Hello, and questions about Foam and Acid!

[*susan* 1,709]

Steve, I am so glad you got your doctor to call you in a better prescription. It pays to research and take command of our own healthcare!

I am glad you liked the baked ricotta recipe, it is a yummy treat when on mushies!

Just an update:

Wow! One full day on the right tummy meds and it is like night and day! 2 days ago I was miserable, barely choking down puree with a nausea/acid/foam nightmare, and now (after one day on Protonix) I am full of energy, ate egg beaters and roast beef hash for brekky and refried Beans and a little shredded chicken for lunch and I am going strong!

I will be sure not to overdo it, but you guys saved my bacon! Thank you so much for your advice!

Where is that ricotta recipe posted? I can't find it. I tried the one that is just ricotta and you bake it and put sauce over it, but I do remember reading one that had sf pudding mixed in it.

That's awesome Steve so glad you're feeling better - will make eating and afterwards much more pleasant. Aren't we all just wonderful here? (and modest too)!

Thanks VA. I have all the ingredients except for the ricotta. Darn. I was just at the store today too. I don't grocery shop very often these days either.

I'm thinking he meant the spinach baked ricotta, cause you dont bake the cheescake one. the spinach recipe is:

1 15oz. skim ricotta

1 pkg frozen spinach, thawed and drained well

1 pkg shredded parmesean cheese

marinara sauce (optional)

Mix the ricotta, spinach, and 1/2 cup parm cheese in a bowl. Place in baking dish. Sprinkle with another 1/2 cup parm cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown and bubbling (about 30-40 minutes). serve with marinara sauce if desired.

Yummy!

That's the one I ate on mushies.

Yeah, that is the recipe I was talking about!

Although, I altered it and did a combo between that one for the veggies and Eggface's one from her blog.

Hey Steve...how is it going? I experience this today and read your post. I started thinking what I had done differently and I forgot to take the Pepcid Complete....I was hope that was the issue. :svengo:

It is going swimmingly! I went from a miserable wreck, afraid of eating anything to being back on track moving well into solids (which is where I should be). Walking every day between 3-5.5 miles and experimenting with foods to see what works and what makes me feel wonky. Getting the right amount of Protein is still tough, but a trip to costco has helped. I am doing Muscle Milk Light with a Babybel light (cheese round) for Breakfast during the week (I added the cheese, because the shake doesn't hold me for for very long and the cheese extends that to about 3-4 hours.), I tend to experiment with foods for lunch, another muscle milk at about 3 and then a light dinner before my evening walk.

Also, eggbeaters scrambles are my savior, and a safe high Protein go to, mixed with fine-diced chicken breast and spinach or whatever I have around.

As far as the foam and slime issue, it happens rarely now and is usually my fault for eating too fast or not chewing enough.

I am missing veggies something fierce and am going to start experimenting more soon.

What's going on with you?
