#SoCS – Heartburn, a poem

by 16 Comments

My heartburn is horrendous

Stomach to lips

Hurting me

Ouch.

I don’t know what causes it … stress, maybe? But it’ll go away, sometimes for a few days and then it’s back with a vengeance. And I don’t think I eat anything different on those days. Maybe I do the day before, though, and it’s a delayed reaction. Is that a thing with heartburn?

Probably the stress.

    I hope you are feeling better, Linda! Not the nice kind of ‘fire in your belly’ for sure! 💞

    One thing we noticed is changes to the way things we’ve always eaten have changed somehow. I’ve had snacks that I’ve eaten for years that I can no longer eat.

    I’m so sorry Linda. The primary cause is usually the stress, secondary is food.
