Stomach Ache

 I'm sure I mentioned that last year I had an endoscopy because I was sick all the time. It turned out my stomach lining was raw. The doctors said it was too much Advil. Probably true because I was taking a lot for joint pain. I was also taking handfuls of vitamins and maybe they didn't go together. In any case I stopped drinking coffee and eating acidic foods. I stopped eating much of anything. 

I did feel better. Lately I've been having one cup of coffee a week. Sometimes two. I had an incredibly delicious passion fruit cupcake the other day. Left over pulled pork. And I feel pretty bad today.

It seems like I can eat things sometimes and not others. Which is how things started last year. Time to narrow things down, I suppose. It just always feels like a struggle to know what to do. 

My appetite comes and goes so the struggle isn't about denying myself things that I want. It's more about not being sure what's going to work. Things like eggs can be fine and then one day hurt. 

Getting old.

Such a drag.

I have similar issues. Lately what feels safe is cottage cheese and strawberries. :/
