Newsletter – March 2014

This is our first newsletter for the year and we hope that you have a little bit of time to grab a glass of wine, chocolate or a coffee (even if it’s on almond or rice milk for those breastfeeding little ones with cows milk allergies!) to have a read. I would like to extend a huge welcome to our new RISA members!! We have around 12 members joining us each month and hope that we can provide you with support, information and reassurance to help make your reflux roller coaster a little bit easier. We hope that 2014 finds you and your refluxer’s well and getting some sleep!
