I almost refused the upper endoscopy – it felt unnecessary at the time. I’m so glad I didn’t. The biopsy came back positive for H. Heilmannii instead of the common H.

I’ve been meaning to share these for the longest time. Lineage Provisions makes some of the cleanest meat sticks and jerky-style snacks I’ve come across – no sugar added, 100% grass-fed, with beef heart and liver.
