So that's why my days seem to go so fast! :)
I remember in boot camp we were given various for all sorts of things.
The last one was in the hip and told to "walk it off" since the
medicine tended to clump in that area otherwise.
Several smart guys didn't.
The next morning one could hear these bodies falling to the floor when
their legs didn't work since whatever it was had clumped in that area JM>over night.
They also didn't feel very well. :)

The only places in town where I can get a salad with iceberg lettuce
(the romaine is too chewy for me), are the Monday through Friday lunch
buffet at Pizza Hut, and if I order a grilled chicken salad at Texas Roadhouse.

As many as possible. For me, the chocolate has oxalates, which lead
to kidney stones. So, it is RARE I'll have chocolate or candy anymore.
Yet, I need to find something for my "sweet tooth"...but yet, not so
rich, that it sends my digestive tract into a massive revolt.

I love apple juice, but it treats me the same as prune juice would.
I've heard Doctor Pepper described as "carbonated prune juice".
Interestingly, whether a restaurant sells Pepsi or Coca-Cola products, they usually have Doctor Pepper at the soda machine.
Also, apparently the Arby's restaurants have CHANGED from Pepsi
products to Coca-Cola products.
Also, since it's Lent now, most fast food places that normally
don't have fish sandwiches, are serving them...to pick up the
Catholic customers.
Plus, with eating apples, I need to "core them" before eating
them...my dentures will come out otherwise. :P Right now,
though...they fit so perfectly, that I don't have to use Fixodent, etc.

I used to go for fruit cups, but was told to avoid them.

That's because Dr Pepper is independent from either of them... and they NB>both have been given permission to distribute it... in our grocery
store, though, Dr Pepper usually goes on sale with the Coke products...
Around here, Arby's been Coke products as far back as I remember....

I guess it all depends on the franchisee.

I do have to be careful when I cough or sneeze...which I'm doing a
lot of now with this "crud". I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get a steroid shot in the hip (might as well be in the butt) to try to stave
off pneumonia. The bad part of that is that it keeps me up all night.

I don't remember the exact reason, but I try to avoid anything with oxalates...as that for me, leads to kidney stones.
I like the flavor, too... but I've never thought that it tasted like NB>prune juice... was the description more about the results...?

Could be.... or possibly the area....?
They'd just call it sound business practice, I'm sure.... ;)
Which... the shot itself, the steroid, or the pneumonia if you get

Well, it can be, if you drink too much liquid, as it becomes too
much for your digestive tract to absorb...and it leads to Uncle Monty
Zuma and his Crampa coming for a visit. :P
But, too much Immodium can literally be fatal.
Which... the shot itself, the steroid, or the pneumonia if you get
it...?
The shot burns, and the steroid jacks me up to where I get insomnia.
The doctor said I don't have the flu (the test was negative), or
pneumonia (the lungs were clear), but a severe sinus infection. I've always had sinus issues, but never with hay fever, pollen, etc. They
did an allergy test on me, and can't figure out why I'm having the
sinus issues...
but I hear that "having ones sinuses scraped" is very painful.
But, anytime you get something, even with medicine, it takes
awhile for nature to run its course.
I didn't think that fruit cups would have oxalates....
From what I saw on WebMD, foods high in oxalate include:
Beans -- I enjoy green beans and baked beans, but the latter has a
nasty side effect <G>.
Beer -- I don't drink alcoholic beverages...although I like root beer,
it upsets my colon. Hard to say whether I prefer Dad's, Hires, Barqs,
or A&W...all of them are good. I understand it's really "carbonated sassafras".
Beets -- Never cared for them.
Berries -- Never cared for them.
Chocolate -- This one is a stickler. I don't eat as much candy as I
used to, but every so often, I need something sweet. I try to avoid the ice cream sandwiches with the chocolate as well. Some of the Little
Debbie confections I enjoy, but there again, is chocolate.
Coffee -- Never cared for it. I think you have to acquire a taste for
it.
Cranberries -- Only ate them on Thanksgiving...while I love cranberry juice, this may be why I was told to avoid it.
Dark green vegetables, such as spinach -- that's fine with me...I
don't care for broccoli (sp?), spinach, etc. I do like green beans, though.
Nuts -- I used to eat the Planters Peanuts, but rarely do anymore.
Oranges -- This was only if I got the fruit cups...but I was told I
should avoid them.
Rhubarb -- Never cared for it.
Soda (cola) -- This is another stickler. If I'm out, and my stomach is upset, only Coca-Cola (original formula) or Ginger Ale, will settle
it. Pepsi is way too sweet. When they had "The Pepsi Challenge" on the local college campus 40 years ago, they hated to see me coming. No
matter how many crackers, etc. they gave me to try to disguise the
taste, I always picked Coca-Cola. <G>
Soy beans and Soy milk -- Not a fan of soy products.
Sweet potatoes -- Only during Thanksgiving Meals.
Tea (black) -- Never had black tea. I used to drink sweetened ice tea
"by the bucketful" with lemon...but it's rare I drink it now.
Tofu -- Never cared for it.
Wheat bran -- Closest thing I got was raisin bran, but I haven't eaten that in ages.
It is EXTREMELY RARE that I eat breakfast...and when I
do, it's either biscuits with sausage, egg, and chese...or a breakfast platter with the above and hash browns. It may be "the most important
meal of the day", but I'm rarely up before 9am, unless it's a medical issue or something else.
This idea of sleeping for 90 minutes, waking
up and being awake for 30 the entire night is NOT restful.

Well, then, that could be true about just about any liquid, not just NB>Doctor Pepper....
But, too much Immodium can literally be fatal.
Just as well I don't bother with that at all, then.... :)

than to need, and not have. :P

The main sodas I go for are Coca-Cola or Ginger Ale, if I'm eating out...but will take Doctor Pepper if I have to. I can't handle the
Pepsi products at all. They are overly sweet, and set my digestive
tract off.
BTW, sweetened ice tea is made from black tea... (it's not like black
coffee, which is just without milk and/or sugar) It's a variety of
tea, along with green tea, white tea, etc....
When my Mom and I made it, we used either Lipton or Nestea powder,
and just added water and ice.

Well, it was so late in the day for my appointment, and they do
"jack me up" where I can't sleep overnight. Plus, insurance is another issue. I saw a cartoon the other day, where the patient is told by the doctor "We're going to run some tests, to see how your insurance
reacts". <G>
Have you tried using a wedge so you aren't lying flat...? That helps
me immensely.... with at least one pillow on top of that... :)
Not that I can think of...I do have the extra pillows. The reflux
flares up at night as well. But, I have to either sleep on my side or
on my stomach...I can't sleep on my back...my legs spasm otherwise.
Yes, but the powder was originally black tea, before they processed it

Well, it's rare I drink that...unless I'm eating out, or traveling.

That's possible. I've been weather sensitive all my life... 2
indirect lightning strikes not withstanding. :P
I thought you said that you DID get the shot... that sounds now like you NB>didn't... perhaps you'd left out a word...?
I sleep on my side also... the wedge still works for that... I have a

about $40 at a medical supply place... it might be covered by insurance NB>with a prescription, but I never tried to do that....

acid before this was properly diagnosed and I got the right medication

I thought I'd get seasick and drown the first time I tried a

don't slosh around in a bathtub anymore. <G>
That's a bummer. When I had the colonoscopy done last year, I had
the upper GI done at the same time. I think I got one for free, and the other for half price, and only one anesthesia fee.
