acid reflux

more complaining at only age 40.

since i've done my 7 day fast, i now have acid reflux. let me tell you: that pisses me off! i wait 7 whole, long-ass, dragged-on-forever-while-good-food-was-being-served-and-featured-on-food-blog days for this??? and if you think i'm changing my eating habits to stop the burn, you can forget it.

what's happening to me? i used to be invincible! i could drink, smoke & party with the best of them. i could eat ANYTHING and brag about my 'iron stomach'. Now i have to choose the days i'm going to party and eat. and can't even be super undisciplined then!

this will not do. I don't like this merry-go-round ride; i want off...

There is no choice. Keep muddlin' along and take the best care of yourself as you can!

Was it the Rolling Stones who sang, "What a drag it is getting old?"

I used to laugh at that, I used to be offended. Now I get it.

I am so with you on this, TK. I wanna go backwards in aging from now on!!!

Jason has the reflux, I feel bad for him. He can’t even eat bananas without getting heartburn, and definitely no OJ unless it’s low acid. I would die. And why don’t they make low acid OJ with pulp? Just because you have acid reflux they think you don’t enjoy delicious juicy bits of pulp in your juice?

I have this problem all the time, due to a really fragile stomach (which I inherited from daddy): anything slightly fatty or something I cannot digest (cucumber, peppers, green salad...).

I just learnt to live with it and to absorb the acid with no fat carbs, but I feel your pain!

Smoking joints and drinking Jack Daniels is a sure fire cure for acid reflux ... or was it a cause. I can never remember after the joints.

Oh GOD! It can't possibly get WORSE. No, I'm sorry, I just will not stand for that! It's bad enough that being in my 30s means that I can GAIN weight 500x faster than I can lose it and that a BIG Friday night out for me is dinner on a patio before I curl up with a good book.

Now I get to look forward to burning throw up in my mouth? Fuck! Someone hurry up and find that fountain of youth.
