How To Have a Great (insert your favorite euphemism or vulgarism here) Every Morning and Rid Yourself of CPAP Gas for the Entire Day

1. Eat as soon as arising.

2. Eat 3-ounces of Kellogg’s Bran Buds (they contain psyllium) with milk. I use almond milk, but milk which has the lactose predigested for lactose intolerant people is also good. There are plenty of lactose-free brands available such as Lactaid and Dairy Ease. If I am in a hotel I carry the lactase tablets in the packets which work well with digesting the lactose in regular milk. I also carry Bran Buds when traveling in small premeasured bottles.

Actually measure out with a 3-ounce measuring cup (I use those little disposable plastic cups) a 3-ounce volume of the Bran Buds. This is so that you get consistency from day to day.

3. I also eat an egg and a 3-ounce cup of walnuts. This is not part of the forumula for aerophagia relief so eat according to your preference. Eating will however stimulate the bowel and warm foods are the best for this.

4. Drink a hot cup of your favorite beverage. This helps to stimulate the bowel.

5. Brush and floss your teeth. I find that the sweet taste of the toothpaste helps to stimulate the bowel.

6. By the time I have eaten, drank a hot cup of decaf tea or coffee, brushed my teeth and shaved, the bowel is stimulated and the psyllium and other fiber in the Bran Buds that I ate the previous morning are very reliable and thorough with their task. I find that even the gas higher up in the stomach is gone.

7. Remember to stay well hydrated throughout the day - good advice for everyone.

It make take a few days of developing a routine before this is successful. Kelloggs says two weeks but for me it was only two days.

Is it 2014 that the sales tax goes on our equipment to help pay for health care reform? I don't mind, since I happily put my jobless college graduate back on our insurance in July - her meds were costing us $6000 a year since no insurance company wanted her at any price with her pre-existing conditions. A 3% tax wont equal that.

Not only is it going to cost more, the government will tell you what you can and can not do, and when they say no your out of luck. "3% wont equal that." Try 25% to 50% increase in healthcare cost plus it will be rationed with longer a waiting time.

Can you really support these sweeping assertions of fact? For example, what part of the act is going to allow the government to tell me what I can and can not do, "and when they say no your out of luck"? I have yet to see anyone cite a single word in the PPACA that restricts the medical services that a person can purchase. If someone says to me that they think the act will be a big fat failure, well, that's just an opinion and all I can say is, we'll see. But if someone says that it allows the government to ration care and tell us what we can or cannot have, that is an issue of fact, and it ought to be possible to say where in the act that right to ration or restrict care can be found.
