Thanks for your response. I'm hanging in there. I have a lawyer who thinks we have a good enough case that the insurance company is likely to reverse its decision so we won't have to sue them. Hope so. I've got cooperative doctors and that helps. In the meantime, I've learned more about the condition and how to manage it.
I recently got an aloe drink esp for when I get stomach acid burn, but I haven't used it as a regular thing. Your questions will make me try that.
Thanks again.
