I'm officially old, and can no longer eat any food that has flavor.

For the first time in my life I'm suffering BS like heartburn & acid reflux.

All I have to do is cut out coffee, coke, altoids, chocolate, fried foods, cheese, orange juice, Indian food, salsa, eggs...

I'm not even overweight. How can God punish the thin like this?!!

Worst thread ever!


oh, and FIRST!!!

Second .



Seriously you are not that old, so I don't think it's the age. You are younger than me I think.

Try enzymes, they help.
I go easy on certain foods and have had to change eating habits, but when I do have problems, I take this.


Some people like it so they can pig-out and eat more.

I've been having acid reflux since I can remember and I just turned 22.

Oh, right, I didn't even catch that part of the post.

I don't want to scare you my friend has this, and he is a doctor. If you have severe reflux, what can you do to prevent it?

there are worse things...sex could be bad 4 your health

That's okay. Just means that it's time to start cooking and eating foods with fresh herbs, olive oils, citrus juices and so on. Your tummy will thank you for it eventually and you'll get accustmoned to having a more natural flavor boost.

Doesn't yoghurt help with stuff like this? And some herbal teas.

YAY for constantly accelerated metabolism! I'M 19! So I get to "OM NOM NOM!" on everything! You jellin'? Love ya, man! Stay pimpin'!

Cheese on everything.

I find it hard to feel sorry for you when you say things like this.


I'm obese and yet I don't suffer from heartburn.

Of course, I don't partake of most of what you listed either.

take some TUMS

YES! My dad's friend had that, and was really healthy. He died very quickly from it. Heartburn is no joke!

Mysterioso said:

Me too, but for some reason I am getting heartburn now. Maybe I'm not really thin but have tight skin that is squeezing the contents of my stomach back into my throat

CarrieMpls said:

You're beautiful, that's like thin for the face! I keed I keed!

No, I only said that because one of the main risk factors for acid reflux is weight gain/obesity. But not the only one, I am learning.

NDRU said:

Oh no! I wish I was as small as you. YOU HAVE CHEEKBONES! I don't have sharp features like that. Your face is like a diamond, bro! Rough cuts and sharp edges with a gleam of esteem. DAMN! You're lean! I'm jellin'! But that last sentence was kind of gross. I don't think it's the latter. Perhaps it's just a few bodily dysfunctions.

I may have to look into those. I feel like maybe I should change my eating habits a bit, but since that is damn near impossible....

Fauxie said:

Yes - for some

Mach said:

I used to love yogurt, but it is really gross to me now. Maybe I could try some acidopholis.

NDRU said:

You flatterer.

I'd never heard that it was a cause before.

As for the eating habits, can you try moderation at first? Be aware of your specific triggers and ensure you're not piling them on top of each other? Like by eating fried cheese with a coke and a bar of chocolate for dessert?

CarrieMpls said:

mmm

yeah I think a big part is eating big meals, rather than small servings. Also a walk after lunch might be nice instead of sitting here all day.

NDRU said:

I don't care for Dannon or those types - give me a more natural organic type and I am in

emm said:

thank you! I'm 37 million years old today!

I hear you.

For the past 2 years I've started to get heartburn. I get it, so far, only from coffee in the morning. It's horrible.

NDRU said:

please seek help - apparently if you have a bad diet and just take antacids, you are even more at risk

ZombieKitten said:

It's something that has popped up a couple times lately. I got careful about my food and it went away, but popped up again.

I am due for a doctor visit, tho...
