• They/Them

A real "we've got a nephew" of graphic design and illustration, mental illness held at bay by a very nice vegetable garden and cats.

Lapsed printmaker, you should ask me about it and I'll be very weird

So I'm not exactly sure what happened on the 30th, but my body decided develop some incredible digestion/acid problems overnight. Spicy food, alcohol, and coffee cause excruciating chest pain, to the point I had to talk it out with a friend to make sure I wasn't having a heart attack (thanks American healthcare system!).

Ate a slice of bread with Swiss and it caused nausea. A half plate stroganoff tonight caused extreme discomfort and nausea, but at least not a ton of pain. The only thing that has sat well is rice. My best guess is GERD, as that runs in the family, but it's wild how this switch happened overnight.

I'm unsure how long it'll take to see a doctor about this, but until then I better make peace with rice. And find a protein and vegetables that I can stomach without wanting to die.

oof, as a person who has had a weak digestive system my whole life (and celiac), I really feel for you, sometimes food stops being okay because bodies are awful. I recommend getting a rice cooker if you're gonna be switching to a mostly rice-based diet, it's a huge time and energy saver.
