The Good Banter Thread

[sissy]

Well did you tell him about the ginger as it can cause intestinal problems with some people as it does not break down very fast in raw form

Sorry to hear that mogsie. I have the acid reflux too but no pain. I just felt like I could not swallow some foods, especially trouble w/ meat that I don't chew up good enough.I don't have enough acid to digest my food and I have used a couple of spoon fulls of vinegar but tired of that as it tastes bad. Tried the super enzyme caps and they work pretty good. Now using Betaine HCL caps when needed before a meal. Reflux can be caused by either too much or too little acid in your stomach. Doc's like to hand out Prilosec like candy to use as a band-aid coverup which can cause it's own health problems in the long run. Do some checking up and you will find out lots of info on the subject. Hope you feel better soon!

thanks guys, i dont think it was the ginger sissy, that was just a nibble, apparently my stomach is producing too much acid, so the doc has gave me lansoprazole tablets, that make my stomach produce less acid, and some gaviscon, which is a liquid medication to take when it is bad, its like a acid neutraliser, and he gave me some strong co-codamol and antibiotics for the chest infection, i can eat ok just pains like hell afterwards, doc says ive got to eat small meals until it clears :sad: :sad: ime hungry, i like BIG meals,

Oh god don't light a match .Poor Mirka I feel sorry for her .By the way what happens when you drink as I was told by my doctor that cold fluids can cause stomach acid to go hay wire .Does you beer ever cause you any problems .I never drink soda but he said anything like that can cause the same thing ,especially if your eating hot food with a cold drink .Well lets hope you get much better mogsie we need you and your good banter thread .

 

[mogsie]

hey sissy its something ive never had a problem with before, very rarely get heartburn !! hot food cold drinks carbonated drinks all not a problem, this is a first !! hopefully it will clear soon and never raise its ugly head ever again, talking about beer, ive now joined a home brewing forum also, needed some advice regarding the ginger beer i have fermenting, 1st fermentation is over and currently at 6.2% alcohol by volume, onto secondary fermentation now ! i stphoned it off into 5 ltr bottles with some priming sugar, (these bottles where designed for still water !!) went and checked on them and they were like balloons !! had to quickly draw off some pressure, back in the barrel now until i get more suitable containers, !! nearly had ginger beer bombs there lol

 

[j.w]

Mogsie you should have taken photo's of the bottles but then you were prolly in a panic at that point trying to hurry and save the beer,lol!

 

[mogsie]

[HARO]

[sissy]
