Yum yum @Shaz51, I'm coming to your place for dinner 🙂 Did I read elsewhere you have GERD? I had this diagnosis last year but i took myself off the daily medication prescribed for it due yo side affects. I've had to look seriously at my diet. I noticed it was refined carbs and sugar thhat mad it worst - according to the food diary i did for a few weeks. Large meals bad for it too. Itscmostly under control using diet, just keep some of those otc chewable antacids on hand for when it flares up, usually at night. Hope this helps. You don't need another health thing - feel for you xox

I see there may be more dietary restrictions - I am getting to know what and when to have certain foods

Last night we had steakettes, mashed potatoes and mixed veges --- ate toooo much , have to remember when i have had enough '
