Bland vs. Burn

Well, I've learned what I can eat and what I need to avoid! Last week we had pasta with marinara sauce, one of my favorites. I quickly learned, however, that I should NOT have had it as it quickly upset my tummy and gave me heartburn. Spicy foods are doing the same thing to me now! So here it comes down to the decision - spicy food which I love but leads to burn or comfort foods which are bland? I can't believe my body is choosing bland over burn right now. Poor JR, he loves the spicy food as well!!

Another thing I'm learning is to limit my dairy intake. Every time I have dairy I get a bout of burping!! For someone who loves her milk, yogurt, and cheese, it's very frustrating, especially since we just bought a ton of spicy cheese from Amish Country - now two no-no's. Thankfully, this too shall pass and will be worth every bit of it in the end!!!
