Rancid Food (not pleasant reading)

My wife has near constant heartburn, and especially after eating oily and greasy foods.

The problem may be you have Acid-reflux disease:

See your internist.

Just about everything gives me acid reflux. Prilosec keeps it all down.

Esophageal cancer can happen with constant acid reflux. See a doctor.

Rancid nuts should taste rancid (kind of sour). If the PB is loaded with sugar, that might mask the bad taste.

Ah, one of over 50 of Dr. Cooper’s sphincters.

Try a tablespoon of baking soda. You have to drink it with water.

[Robert DeLong]

I agree with the others, I don’t think rancid food was the problem. Probably an allergic reaction to something.

My doctor told me not eat peanuts/peanut butter, since it can contain mold. I can’t say I’ve completely eliminated them.

Sometimes blogs make me sick like that.

Have you considered food allergies?

[treetopsandroofs]

Hmm, I’ve been a Pepcid person. Now I’m questioning my choice.

Eat nothing and drink only water for at least 2 hours before you go to bed.

To me it sounds more to do with WHEN you eat than WHAT you’re eating.

I occasionally have the same issue (waking up in the middle of the night ready to vomit, mucous flowing from my face-holes) when I don’t follow the advice above.

Also, seeing your doctor is probably a good thing too. Anonymous strangers even on this board can often mis-state or misunderstand things.

You should consult your doctor, may be more than just a matter of eating food that has gone bad.

Peanut butter is so dry bacteria can’t survive in it. Even rancid peanut butter won’t hurt you, it will just taste bad.

[gcparent]

Are you under doctors care?

[Red Badger]

I don’t know what that means................

See your Dr. In the mean time, try a time released omeprazole. (Prilosec) They work wonders on acid reflux. Was on one a day, and now one every other day.
