Food Log: More Stomach Trouble

Not sure why these foods would cause me to belch and feel nauseous but if they are purported to be good for you, they generally make me feel bad.

Another common denominator is the absence of high levels of salt:

Black coffee

Honeycrisp apple

10 oz. turkey, some celery.

That's what caused hours of misery. Took a few antacids, no relief. Eventually bought some crystallized ginger and ate that. Felt better so I ate 1.5 breaded pork chops and two large helpings of mashed potatoes. Once again, I felt a deep craving for purported unhealthy food to make me feel better. It made me feel better instantly.

Further reflections on the digestive merits of salt. Usually after lunch I eat a couple of ounces of whole sunflower seeds. They are super salty. I was out of sunflower seeds today (as well as pretzels) and the absence of regularly-consumed NaCl seems to have an adverse effect on my well being.

I ate a serving of Chicken Obrie with angel hair and an ounce of gin before bedtime.
