We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Thrive to spite them

Dad is doing good at the hospital. They have kept him for observation. He has moved up from a clear liquid diet to just a liquid diet so tonight he got chocolate pudding with is apple juice and bouillon.

I have the official diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus, which is damage to the esophagus from acid. The silent reflux did some damage. All I was told to do until my appointment was to keep taking the medicine but of course I went to see what I should do and not eat.

And it's a lot-- fatty foods, fried foods, spicy foods, onion and garlic (I already knew they were an issue with the gas /bloating and stomach spasms), dairy , caffeine , mint, carbonated beverages, acidic foods, chocolate

In addition from the Low FODMAP elimination I've discovered that cruciferous veggies, grapes, sweet pott, white potatoes, and beans (including green beans) are triggers. I haven't experimented with too many fruits. Apples in small amounts seem to be ok.

So I've been struggling with what to eat. It's going to take a lot more planning . I've done the super low acid diet before but I didn't have to avoid fried or fatty foods or dairy which made it easier.

Plus I have to figure out what to do for dinner so M doesn't have to eat the same things I do. I'm hoping this will only be for a short term and not forever.

And when I went looking online for advice I kept finding people cheerfully saying drinking cabbage juice is really healing and it's something people should drink every day. I don't want to drink cabbage juice ever. It sounds so unappealing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So I've been struggling with what to eat.

Trader Joe has sou vide chicken thighs that are not fried nor fatty, and are pretty tasty as a quick protein. Can you eat noodles or rice or bread? I'm trying to think what vegetables you could eat. Peas? Lettuce? Spinach?
