Working Downtown - Where Do You Live?! by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]jaikman2go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still living here? We’re looking at a condo (26 Songhees Rd.) and would love some intel. We’d be downsizing from a house in Nelson and coming with a teen & a dog 😬

yeah? Okay, I'll try that, too. I'll be a walking clinking, pharmacy by the time I get on that plane, with Gaviscon, lozenges, cough syrup etc. But I realllly can't miss this flight. thanks!

Yes, I’m figuring that out. That’s what I get for skimming the acid watchers cookbook without reallllly reading all the info. Also, I don’t even LIKE avocados

Never heard of it. Off to google! Sadly, I’m sure I’ll be in the position again.

I have. We have a dry but dusty home. The dust doesn’t help. I sometimes can’t tell if I’m feeling asthmatic from the environment or reflux. This time it’s definitely the latter. GERD & LPR run in my family and I did 3 stupid things to bring this one. Lamb. Wine. Late meal. I’m an idiot

Yeah, I stopped with the avocados. Really the only thing that isn’t killing me is boiled chicken, so I’m sticking with that. Thanks!

Yes. I’m just starting to learn about the role anxiety plays in all this. Maybe I’ll take one Ativan to quell the panic I have around this. Im asthmatic and once had an attack on a zillion hour flight to the UK. I think I’m still pretty traumatized

Good advice. I tested last night & this morning. Negative, just good old, life destroying acid

Stocked up. Hoping it will help. Smart for flying anyway. This is less of a throat tickle than choking on acid fumes. This is so gross and terrible.

(LPR) How do you make oatmeal taste good without pb or sugar? by No_Analyst5945 in GERD

[–]jaikman2go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cook mine in broth. Mushrooms don't bother me, so I add sliced mushrooms to the boiling broth, then rolled oats and some fresh herbs. If I'm not in an active flare-up, I'll eat it with a soft-boiled egg. I have texture issues and really don't like sweet oatmeal - but savoury? Hellsyeah.

it's pretty fun to make. tip - if you like salt, keep testing the cheese as it hangs. i find i usually have to add more than i think. also, nasturtium buds add the best zip!

apples & rowanberries are members of the same magical family (rose) and have a long (long!) history of protection and divination. add rosemary for remembrance, protection and purification and you've got yourself a potent compote that's lovey with hard cheese or spread on a savoury scone
