So much for sleep…
I figured I could sleep in a bit today due to veteran’s/rememberance day – I still have to work, but I have no idea if Costo or the recyling center are closed for the holiday so I’m putting off that stuff until tomorrow (the Costco order I need to pick up before 9am, so I need to be up and moving at 8). Ha, what was I thinking?
Den apparently is getting a bit of a cold/sinus thing, because he is snoring horribly. And when I asked him to roll onto his side it got worse! I had to pee then, and when I got back into bed I started wheezing (I’m all clogged up too, but mine’s due to pregnancy and the cold winter air).
As if that wasn’t all bad enough, that damn reflux kicked in. The back of my throat was just burning and it wasn’t feeling nice. I sat up, didn’t help… so I went to go make myself some hot chocolate. I didn’t make it all the way to boiling water before my gag reflex got triggered one too many times and I ended up throwing up stomach acid. That’s the worst kind of puke, in my opinion. Nasty, and painful.
So here I am in bed, propped up to hopefully relieve some of this reflux, sipping a hot chocolate, with a heating pack down at my feet, and my husband asleep beside me – who is currently not snoring, by some miracle. I would be sleeping, if laying down wouldn’t induce some more puking.
Every time I burp it hurts. :( This is so nasty.

you should try (plain unsalted uncooked) almonds for the reflux. They help neutralize the stomach acid. Just a few (5 or 6) usually did the trick for me.
Hi Anna! My husband and I are mirorr images of you and your husband when you started this. We have tried for a year or so to do low carb with success and slides. The slides are from not having our favorite foods and your website has been a Godsend for those!! I truly think that through your recipes, we will succeed this time!! Question: how many carbs did you try to stay within daily to achieve your amazing success? Thanks!
