Tis Friday after a crazy week dealing with unstable and mean people at work. I’m so relieved! I love my job – I love my job – I love my job. Also since last week, I’ve been dealing with acid reflux and heartburn. At first, I thought it was running that caused it but the gastroenterologist thinks maybe I just produce too much acid. Here all along, I thought I had an iron stomach. I can eat ANYTHING! Anything except coffee, fruit, wine, juice, kimchee, pickled anything. Last week, I was nearly done in by an innocuous peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I downed Maalox to put out the fire and it helped for all of 5 seconds as it went down my throat. So I’ve truly given up coffee (for now), no cheating. Also, the doc said no food or drink 2 hours before bed. For anyone who likes to keep water by their nightstand, save it til morning or you run the risk of pissing off your esophagus. And if you like eating as much as I do, that just sucks.

oh noes! what a disaster!
Hope you feel better.
holy cow… that like wipes out every possible thing you love to eat. O_O
I’m all better now. In proton pump inhibitors we trust. Even had coffee this weekend – a lot of it. I probably shouldn’t push my luck though so it’s back to water again at least during the week.
I think you’re supposed to avoid garlic and onions too. And cut down on the alco-ma-hol.
Oh wow, that too huh? I’ve been eating everything again now that I feel better. Maybe I shouldn’t push my luck though.
