Maybe look into Jerusalem Artichokes. They aren’t listed, but pack a lot of potassium.
BTTT
Does that mean that Chiquita lied to me when they said
I will have to try a banana in the evening when I have tomato products. I LOVE me tomato products, but for the last few years it has been very frustrating to me (and uncomfortable) that I get acid reflux if I have them past about 4 PM. I still do it, of course, but always end up taking a Tums to avoid the acid reflux. I don’t think that this is ideal, because you need acid in your stomach for proper digestion...so perhaps the banana will solve the problem.
Thanks!
Wow...I never heard of that before. My mother used to say they bind you up, but that's not true. Bananas actually help to neutralize the acid in your stomach, and help with digestion, and can work on certain bacteria in the stomach.
I have a hiatal hernia too, and am not supposed to drink soda, coffee, citric juices, or eat chocolate. I do drink diet-caffeine-free Pepsi, have two cups a coffee each day, and do eat chocolate, although I'm diabetic, so I do it sparingly. Juices like orange or pineapple have way too much sugar in them. I've found that Ocean Spray makes a diet 1G sugar cranberry juice that comes in various flavors like Cran-Grape, Cran-Cherry, etc., that I have in the morning to take my pills with. It's perfect, as it doesn't add a lot of sugar to the diet.
If my doctor told me not to have coffee or chocolate, I’d just ask him for a prescription for strychnine on the spot. I definitely see why you don’t listen...you make a couple of adjustments, but you cannot give up those two basic food groups.
Yup. The average anti-nuke protester will get more radiation from food in (his/her/its) lifetime than from airborne particles outside a nuke plant.
I’ve never had those and looked them up. Interesting that they are a native North American species and domesticate, low carb to boot. I’ll have to try some. thanks
I had heartburn for 20 years, and lived on Rolaids. It got so that I had to pop a Rolaids every 20-30 minutes because the heartburn kept coming back. The doctor I had at the time didn’t think I needed any medication, so I got a new doctor, and he put me on Nexium, which took care of the problem. That was back in the 90’s, and I’ve been on acid reflux medication since then. Because I have Barrett’s esophagus (precursor to cancer), I am supposed to go for a Bronchoscopy once a year, but I don’t if I can help it. With all the bronchoscopies and colonoscopies that I’ve had over the years, I told my Gastroenterologist that he needs to set up a Rewards program for his long-time patients...like free hotel rooms or something.
The funny thing is that I never drank coffee everyday until I retired in 2003. I worked the 3-11 p.m. shift for most of my 25 years, and the only time I'd have coffee is if I had to report to work first thing in the morning for training, and then I'd stop at Dunkin' Donuts, and get an extra-large, and a donut for my breakfast.
Banana trees draw rattlesnakes... Avocado trees don’t...
Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana......................
I like them. The cultivated version can get quite large, though wild are small. As a warning, if you decide to plant them, they are extremely aggressive, give them their own space. Also, go easy on them the first time you eat them. They tend to make you gassy the first time or so you have them, until your gut flora adjusts
Duck liver has 230 mg/ 100 grams.
4 oz. of Pate de fois gras a day should fix you right up!
Wild salmon is generally considered to be the best salmon to eat.
Since wild Atlantic salmon isn’t sold, this means that the healthiest salmon is wild Pacific salmon.Dec 2, 2019
“liver”....shutters.
“Despite taking meds, and watching what I eat, I have still had a couple of episodes of waking up with acid reflux in the middle of the night this past year. One was so bad, the crap was coming out of my nose, and my throat was on fire. I was also coughing up small bits of pus for about a week, so I must have aspirated the reflux as well. I have Barrett’s esophagus, so that was a concern for me. I called my doctor, and he told me to call him if I developed a fever. I didn’t, but it was an experience I’d never had before in my life.”
My wife’s best west coast friend, she is like a sister, had your problem two nights in a row after dinner and after bed time.
Her Doctor at our big HMO lives about a quarter of a mile away from her home, and he walked over to her home during her reflux event and gave her 2 Zantacs. In about an hour she was better.
He believes that she has Barrett’s esophagus. Since she is 84, he feels the Zantac is safer than a GI scope.
He told her to take a 150 mg tab of Zantac about 30-45 minutes after her dinner. Then, take a 300 mg Zantac tab at 30 minutes before bedtime. Also, to limit her wine to one 6-8 ounce glass during her evening meal. No wine before nor after her dinner.
She is doing fine with that simple and easy to follow regimen.
If our doctor told us not to have coffee or chocolate, we would ignore him and find another doctor.
Great information!!
Potatoes...what if you made fries in an instapot or whatever they are called? If you make fries, they can be sprayed with EVOO or avocado oil?
I bet other items can be made to taste pretty good and offer a much healthier choice vs frying????
Too much potassium can cause heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat......................

It can also cause a trip to the ER to drink some potassium-absorbing sludge so you avoid V-Tach and/or heart attack. Saw the movie, didn’t get a T-shirt, got a few bills.
