Acid reflux and holidays do not mix

The last few weeks have been very busy here in Cyprus and not very good for my acid reflux. There have been plenty of friends out on holiday so again much eating and drinking.

One friend has just received a container of household goods from the UK and we have been working on that. Of course every 10 minutes a beer is required to quench the thirst an it really has not been good and bouts of heartburn have been regular occurrences.

We have also helped the same friend put his new boat in the water and again every time we have gone onboard it had to include a good amount of beer. I really will be glad when all the holiday makers go home although I could try to say no to the beer (maybe not). Just have to take more acid reflux medication.

Not only is the reflux bad but my diet is also suffering and it seems I am putting on weight again. Gaining weight also does not help the acid reflux or health in general, so the vicious circle starts again.

Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon and we can get back on track and try some more natural cures for acid reflux. That is until Christmas which can be one of the most stressful periods for acid reflux sufferers. But that’s another story.
