Hey Julie, I get a lot of indigestion, especially at night. Antacids help some, but what else can I do for my rumbling stomach? - Joe D., Beeville. Hi Joe! Indigestion is no fun and left untreated can lead to more serious health problems like esophagitis or even cancer. Antacids are a common treatment, but there’s a lot you can do to prevent indigestion in the first place. Since your indigestion is worse at night, make sure you aren’t overeating or eating too close to bedtime. Lying down with a full (or overfull) stomach will allow digestive acids to flow back up the esophagus causing heartburn or acid reflux. Avoid any foods in the evening that might add to your problem, such as fried foods, spicy foods, or foods high in sugar and/or fat. Make your evening meal simple for your stomach to digest. As with most health conditions, alcohol and smoking make indigestion worse, so stay away from these to improve your stomach issues. Take a relaxing evening stroll after you eat to encourage the digestive process, and drink plenty of water. I’m a firm believer that it’s better (and usually cheaper) to prevent a health issue than to treat one, and I hope you’ll see improvement with your indigestion once you establish some healthier habits!

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

This poor girl was found living as a stray along with her sister Maggie. The two pups spent each day trying to find enough food to get by and a warm place to sleep.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

The casual baseball eye might not detect it, but the Los Angeles Dodgers have had a clown car full of players hit the injured list this season.

However, on Wednesday, the Dodgers welcomed back ace Tyler Glasnow after a short IL stint, with the lengthy righty (who looks just like Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders) throwing five innings of one-run ball.
