Thanks, genetic, for your very detailed response. I appreciate you taking the time to write all that, I really do. I will try the lemon thing and look into getting some fish oil pills. I also read the caffeine allergy thing and I've known for a while that I have a sensitivity to it. I normally have one cup in the morning and sometimes one more cup later in the day and will be fine with it. Anything more than two cups in one sitting and I will get the caffeine jitters. So to be clear, one of your suggestions is to get more alkaline foods to balance the acid from the meds? I don't think I can refrain from dairy though!! LOL Thank you again.
