There's this: https://discover.texasrealfood.com/keto-clarity-hub/keto-diet-and-stomach-ulcers - take it or leave it.
After years of buying Omeprazole in bulk and eating Antacil like candy, at the age of 71 all that disappeared for me when I went low carb.
(Worked for me. Drank some cheap Thai wine last night and got my first acid reflux attack in years, so diet must have something to do with it. Cured it with a teaspoon of baking powder).
Did the doctor ask about your diet? Problems with the digestion just might have something to do with what you eat?
Good luck mate.

I have seen such a thing as citrus potting compost but any well draining, slightly acidic soil will do. Here in Buriram they plant into bio char, which you would then need to fertilise.

Looks to have been planted too deep. It might be a tricky job in the heat but: water. Dig around carefully and lift the tree out. Make sure that you replant to the same depth as it grew up in, should be obvious. Don't neglect to water. Or buy a new one!

How about those roughly 500,000 illegal Israeli settlers? Does it help the peace when they build their houses on other people's land?
Every time Israel makes concessions it brings peace, yes... for a few weeks. The West Bank as well as the Golan heights are essential to Israel's security. Terrorist attacks are now almost unknown in those areas, the Arabs living there, like the Arabs living in Israel, are happy with the way things are. Things could be better of course. Try to understand: the Jews aren't going to lie down and let themselves be massacred by people that say that that is what they want to do.

Drinking water to excess is not the solution. The water will flush away those electrolytes you need to stay safe, so take care to find a solution. This is a problem well known to sports physicians and came to their notice during long endurance runs when athletes were collapsing and sometimes dying.
I'm 76 and ran my slow and easy 10 K this morning, after taking electrolytes (and coffee!), 28°C, 78% humidity. 15 K tomorrow.

And as I already replied, it's a false equivalence.
Palestinian people living in Israel were already living there before the creation of Israel. They are not settlers imposed by force like Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
If Israel refuses that Palestinians can settle in Israel (for understandable reasons from their side), there is no reason to accept that Israelis may have a right to settle in the West Bank. One of the basic principle of fair international law is reciprocity.
Jews were always present in the area, before Islam invaded and bloodily expelled the original inhabitants, including Christians, from large parts of the Middle East including Turkey. The Crusades that the Islamists complain about so bitterly were caused by the mistreatment of Christians and Christian holy places in Israel, as well as the closing of the trade routes and wholesale slave raiding committed by the Arabd throughout the Mediterranean and even up to Iceland and England. I wish we could get away from complaints about what happened many generations ago and try to find a rational solution based on the present situation.

SInce when can Palestinians join the army? Druze can, though. Army service confers various advantages, so Palestinians are disadvantaged.
According to the "Palestinians" everyone living in that area is a Palestinian. Arabs living in Israel can do all of that and more. They aren't interested in participating in the Gaza conflict.

equal rights?
What a bad joke.
Never been there or read much, have you? Palestinians living in Israel can vote, become judges, join the army, work freely. But don't let facts interfere with your joyful commenntaries.

OK. Get them to agree to a two state solution and problems like this would be solved. Those Israelis would either become West Bank citizens or be forced to return. But Hamas (not present in the West Bank), Iran and Syria wouldn't like that, would they?

Only once needed assistance on the old truck, bloody wheel fell off. I walked (I guess I could have stood looking as helpless as possible by the truck until somebody took me along) to a nearby restaurant, they called somebody they knew and two hours later we were on the road again. Bodge job as it turned out, but we did get home.

Who told you that Dicky?
Not in my experience it's not.
It can be. We were told that once our (new) car was 7 years old, we would no longer be able to get First Class. So we changed insurance, and the car is now 11 years old, despite having been to the garage for dents four times (dogs and one somnolent motorcyclist).

How about all the videos of Israeli soldiers bombing and killing Palestinians? I don't know if they send those videos to their mothers or to other soldiers and I don't care. Fact is that those videos and actions exist as well.
Quite right. This always happens in conflicts and especially in guerilla warfare. Hamas made a point of building military strong points in or under hospitals and schools. The fact that " don't know if they send those videos to their mothers or to other soldiers and I don't care." does suggest that you haven't quite grasped what is going on. Israel has constantly since about 1935 proposed a two state solution, retreated from occupied territory only, ageneartion later, to receive the same response: "Kill all the Jews". Maybe you didn't know about that either.

Oh boy. You can find videos of Hamas rapists and murderers gleefully phoning their mothers to boast about how many Jews they just killed. You can also find videos of those deeds actually being done. Many members of the US congress have seen them.
You believe everything the UN says is gospel? As I said, oh boy.

