Gastritis

Ugh! I’ve been suffering from gastritis for the past three days. Painful like hell. I am not surprised though since I have been taking my breakfast at noon and lunch at four. I know, I am only tempting fate but then work has been so demanding for the past two weeks there was nothing I could no but slog on so that I can finish them on time.

My gastric started when I was around 16 years old. That was the beginning of a financially tough period for my family and we had to live on canned food and that also food that was taken on credit. We had no choice but daily staple included canned sardine, baked beans, dace fish in black beans, curry chicken and green peas. That's about it. I know these are not nutritious foods but they did keep us alive. However, a daily diet like that hurt my stomach and till today, I have to be very careful of what I eat and what time I eat.

So right now, I finished one tube to Tums E-X already, which is extra strength antacid that my sister sent to me. We can't find that here good as they are. I do feel an improvement. I am also trying to take my food at a more normal time and hope that my bout of gastritis time will just "go away".

Hopefully it won't get anymore serious than this.
