Q: Particularly for minor LPR symptoms, OTC antacid medications such as Tums or Maalox may provide some short-term relief. These medications are only treating the symptoms, and won't have any effect on the LPR condition itself.  If you've been diagnosed with LPR, you may want to talk to your doctor even before taking an antacid or other OTC medication. You should also consult your doctor if you find yourself taking an antacid regularly for more than 7 to 10 days in a row. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as Nexium or Prilosec, are not equally effective for everybody. If these medications don’t seem to be helping your LPR symptoms, talk to your doctor about alternatives. If your LPR doesn't improve with changes to your diet, you may want to try a prescription medication that increases the pressure of your weakened sphincters to keep stomach acid down.  There are also prescription drugs that reduce the number of times the sphincters relax. This can reduce or even eliminate reflux. Prescription medications may cause side effects, and some can also interact with other medications you are taking. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of any possible prescriptions, and tell them about other medications you are currently taking. These medications can be helpful in the short-term, but if you find yourself needing them for several months, it may be time to discuss surgical options with your doctor. There are several surgical treatment options for LPR. In most cases, surgical treatment is successful, but it may cause uncomfortable side effects, such as severe bloating.  Your doctor will be able to discuss surgical options with you, and may refer you to a specialist for further evaluation. Keep in mind that surgery typically is a permanent option that cannot be undone, regardless of the side effects you experience as a result.
A: Try over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Discuss prescription medication options with your doctor. Consider surgery as a last resort.

Q: with other guys. Nothing drives guys crazy so much as when a girl they're interested in or involved with flirts with other guys. Many men are incredibly competitive by nature, and if other guys appear to like you, even a guy who wouldn't notice you before may take interest. Make sure the guy knows you're flirting by doing it in front of him or in situations where you know it'll get back to him.  If you flirt with too many guys in a short period of time, however, he might catch on, especially if you're not normally that much of a flirt. But don't make it too obvious, because he might think that you're a type of girl who's easy to get and flirt with. We don't want to make a bad impression, right? There's a difference between casually flirting and leading a guy on. Don't flirt too much with a guy who you know likes you just to get back at someone else, because you'll be getting the poor guy's hopes up. . Actually dating other guys takes flirting to a whole new level, and it will do the same with the guy's jealousy. Especially if you have just started dating a guy or if a guy has just dumped you, getting out and seeing other people is a great way to keep your independence and to make the guy you want try harder to get you or, in the case of an ex, really regret losing you. Of course, you shouldn't date people you totally don't like just to get back at your ex, because you'll just be hurting feelings and making everything more complicated than it needs to be. If you and the guy you're dating happen to be around the guy you're trying to make jealous, act natural. Let him see you having a great time instead of laughing too hysterically or trying too hard to say, "Look at me! I am having such an amazing time without you!" If he and someone else you know are sitting together on the bus, say hi to the friend and not the guy you're trying to make jealous. If he reacts immediately, he likes you. If not, he probably doesn't care. You don't have to be rude or ignore him completely, especially not if he reaches out to you, but you shouldn't go out of your way to talk to him or necessarily let him know that you notice him, either.  If he texts you a lot, don't get back to him right away. Give it at least a day or two to make him see that you have better things to do than to get back to him ASAP (even if you don't!). If he's passing you in the halls and says hi, you can say hi back, but don't slow down and talk to him; you've got places to go! Even if you don't actually go on dates, it's good to have some guy friends that you hang out with. Even if you're in a committed relationship, there's nothing wrong with having male friends, but when you hang out with them your boyfriend will probably be at least a little jealous and nervous. Just block him out completely, and then he'll get really jealous. Act like you don't care about him. Lay it on, and you'll have a perfect jealousy plan. If you're always available for him, you'll lose some of your mystery, and mystery can create jealousy. For example, don't always answer his calls. When you call him back a couple hours later--you definitely should call him back if you're interested--be vague about what you were doing. Say you were out with a friend or you were just busy. Just by not answering the phone, you may make him wonder what you're doing and who you're with. In the same vein, if he calls you to ask if you want to do something, once in a while it's good to just say that you have other plans, even if you don't really. You don't have to post a photoshoot of you and ten hot guys playing a casual game of volleyball at the beach. However, you can use your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other accounts to make the guy see that you're living a great life without him. Whether you post pictures with guys you know, mention an amazing party or museum you went to that weekend, or just show the world how much you love your best friends, you can use social media to make the guy jealous and annoyed that you have a whole life that does not include him. Don't post too often, though, or he'll think the opposite -- that you have no life. Just posting something two or three times a week should do the trick. A lot of guys, believe it or not, can actually tell when you're trying to make them jealous. Sometimes the best thing you can do is give a flirtatious smile to a different guy, and the guy whose attention you want will be all ears. It's the subtle things that can really make the guy who you want to make jealous take notice, so you shouldn't go too far out of your way to make the guy see that you just want him to see how much you don't need him. If he's in the same room as you, keep doing what you're doing. If you change your entire personality just to make the guy jealous, he'll be able to tell.
A: Flirt Date other guys Try ignoring him lightly. Hang out with your guy friends. Make him sweat a little. Use social media. Don't be too obvious about it.

Q: Baking soda can help remove strange smells and stains from the bottle. It is particularly helpful if you have kept a sticky drink in the bottle, such as juice. Measure out one-fourth cup of baking soda, and pour it into the bottle. Measure out about an eighth cup of warm or hot water, and pour into the bottle. You can use hot water from the tap, but do not use boiling water, as this can melt the bottle. Screw the cap back onto the bottle. Shake or swirl the bottle to mix the solution together. This will also make sure that the solution spreads throughout the bottle. Fill the bottle with clean water from the tap, and dump it out. Keep doing this until there is no longer any baking soda left in the bottle. Once it is rinsed, let it dry upside down on a drying rack.
A:
Put baking soda in the bottle. Add water. Shake the bottle. Rinse.