Using BMI results can be misleading. It was originally developed by army and navy recruitment agencies, so not really meant for individuals. Try: waist measurement should be less than half your height.
No point in discussing diet here as that usually devolves into a fruitless, usually misinformed, discussion.

Last time I went to a small local festival (they were banned in Buriram after this) I really enjoyed seeing monks with cigarettes in their mouths manually preparing gunpowder. I also enjoyed the news of a couple (both married, but not to each other) that got incinerated in a car by a crashing missile.
I would go again but now it would be a long drive.

Most of the people responding here seem to be talking about soi dogs, that is to say, they live in cities. Running around just about every possible and impossible trail around our village in Isaan, I only once got bitten, by a dog I thought I knew well enough to trust but had just had some whelps and so got very aggressive. Most dogs will bark and snarl before actually attacking, this one quietly ran up behind me and gave me a nip. I'm afraid that dog had disappeared the next day as I did complain.
I tend to plan my running routes in terms of 1: dogs? and 2: possibility of finding sticks lying around near them?
I found a new route near me. First time: aggression from two farm dogs. I shouted, they removed themselves.(Never see Farang running) Second time, with stick, less aggro. Third time: one dog came up and ended up letting me stroke him. Most rewarding. Don't get me wrong, I do get to shout on most runs, and it usually works.
I'm going to take the same trail tomorrow, but will have a discrete whacking stick about my person, plus some dog biscuits.

LOL. your Transit van ain't anywhere near as "huge" as a Scammel truck. Nobody messes with one of those. Double declutch, but would go just about anywhere.
LOL, good for you. I was driving a Scamel (illegally) at age 17.

Those were the days!!
I passed my test in a ford consul - 3 gear column change and in order to pass you had to go round sharp corners in 1st which had no synchromesh (double declutch) - those were the days THEN now give me an auto anyday - but it is true years ago you were taught roadcraft - not how to pass a theory test.
I wonder if people these days know what a double declutch action means? I learnt to drive on a horrible, huge Ford Transit van with a clapped out diesel engine belching clouds of fumes and non-functioning gearbox. I actually managed to change gear without declutching at all, when my dad wasn't around. We had a different approach towards cars in those days... we looked after and controlled the car, seems to me that it's the car that controls the driver nowadays.. big car, must drive fast, MUST overtke, etc....

Every year in our village, after a week or two of heat we get a series of those lovely triple bangs. Same thing when it starts to rain, which will be soon, I hope.

I'm not rich but I never bothered with repairing fans. I have taken them apart, cleaned and lubricated the b****y things, broke down again after a week or two.

You're in an elevator, you say hi and they don't respond. They are sitting next to you, you greet them and they don't respond.
Some people always seem stressed, what's their problem? Is their jaw to heavy?
I run most mornings and have been over every country lane, farmyard, riverside path up to 10 K distance. Depending on how I'm feeling ( I always give them a SWK) I might shout it out if they don't answer, or ask if they speak Thai. I think that everyone around here, mostly farmers, knows about this bizarre behaviour, I now get kids that I didn't see shouting 'Hellooo' at me.
More annoying is when I see a Farang also exercising and he won't say good morning. I get to talk English with an Anglophone about once a month.
In the remote mountain, Swiss village I used to live in, people (not all) would get worried and stop their car, bicycle, walk to ask what was wrong if I didn't answer their greetings.
Anyway, the above remarks refer to country people; city people don't count.

Prize money? I get lumps of engraved lumps of wood occasionally, called 'prizes'. (Half marathons and marathons).
International runners: there are different classes of marathons, from bronze to platinum, and I believe that one of the qualifiers for race organisers is that they have a certain number of elite runners from a certain number of countries.
IAAF Road Race Labels - Regulations 8 October 2012 4.2 Races may offer specific incentive place prizes to nationals of the host country to encourage national participation and development.
So they want that "Gold Label" appellation in order to have more competitors, at the same time they realise that (probably) no Thai will be winning. Seems fair enough to me.
What's not fair?
Farangs often have to pay more than the Thais for race entry.
Age groups: Many races have age groups ending at "50+" which is discouraging if you're my age, 76. If there's a "60+" age group I might just get a prize. The whole idea of these athletic endeavours is supposed to be to encourage health, and stuff like this just discourages older runners. I think anybody over 75 that completes a foot race should get a prize!

Many of us would disagree. Weetabix is not good for the digestion, meat is. You have a disease of the digestive tract, sounds like a digestion problem to me. You can completely change the wildlife living in your digestive tract by changing your diet.
