Fall Football = Food Fun and Family

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own.

Fall football season is just gearing up, and this guy is excited for the games, the camaraderie, and the foods I allow myself to indulge in. One of my favorite game time recipes is my Super Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip. It is rich, creamy, and spicy. I serve it with corn chips. 

So, you probably know where this is going. I can’t help myself. I just love serving and eating game-time comfort food that probably isn’t my best friend later in the night or the next day. I am talking about the heartburn that sneaks up on me. 

I have suffered from heartburn, especially when I am not careful and eat a lot of dairy, spices, and chips. I get that burning sensation in my upper abdomen followed by some unpleasant burping. While it really is painful to me, it is also unfair to my wife whom I can keep up at night when I am miserable. 

But, this season I am going to be smart and proactive. I’m taking Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT) before I even start making my famous dips and snacks. As recommended on the packaging, I am careful to take this for 14 days to complete the full regimen. 

For the many of us who suffer from chronic heartburn, it is so easy to be able to take a remedy in disintegrating tablet form. You simply place a pleasant strawberry flavored tablet in your mouth and allow it to melt. You don’t need to find water to wash a pill down. For best consumption experience, allow tablet to dissolve on your tongue. Do not chew Omeprazole ODT tablets or dissolve in liquid.

Omeprazole ODT is the only dissolving tablet of its kind on the market. The medicine works through a technology called MELTech. This over-the-counter medicine is available in my pharmacy’s store brand and treats the same symptoms as Prilosec OTC, but at a lower cost. All I need is one dose daily for 14 days to get  24-hour relief. Omeprazole ODT is not intended for immediate relief and may take 1-4 days to feel the full effect. You shouldn’t take this medicine for more than 14 days unless directed by your doctor.

If you are like I am and suffer from frequent heartburn while indulging in game day festivities and treats, make your life simpler by picking up Omeprazole ODT from your local pharmacy, market, or big box store. Look for the store brand and save some money. Use this store locator to find Omeprazole ODT in a store near you.
