I need urgent advice

I am going to a hen night tomorrow night and it is a curry house. I thought I would be ok but now I am having an acid attack (they come in days of 5-6 and it started on saturday). Today i have a tight chest and feels like something is on my throat. What can I eat at the curry house that might be ok. My favourite is a korma, do you think I will be ok with that?

You're on the right track, but korma usually had onion and garlic in the sauce. Talk to the waiter and ask if there is anything without onion, garlic or tomato that you can have, or perhaps a minimum amount of sauce, or on the side, or something. You might also ask for some yogurt or a glass of skim milk on to help cut the heat. Good luck. Indian food is great, but very risky. Take your meds, and remember to relax and have a good time!
Hugs, Sue

Oh no I would not even go there lol
With all the spices and that I would be in a bad way for weeks.Think about it before you eat,try and ask what would be the best for you,mybe something with mint or ginger in it.

I tried a little bit of korma sauce tonight. I was ok at first but have those sort of empty burps that come up half way in you throat and never finish. Have taken two Gavison so fingers crossed
