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!
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.
