As a different alternative to the lemon juice, I use lemon essential oil in water every day. I take an empty glass bottle, fill it with water, and then add a high quality essential oil(usually 3-4 drops of lemon) and we drink it throughout the day. It definitely helps me with some stomach issues, too.
I have been playing around with essential oils for years and use them every day for one thing or another. In the case of the lemon juice, the oil is cheaper than buying lemons when they're not in season, LOL!
Loving what everyone on this board is sharing on this thread, because it's great to hear how others are taking care of themselves. Funny, but I came on here for a few minutes before leaving for the health food store and I think I'm going to pick up fresh lemons just to try them as an alternative to the oils I use.
