they put fake food in the restaurant windows in japan...never been, but seen pictures, most of the fake food looks better than the real food here
Saw a documentary on that: it's a respected and admired profession; the top "food artists" make big $$ and are in high demand. It also showed techniques and "tricks of the trade" that they use, very innovative and clever

awe, that sucks! Im not ass bad off as u but I understand your frustration not being able to eat the foods you love anymore. Its so depressing. When i find foods that do not upset my stomach I make a point of remembering them and eating them often. It gets boring but gotta roll with the punches. my former Doc gave me a script for omeprazole but it does not work that great for me. Good Luck and I hope you can find a solution to make your situation easier to deal with.

I take Omeprazole daily.
I didn't get heartburn but had this sensation in my throat of being seriously choked & the med takes care of that.

With the side effects of all these different drugs out there now I'll let you know if I grow a third eye or some shit.

Clever indeed. I used to be GM at a restaurant and it was crazy how much goes into food photos for menus and POP pics. It’s an all day job just for a few finished photos..

Yeah, it's been 15 yrs since I've had them. Had a job as a night shift supervisor (3-11), microwave & fridge in my office, so a couple times a week I'd have 2 or 3 for chow. I enjoy cooking but hated making a good meal only to pack it up, frig it for 6-7 hr before eating it. Kinda like direct making leftovers. Other days I'd go to local eateries
In my life that issue was solved by no time to eat and anyone stupid enough to pack food had it eaten by whoever was in the break room cause god knew it wasn't the trauma teams, ortho, neuro or vascular. My money was on those asshats from OB or the Urology jerks.

Your people just didn't create the proper work atmosphere :) Judicial use of terror works like a charm

The VA put me on that crap too. It works. But then they sent out a mass mailing to those who take it that it can ruin your kidneys or something.

So I quit taking it cold turkey. The side effects (not related to acid reflux) of doing that was unbearable, so I started up again.

I believe CN posted awhile back about his regimen which works for him.

I saw the writing on the wall and for the most part gave up carbs. It works but it's a helluva cost.

I'm low-carbing it like Annie, and my heartburn is much less (it pretty much tells how bad I'm being with the beer).
For those acid excursions I've gone away from omeprazole. Like has been said, it works, but it can damage you. The H2 antagonists are safer, and they too work. So I take ranitidine ( generic Walmart Zantac) when I need to forget how much I drank.

I only get heartburn from cucumbers. Also from snuff but I quit that decades ago.

There is a Hungarian salad consisting of cucumbers, sweet onions in a sour cream and (I think) vinegar sauce. Used to love it. Wouldn't even consider it now.

Shame too, that was real good.

I take Niacin daily to help with high colesterol. The side affect is it helps clear THC out of your system. So since I ocassionally smoke I can always piss clean if needed.

I gave up on Omeprazole years ago, now I never go anywhere without a small supply of 300mg Ranitidine, aka high-dose Zantac, I just take one as necessary when I feel the stomach acid rise and the problem is cured in seconds.

The only thing that usually makes that necessary is bad coffee which has too much Robusta in it, so the solution is simple, drink beer instead.

But ask the doc for the Ranitidine, worst case scenario is take one before eating something that might upset your stomach, and then go back to enjoying all the things you love.

Works for me anyway, and what do you have to lose.
