Try adding more purple to your diet!
Purple foods such as concord grapes, blueberries, plums, pomegranates, acai berries, red wine, and even eggplants are very high in antioxidants. Purple foods have been shown to protect your heart and vision, promote mental focus, and increase longevity. Research has indicated that purple foods may even be used to prevent or cure cancer.

Omeprazole Comments
08 Jul 2012
I have been on this drug for almost a month. I have gained weight and am swelling. My breasts are sensitive. I have had headaches. I don't feel myself and just realized this drug is what was causing it. I can't wait for it to get out of my system.

I didn't realize that my comment on 'Evaluating..." would also show up here. Anyway, I should add, since taking Calcium Lactate it has been easier to loose weight. Not only is my appetite less, my energy level is usually slightly better than before. I also need to say that likely since I drink a lot of milk my dose for Calcium Lactate is way under the recommened dose. The old form of Calcium was much closer to recommended.

Omeprzole seems to generally work fine. I sometime was getting a sensitive bowel area particualrly in the liver area and stomach area when I didn't get a 'good match' of a meal with taking it. The best match was one that included a healthy dose of Psyllim Seed hull (metamucal) with it. A month or so after I changed my calcium source to Calcium Lactate my dosage has drop 1/2. The switch to Calcium Lactate was a bit more dramatic than I would have supposed. My body apparently dumped the old calcium as fast as possible, and I had to lean on Magnesium (milk of) to get rid of it and the stiffness and mild constipation generated. Now I have more clarity in thinking, am less stressed and unsually wake up more rested.

Since I changed from the common forms of Calcium to Calcium Lactate my need for Omeprazole, my dosage has dropped 1/2. I should note that the change to Calcium Lactate was a bit more dramatic than I would have thought it would be. Apparently the body just started dumping the Carbanate form as fast as it could, as i had to lean on Magnesium (Milk of) to address the stiffness (and some constipation tendency) I had. The mouth also acquired a slight 'dirty' calcium taste at the time. My present dose of Calcium Lactate is quite low, likely due to the fact that I already drink a lot of milk. My teeth let me 'feel' when Calcium is getting low. I tend to eat everything and seem to require meat to function.
