Stress seems to be a very marked trigger for me.

Oh joy

#GERD

GERD is not only a dam, but also a source of conflict. GERD stands for Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, a hydroelectric project that Ethiopia is building on the Nile River. The dam has raised concerns from Egypt and Sudan, who fear it will affect their water supply and security. A former Egyptian minister says that the best way to reduce GERD’s impact on Egypt is through a mutual agreement that respects the rights and interests of all parties. #GERD #Nile #Egypt https://www.egyptindependent.com/best-way-to-reduce-gerds-impact-on-egypt-is-through-mutual-agreement-former-minister/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

What’s on my mind? Well, Mastodon…

1) #VampireTheMasquerade is at the top of the list. I’ve been struggling getting my #BanuHaqim written for #SeattleByNight this week.

2) #MagicTheGathering and #CommanderMasters are up there. Trying to figure out if/when I can even preorder anything with any of the LGS’ around here.

3) #EurovisionSongContest is next, because why not?!?

4) Food. I’m hungry and my #GERD meds are onboard. Let’s go!

#introductions

extremely late on this, so let's do the thing:

thomcat here, #add mid 30's with the maturity of someone half my age.

• obsessed with self hosting software that other people make because my brain is allergic to programming and creativity.

• dog walker

• sleep deprived (thanks #rls)

• shut-in

• talks to firewalls and switches, and sometimes co-workers

• eats mcdonalds while watching a24 movies (probably what gave me #gerd)

• extreme lightweight

• listens almost exclusively to #postrock and any other extremely white rock subgenre. irrationally loves female-fronted folk groups (#hem and #thewailinjennys)

• live for fall days watching #wisconsin #football (pro and college)

• somehow married

The notifications on my phone are out of control again. Having #MultipleSclerosis and #GERD is a challenging combination some days.

The reminders of when to take what medication and what medications to take in relation to when I can/should eat is exhausting. And if my meal schedule gets thrown off even the slightest? Everything gets so out of whack.

I miss the days when I could eat what I wanted when I wanted. I miss the days where I didn’t have medications and vitamins to take, too.

**takes #PPI and chews gum to confuse #GERD**

Fuck #GERD and fuck the stress that triggered this episode.

@thezerobit
I had gastric reflux pretty bad for a few years. I was prescribed some kind of medication that I supposed to take every day. Eventually I realised that I need to stop drinking acidic beverages. That's all fizzy drinks. Every time you dissolve CO2 in water you get an acid. Coke, Pepsi and most soda drinks are between 2-3 pH. I had started to drink a lot of Pepsi in an effort to cut down on alcohol. So I figured that if I stopped drinking a litre of acid every day then maybe my acid reflux would improve. I did and it did. Beer is acidic but much less so than soft drinks. So I still have a couple of IPAs every weekend, but no soft drinks.
I haven't had acid reflux for more than a year and I've given up my medication.
Note that I am not a doctor, what worked for me may not work you. I am just suggesting that if you have too much acid in your stomach then maybe giving up strongly acidic beverages is worth a try.
#GERD

I’ve had digestive issues for most of my adult life, GERD for the last 10 or so. I’m recently diagnosed ADHD & think I’m probably on the autism spectrum. I’m going through a patch of GERD, but have been fine on nights when I’ve used binaural beats in an attempt to calm myself for sleep (something I read about recently which has worked well.) Has anyone else had similar experiences. #ADHD #GERD

I used to have pretty bad #gerd / #AcidReflux . It would wake me up at night all the time. The following in combination solved it:
* take an acid reducer and 24 hour allergy pill every morning
* stopped drinking coffee during day and beer in evening (i drink tea all day, instead)

I can drink alcohol (just not every night) and I can eat whatever I want (as long as I don't overstuff myself) without getting symptoms.

@shayz0rz

3/ I haven't had an episode since then (even when I've had a bit of milk product, which used to always trigger my stomach). I have heard that some #IBS can be cured with #antibiotics, and my theory is that's what happened with me.

I still need to stay on the Nexium to eat spicy foods etc and avoid #Gerd, and I still can't digest milk properly, but now it doesn't trigger painful stomach, gas, etc.-- just a quick PAINLESS run to the bathroom.

Well, I did it. Went to Taco Bell.

Obviously not because I was actually hungry. We all know that's not how it works.

I ordered three things...and I got EIGHT. Their mistake. What a bargain. I mean really everything on the menu is all the same 7 ingredients mixed up in different kinda ways.

#GERD #BarrettsEsophagus

Here's a picture of the less spicy, GERD friendly budae jjigae (Korean army base stew) we are making tonight for #MASHMonday (our live watch party of MASH eps). This is #GERD safe because it uses mild gochujang (red pepper paste) and omits gochugaru in the main pot. (In a separate pan you can heat up kim chi, which you can add to separate bowls, along with gochugaru, for family/friends who can eat spicy-as-they-wanna-be.)
