No Acid Reflux

May 09, 2011

I have now gone a full week without waking in the middle of the night with acid in my mouth. At first I thought I was just getting lucky, but now I know that something has changed. It is also easier now to see which foods cause the acid in the first place. Last night I had pot roast and I felt the acid almost immediately. I think any dense meat will be problematic if eaten for dinner. I cannot say how happy it makes me to have relief at night. I hadn't had a full night's rest since the first month after surgery. I really hope this lasts.

I have also noticed that all of the changes since surgery have been like a flip of a switch. None have been gradual. Things are bad and then one day something changes and its not so bad anymore. I used to vomit every day and feel like my stomach was just filled to the brim. Then one day, I felt my stomach working again. Same thing with the acid. I was at my wits end, and tired all of the time. Then a week ago it just stopped. My diet hadn't changed. But since this has happened I am making a conscious effort to make sure my stomach it totally empty when I go to bed. If anyone is looking for a good way to stop snacking at night - acid reflux is your cure. 

Every morning where I wake up after sleeping the night all the way through, I open my eyes and say, "Thank you!"
