Remedies for burning stomach

Hope y'all on the road to recovery.

I tried on that 12 hr. lip puffing lipstick 48 hrs ago. It's still glued to my lips. I tried cold cream, and every type of facial cleanser possible even soap, which tasted nasty.

Should I try nail polish remover?

what stuff is this? are your lips big and pouty? :shock:

Yes and itchy. I look like Miss Piggy. I think I have lip crabs.

poor thing. soak your lips in some warm salt water then PM Dr. Skunk and ask him what to do about lip crabs...

:funn: Only you Mango. Did you use your full and pouty lips to full advantage?

Gotta run out, so no time for a lip soaking.
For now I will either wear a scarf or put bandaids on my lips.

Then I will stop at CVS and pick up some hemmorhoid cream and see if that gets the lipstick off and help with swelling.

No, I did not venture in RO's thread about the balls and the face.

I think we need to whine and provide a comprehensive list of our mental and/or physical problems.

How about a thread called SoWacko on SoWal?:funn:

I have the same problem. It's GERD. You need an EGD to check for a hiatal hernia and polyps. You could have stomach or esophageal cancer. Until then just Google and look for a GERD diet. No chocolate, alcohol, mints/gum, caffeinated beverages, oils/fatty foods, carbonated drinks, citrus fruits, spicy food, or tomatoes. Sleep on a wedge pillow, preferably on your left side. Don't lie down for at least two hours after a meal. Basically you can't eat at a Mexican or Italian restaurant any more if you want to live.

Your doc will probably prescribe Protonix, Nexium, or something like that.

It's not very fun. I'm not gonna lie -- I break the rules a lot because I'm a foodie.

Oh, and the Versed they give you when you have the EGD is the world's best drug, IMO. One of my best friends and neighbors is an anesthesiologist. She laughed when I asked her if she could give me a dose of Versed every Friday and Saturday night -- no calories and it doesn't give you the munchies. It just makes you love everyone and feel happy. She says they've had a lot of success with that drug.

Beachrunner, I am avoiding the things you mentioned. And am on Protonix. I have had mild flareups of this in the past that last several weeks but do clear up. I am making sure I eat nothing fried, only grilled and eat bland foods for now. Am feeling a lot better.
