My GERD has been mostly under control for months. I could even eat some spicy foods (my favorite) on occasion with no reaction. Tuesday night I decided to eat some Ben and Jerry's. BIG MISTAKE. Worst flare I've had in a long time. I feel like death. Sore throat, bloating, stomach pain, nausea, fatigue, severe hunger, burning sinuses, the whole nine yards.

I'm eating plain chicken and rice, eggs, and squash. I'm already on omeprazole but doubled my dose and added famotidine twice a day. I'll survive, but I'm never eating ice cream again. It goes to the GERD graveyard where it will rest next to sodapop and red sauce.

RIP ice cream. You will be missed.
