What are you drinking?

My local to work does a bacon chilli vodka. I like bacon, chilli and vodka, but together? Hell no!

What an awful combination. Even past the point of being very drunk that still wouldn't appeal.

Breakfast Blend coffee to cap a good day

Oddly (for me), a glass of white wine (Ontario).

I've always liked the tastes of white wine, but for many years couldn't drink it because it was like a switch that immediately turned on awful heartburn. A few years ago I bit the bullet and went to see the Doc, who prescribed me some magic. Almost 3 years and I have not eaten a single antacid, whereas I used to consume enough on a monthly basis to chalk up a baseball diamond. Now it's like I'm a leadbellied 23 year old again, I eat and drink whatever I want without fear.

I belong to a wine club and often get bottles of white, and was just stockpiling them in the cellar. I have about 70 bottles and just enjoy them at a leisurely pace (still prefer red wine to the power of a jillion). Ontario produces some of the best white anywhere, and I have some great stuff, but I don't have the palette for it like I do other drinkables.

I just pull bottles at random as I learn the grapes, tonight is a dusty bottle of '07 small lot chardonnay. Not bad, but I prefer white less rich (totall opposite of how I prefer my reds).

I know what you mean. Nexium changed my life.

For me it is omeprazole. And I don't know if it changed my life so much as saved it. I was one of those idiots that had not seen a doctor in about 20 years, spouting drivel like 'I'll go see one when something is wrong'. I've smartened up considerably of late.

Prilosec didn't work for me. It helped but didn't stop it. Nexium stops it cold. I've suffered from severe gastric acidity my entire life. Mom said I used to lie in the crib and scream. Back in the 60s, they couldn't do anything about it. I got so used to living with it that I didn't even try to address it. Then I got married and my new husband said, "We've got to do something about this." I found out then that treatments hadn't much improved in a couple of decades.

Then Nexium came along and I've been essentially pain free (from that anyway) for the last five years. My gastroenterologist told me I had the absolute worst presentation he had ever seen.

I didn't get reflux at all. What I got was spasms. My stomach would spasm in reaction to the overabundance of acid. It would lay me flat out for 12-24 hours at a time. It felt like labor.
