TITLE: The wonders of "zantac" AUTHOR: Possum DATE: 9/23/2004 01:18:07 AM ----- BODY: For those who are wondering, zantac is a great drug they have in Australia which neutralises stomach acid. Great for when I eat the wrong thing. It does not, however, stop the dreaded runny bum that I get with it!!! Sorry about that I have been living on Zantac for the last week. I have been suffering from the worst gastric reflux and acid indigestion that I have had for a long time. No where near as bad as pre diagnosis though. I haven't worked out if it is the food or just being fat that is causing the problem. I am 5'4" and I weigh 84 kilograms. I don't know what that is is pounds sorry. It is a never ending battle to fight the flab because ALL of the pre prepared gluten free food is high in fat or super charged with carbs, or so I've found anyway. I should not be so slack and just eat fruit and vegies and meat and stay away from the pre prepared foods. I have one excuse that I cling to and that is that I work five or six 12 hr shifts a week as a cook so the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook!!!! When I find the secret to wellbeing and the easiest way to lose the flab I promise to tell everyone and not charge them a cent!!!!! I am going to pay off an excersize bike and home gym. I know that I have the willpower to work out because I used to have a gym membership that I used every day before I started this job. Hopefully this will allow me to get a little slimmer!!!! Don't think it will help with the eating of the evil gluten though. I think it is time to go I am starting to sound stupid!!! ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR: Anonymous DATE: 9/28/2004 08:13:31 PM you don't mention it so i'm not sure if you know celiac disease is a cause of maltoma. i have celiac too and also had a bout of h.pylori so i'm concerned about maltoma. did your doctors find the celiac and maltoma at the same time? -------------
