For several months I've had background heartburn which often develops into raging reflux >:(
A few weeks ago I didn't go shopping so ran out of egg custards, eclairs etc.. Heartburn disappeared :o
Last week it was background. Constant. The need for milk of magnesia and 'rennies' was necessary.
So I am being more cautious about what I am putting into my gob.
Breakfast is always muesli, a little milk and sugar plus a black tea, 2 sugars
Evening meal is usually a curry on rice; stir fried or roasted veg. with chicken or meat ........ mince mixed with veg. on pasta. Occasionally sandwiches from a store when we are in a hurry or away from the house; usually white bread with filling. Crisps. Coke.
I know that I eat too quickly.
Chocolate - the food that melts at body temperature so gives pleasure. Good for us in small doses ;). I fancy different bars - currently it's Cadbury with nuts. A few months ago it was 2 squares of dark chocolate for pudding. Flake anyone ;D
Lunch is the most difficult - today I've had an oven cooked pre-prepared pizza with mozzarella and mushrooms. Eaten slowly. Savoured, the cheese melting gently and the mushrooms gentle on the palate. Having been anorexic since aged 3 where food was eaten, enough to keep me upright .......
I really have to fancy foodstuffs in order to consider eating them. Salad, naahhh ........ radishes however, eaten as a snack! but oh they have been hot recently :D. Spuds in any design :-*
-
I saw someone push the flake in their ice cream 99 cornet, push it down into the cone. I so want to do that!!
-
Was it me ;D

I think it was Dawn French in one of her programmes! ;D

Oh, I have always done that. It's great because it make the chocolate last longer. :P

It might be the pastry on the custard tarts/eclairs CLKD.
Pastry is hard to digest.

Sounds brill, I'm now on a mission to do that Shady! :)
-
We think it's the fats littleminnie - tnx. Will see what the pizza does ....... I'll have to eat more fruit: we R picking plums, apples and Alpine strawberries this week :-*
-
What makes you pick a pizza?
-
Bread, chip and anything doughy does it to me.
-
Ooh they sound good CLKD. I know a place to go picking blackberries, it is time..
-
CLKD can I ask you what are alpine strawberries like, I love strawberries, tayberries, raspberries so sounds good x
-
Alpines come from the Alps. They are very small. Thin leaved plants, we keep ours in pots on a table to stop the slugs. Very sweet. Several Companies sell them on line if you can't find them in Garden Centres.

I like cheese on toast....eggs on toast, but eggs don't like me...😷

I love food too, getting more enjoyment out of it since being healthier, flavours seem more powerful & enjoyable since cutting back on sugary things. I seem to be more bloated, IBS & reflux symptoms after bread. I had a brown bread sandwich friday at work, salmon on toast saturday for lunch & sunday am toast & boiled eggs. Was up till 2am this am bloated, reflux & cramps, despite Rennies & Buscopan (I take probiotics & Ranitadine twice a day). Thankfully rarely as bad now but it's awful when its starts & you know you have work in the morning! >:(

I've eaten the last chocolate eclair .......... 2 egg custards in the fridge and That's It. I think it's the fats.
Coffee makes me feel sick so I stick to T or Coke. I don't touch alcohol other than a sip if DH opens something special.
