I already ate whole wheat pasta since I prefer the taste, I don't eat any form of bread, and apparently white rice isn't quite the health killer the American doctors believe it to be.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-43640782332507920492010-04-10T16:37:27.603-04:002010-04-10T16:37:27.603-04:00I don't have your condition but I was able to ...I don't have your condition but I was able to knock out my GERD by eliminating white rice, bread and pasta and using whole wheat versions of it instead. It's a damn miracle. I'd get heartburn so bad I couldn;t draw a full breath.

I wonder if he's available in Georgia?<br /><br />Avitable - I'm holding out for rocket packs, or at least tank treads.<br /><br />Jay - I think my current doctors want to keep me alive so I can continue to pay them. Still, a lot of my problem has been that instead of throwing different things at me, they keep trying the same thing over and over without success.<br /><br />Tracy Lynn - it's actually been almost two years, just a year since I went to a decent hospital and got semi-competent care.<br /><br />Kira - he's good with the useful tips.<br /><br />Gib - I would bow to the master, but your recipe doesn't involve the critical "Drink beer" step.<br /><br />Robin - the easiest changes to make are to exercise more and to increase the fiber and lower the sugar in your diet. I look at the ingredients on everything I buy and avoid foods with added processed sugars. You'd be surprised where you find those things, like in canned vegetables.<br /><br />Captain Dumbass - the government should provide the taxpayers with automated cat-swinging machines to prevent burdening the healthcare system with just such injuries.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-8976881865729405352010-03-31T12:10:03.331-04:002010-03-31T12:10:03.331-04:00Take it easy swinging the cat.

Doctors here are identical, thinking they are the sole geniuses in their field, and seemingly discrediting any other doctor's opinion simply because it is their competition.
