It seems the ...Yes, I learned all that on the web. It seems the actual doctors never go into details about what you should eat, probably because nobody follows their instructions. Believe me, I am now eating food that is much better for me. The website also said to be sure and drink some water as you eat, and to "graze" rather than eat huge meals. I learned the hard way last week that I won't be able to stuff myself, because I turned a good day into a bad one doing just that.Donna.

So the mystery is still there as to what is actually causing your reflux issues, my friend. I think I mentioned in a past comment post about being careful with acidic food and things that contain citric acid. Of course citrus fruit but also things like coffee (instant is ok), some cheeses, processed foods (like bacon), tomatoes, carbonated beverages or the instant sugar-free beverages like Crystal Light, chocolate, the list is pretty long. The main things for me are brewed coffee, carbonated beverages & Crystal Light, and peanuts.<br /><br />It might be some of your Rx medications too. I'm glad the Norvasc (brand name of what you're taking... a calcium channel blocker) is working for you. That was the very first medication I was put on 27 years ago, for my hypertension, and it gave me migraines so I had to switch. Something to keep in mind also... generic drugs hardly EVER work for me, especially for my hypertension & diabetes. I mean "do NOT work" at all. So if you ever get in a slump try asking your pharmacist for the brand-name of what you're trying. You might get a very different result from the generic. <br /><br />Life is definitely not for sissies, as you said, Donna. My prayers will continue for you, kiddo. ~Andrea XOXOXOThe Feminine Energyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145843258211481300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-44027333660435601822021-04-28T04:49:43.996-05:002021-04-28T04:49:43.996-05:00Worry doesn't help, does it?

Having to adapt to restrictions is NOT fun at all. I've given up carbonation for the most part because it doesn't settle well on my stomach. I used to be fine with it. Regular cucumbers make me burp.

I think giving up bacon and fried foods hurt the worst but now I rarely think about them. They aren't good for us no matter what our health issues.
