I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I have had some health problems since January.
I have a really sensitive stomach. I often know if something will upset my stomach when the food is within 3 inches of my nose or mouth, but occasionally I will eat it anyway even if the alarm went off. One thing that never upset my stomach was meat. Until January.
What would happen was that I would become very bloated. Then the food would seem to get stuck where the esophagus meets the stomach. It would get so bad that I would have to sometimes expel the food in order to start feeling better. That would mean leaving work, because my rule is that whenever I puke, it's time to go home.
It was too bad, because I like meat, but not eating it has been ridiculously easy. I just ate other things instead. No big deal. I haven't had any cravings at all. I could seriously be a vegetarian if I wanted to; it wouldn't be that hard.
However, Suj suggested that I may have an ulcer. I tried to get an appointment with a doctor, but my health card expired. That took a little while to fix. Plus, I'm a procrastinator for the doctor, especially when I am feeling fine (not eating meat). Eventually I made it to see someone who told me that I needed to get "scoped".
