Comments (40)Bon, I haven't had anything to add to this thread since I have no experience with GERD, but just wanted to say that I hope you are successful in getting the right medical diagnosis and then are successful in doing all the right things to correct the issue as well as you can in the most natural manner possible. My older brother suffered from ulcerative colitis for years without ever getting the right diagnosis until he was in either the later high school years or the early college years. (Granted, we didn't have the internet back then, so it was really hard to dig and research and find answers on your own way back then in the Dark Ages.) It is amazing how well most digestive issues can be managed nowadays with diet, some sophisticated medicines, etc. I am confident y'all will have success overcoming this health issue. Re: Pickles. Cucumbers are just that way. Tiny one day, gigantic Godzillas the next. I have to pick twice daily to catch them all while they are at the appropriate size for pickling, even though I normally do not make pickles daily. Well, I pickled cucumbers yesterday and I pickled peppers today, but I do not routinely pickle something every single day. Amy, I do find it interesting that the saltiness of brined and fermented foods often is not mentioned. I wonder why that is? I don't know if it is just because the people who eat those kinds of foods are so used to the salt that they don't think to mention it to others or if there is some other reason. We don't use a lot of salt in cooking, so when I ferment something, I do notice the higher salt levels when I eat it. Dawn...See MoreDog food commercial...

Comments (9)Lavon, the other dog isn't a Papillon. He's a large dog, like a brown and white border collie or something similar. Thanks Ont gal! I didn't even think the first dog was a chihuaha, it looks bigger. But the second dog is gorgeous....See MoreDog food alert
Comments (41)Dogs can have sensitive stomachs and once a type of food is found they tolerate well, you should stick with it. It's not always clear why one food is tolerated and another isn't. When changing from one food to another is necessary, it needs to be done gradually over many days in a mix. like 90-10 then 80-20 then 70-30, etc. until you get to 0-100. Commercial dog food is much healthier for a dog than feeding a single one or two source type of other food (chicken, hamburger, etc) because the non-dog food things people often give their dogs are usually lacking in the various trace nutrients dogs need and are often too protein-heavy. Nutrition topics don't get a lot of coverage during vet school. I find it borderline offensive that so many vets sell food, and of course if your dog is having a problem, what it needs is what they sell. On the other hand, most vets in general practice don't earn as much as their health care peers who treat humans so I guess they get their income however they can....See MoreUser
