Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I just take it once a week and it keeps it in check. Before I started, I would wake up every night literally drowning in stomach acid and unable to breathe. When I first started taking it, I was taking it daily, but I always felt REALLY bloated, like I was going to explode. I cut off of it and found that the effect lasted for a week or more, and I started just taking it once a week, and I've been fine ever since.
