finally admitted it...
7-1-15
Well, finally admitted to a med tech (in assisted living), that I was having acid reflux strong enough to vomit and spit out small amounts of food. She told the resident coordinator and the med tech that took over for the dayshift.
The acid reflux is effecting how much I eat at meals, which is not much. I used to get 2nds at mealtime, now I'm not, no matter how small the portions. My mom says the portions are too small for just about everyone. When I get hungry enough, I'll have little snacks to tide over til next meal.
I researched acid reflux last night and looked through 6 of my medical advice books and found something that may help. Mustard. I hate the way it tastes, but it did calm the acid down enough that it turned into mild heartburn, which is a lot easier to handle. Problem is, the dining room only had 1 packet and I used it this AM. I'm waiting for my mom to bring me a big bottle of it. I think the acid reflux is fueling the restricting, that and my docs want me to lose weight. Now that I've lost some, they said it needs to be more, I'm not sure what to do.
