    that could be as well - not for sure - but I'm your your 35 pound weightloss has helped your heartburn as well!

    Mary, you gave it a good try! Fair enough.

    Olives and onions? NAAAH....maybe a FEW onions grilled with a steak, or disguised as onion rings...

    They don't agree with my tummy, unfortunately...

    I like to eat fruit in their natural state w/out a lot of sugar. I try not to eat sugar at all but I do confess to having an Oreo addiction. I love onions and olives, though not black olives. Green olives stuffed w/jalapeno peppers, now that's good eatin'!
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I'm with Medusa... grapefruit is vile. And Phred, my grandmother used to eat it with a grapefruit spoon - serrated at the tip, just like the photo in your post. I'm not a fan of citrus fruit in general. I'd rather have a mango, thanks.

    Only one person mentioned medication interactions so I thought I'd bring it back up (I'm a nurse). Here is a pretty detailed list.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Not bring it back up, at least not in that context! I thought I'd mention it again.

    Cassie's mom - Glad you did bring it back up, I must have missed the first post on interactions. I checked the list of meds for interactions and there were four that I'm taking. I guess the much loved grapefruit will have to be put on the shelf till I see the doc.....waaahhhh.
