I rarely drink coffee. I try to avoid trigger food as much as possible, but I’m afraid it’s not possible in 100%. Can’t remember the last time I drank coffee. Today I decided to have one with almond milk. I’m scared of getting symptoms, Barrett’s esophagus and even cancer. I keep feeling like an air bubble in throat, sometimes I clear my throat.

I take PPI and I have a GI visit in a month. I think I have to go get an endoscopy anyway.

Anyway. Just wanted to vent. I think I just cannot accept the fact that this is my life forever.

Maybe I should take some pills for anxiety? I’m fairly sure my LPR is mostly caused by an endless stress and anxiety so maybe it will calm my LPR down.

I keep asking Chat GPT for things and stuff and he claims that complications from acid reflux are really rare. Yet you read about it in the comments on TikTok all the time. ChatGPT says it’s an information bias or whatever. Basically that only sick people comment things like that and those who actually live a normal life with acid reflux don’t comment on forums and TikToks. Maybe it is true.

How are you after the coffee? ☕️

Carpe diem…. Might be easier said than done. But…. Take this journey one day at a time. Learn from this medical journey and see how you’ll be able to go forth not just now, but in the future. I may sound crass but don’t worry sooo much. And DON’T google/ ChatGPT everything YOU are dealing with your own body. That is just a robot. Your experience will be different from anyone else. There may be one or two who may have the same experience as you. It’s good you’re taking charge to avoid any triggers. But don’t limit yourself - and again, I may sound crass. But we’re all going to die someday. Sooo enjoy the food and the offerings. You said your mom has it & is living her best life. See what helps her and what might be suitable for you. If it helps, then yay! Don’t punish yourself or be scared. You have a village (us) behind you.
