Those buses were fun to the start, so happy it was before the race and not after as our driver had us smashed in 3 to a seat, yikes!<br /><br />I had been on PPIs for years and found no diet changes worked, I'd get heartburn and reflux from water! Finally gave in about 10 years ago and had a Nissen for a hiata hernia and no issues since :) Hope your stomach continues to be fine off the meds.Coach Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110749177657676900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-79283154352179306112012-05-29T17:23:55.771+02:002012-05-29T17:23:55.771+02:00When I look at the photo of Laura Brostolon, all I...When I look at the photo of Laura Brostolon, all I see is that she swings her arms all the way across her body and rotates her feet way to the outside on the backswing and maybe rolls her head as well.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-44486960284088466812012-05-28T23:05:21.042+02:002012-05-28T23:05:21.042+02:00PPC, every time I run a race under less than ideal...PPC, every time I run a race under less than ideal conditions (every race), I think of what you would say. Today I concluded that Montreal must be a city in a vaccuum that is always 15 degrees; I need to do more racing there. If nothing else, I could be inspired by your presence.<br /><br />Kathleen, thank you so much for this link. I have gone lactose-free, gluten free, high omega three intake, atkins (high protein) and nothing changes the fact that I regurgitate everything I eat. Except bread. And when I'm not on those meds, it hurts (heart burn) every time I eat and it has been this way as long as I can remember. But now is the time to see if it has gone away on its own I guess. If it hasn't, I am going to find alternative ways of treating it because I don't want to be on any medication anymore!

Higher fat and lower carbs, more cold water fish for omega-3's, FODMAPS for irritable bowel syndrome, SCD, what about gluten, fructose or lactose malabsorption (these malabsorptions also play a roll in mental health issues)... <br /><br />I think it's an interesting blog. Her name is Melissa Mcewen. She blogs at hunt.gather.love. (I would link but I am on my phone) she was on PPI's for GERD and apparently no longer has it. Although I don't think she knows what exactly she changed to cause her GERD to disappear, she does have some nutrition studies you might find interesting.kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17576419558607129744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-66696954639163692632012-05-28T18:18:12.851+02:002012-05-28T18:18:12.851+02:00congrats on the relative PB.

What do I have? I have seen stomach specialists since I was very young and had colic as a baby (probably also due to stomach issues). Starting in high school I became totally disabled by heartburn anytime I ate fruit, vegetables, fatty foods or sugar. I would lie down for 1-2 hours after every meal unless I only ate a bland carb product. Trust me when I say I ate a lot of bagels and rolls.<br /><br />I have had 3 upper endoscopies (without sedation, mind you!) and before I went on the meds there was serious gastritis and esophagitis from all of the stomach acid. But otherwise no explanation was found.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-22622400979009377412012-05-28T13:57:48.003+02:002012-05-28T13:57:48.003+02:00Danni - what I shouldn't eat: empty calories/a...Danni - what I shouldn't eat: empty calories/artificial sweeteners like gum and diet soda.

Rumor is, wind resistance plays role in short races. It sounds brutal to run a half in this temps. While I ran plenty of ultras (via living in TX) in high heat and humidity, pushing LT in it sucks. Reminds me NYC days and all the half's I used to run there in the summer series...blech. Congrats.<br />So, about stomach meds.
