-oz cups is what I should have. Do you know what your need is?
Water — there is no better liquid for your body!

I appreciate your input. Being diabetic and having problems keeping our levels level, my husband and I keep looking for alternatives. We do use Hard Red Wheat Flour, which my daughter grinds for us. But finding a sugar substitute has been a challenge due to the aftertaste and wondering how good it is for us. You’ve given me some information to go on. Thanks!
