Red Mosquito

shuck and jivers -- crawl out the muck & mire, and announce yourselves

i have been afflicted since youth, and now, as an aging youth, i can eat fewer and fewer greasy treats

i can't eat a lot of really spicy hot stuff anymore...its sucks.there is a lot of prilosec in this house

i have an omeprazole script, twice a day before meals.

what's been your spiciest casualty?

i am beginning to see pizza recede in my dietary rvm

I get it pretty badly with coffee on an empty stomach. The spicy foods only bother me if I eat too closely to bed. The middle of the night can be bad.

I can’t imagine the long-term damage to my esophagus.

Spicy food doesn't bother me that much, but my days of eating heavy greasy food are mostly over. I have to avoid the red sauce more and more, too.

When I was young my stomach was built like a tank...

Tomatoes, more specifically tomato sauce really does me in. I have to elevate the ol' sleep number bed on nights I have pizza.

i seem to be past my out of nowhere, likely anxiety induced acid issues - but i'll stay on the omeprazole for a bit longer.

if i had to pick an individual culinary event that escalated the issues, it was a late december deep dish indulgence during a packers game.

i have been able to return to relative dietary normality, but i watch the spice some and i still haven't sipped any coffee since it flared up.

i’m healthy as a fox

the more i think about it, i do occasionally get it bad at times after shake shack and some greasy pizzas..not giving those up though

god i want shake shack now

i must change the way i live

If you're pregnant, steer clear of pop tarts.

darn tootin'

It waxes and wanes for me, but if I'm in a bad spell (likely anxiety driven) I have to forego coffee and limit beer. Red wine is basically special occasions only at this point, though it goes down easier the more expensive it is. Pizza can be dicey--vodka sauce in particular--but in general it's drink habits more than any particular food that set me off.

I was on an omeprazole script but I let it lapse and now just double up prilosec as needed. For a while I was on busprione for nervous stomach but it made me want to kill myself, so I stopped that. I've also been pilfering my wife's dicyclomine to quiet the spells--works wonders if you can get your hands on it.
