Joe,

JM>  With my reflux I find a good belch helps.

  Just like when my brother and I were growing up. We'd buy a glass
bottle of Doctor Pepper, swig the whole thing down, and see who could
let out the raunchiest belch.  Should I alert the folks at Golden
Corral, that we're not 2 beached whales hanging by the food bar after
we graze?? <G>

JM>  Some times I'll have a good slug of milk that neutralizes the acid.

  Usually Coca-Cola or Ginger Ale will do it for me. But, since I have
just flavored water at home, I have to take an OTC reflux tablet...then
sit up for a bit for it to take effect. The reflux is especially worse
when I lie down at night.

JM>  And there is also baking soda and water.  That's nasty tasting stuff
JM>and have to drink the glass in one gulp to be effective.  That'll produce
JM>a window rattling result.  

  On the belcher scale, no doubt. <G>

JM>  I love fruits of all sorts and when in season I eat a lot.

  I used to eat the fruit cups...maraschino cherry, peach, pineapple,
etc. Years ago, my late my grandmother got my brother a gallon jar of
those cherries. He got so burned out that he never ate them again...and
I think he's the same way with rice. I myself love those cherries, and
the only rice I can't handle is the "Spanish Rice".

JM>  What I dislike are fruits in stores that aren't ripe, but I set them
JM>out and will ripen at room temp over a few days.

  The cherry and grape tomatoes rot so fast that it's pathetic. When I
was making salads at home, I liked having them in it.

Daryl
