Mark Twain once said "Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough." I tend to think that a little can go a long way, and most times I don't want to go that far, so all things in moderation.

Thought of this thread today. I've been a bit quiet on here lately, as I've had a load of tests done - had a sore throat that comes and goes for about 18 months now.. All clear today thank goodness! Gastric Reflux disease that is causing inflammation in my vocal cords due to acid. So, nothing sinister...I'm on Omeprazole for the foreseeable but one relieved chap! Ironically, what better way to celebrate than with a cigar! Shall be picking something special out this evening...

Great to hear youre all good Sludgie, I saw my Mother smoke heavily and that put me off, ive never smoked a cigarette.
Most of these oral cases are from people who chain smoke . I know harsh spirits are not good for the throat.
But the occasional Cigar helps you relax.
I wouldn't smoke whist I was stressed that would be a waste .
We are all susceptible to colds not through smoking more likely when we are stressed or stuck on the damn London Underground...Comment

I'm on exactly the same thing and have been for a couple of months. Hm.Originally posted by Sludgie View PostComment

I used to be on that when I was on steroids; it counter balanced the excess stomach acid the steroids would produce.
Hope all goes well budSilentBob is quiet no more, name change to VocalBob?

Well, funny how this thread has come back up. I too take Omeprazole/Lansoprazole and sometimes Ranitidine for acid reflux and gastric problems.
After being ill on and off for quite a while now (Apparently not uncommon this winter.) and finally feeling good the other day I had a PL Montecarlos to ease me back in on the weekend. Well the very next morning I was feeling crap again, full of congestion and a mean head cold.... It's too much of a coincidence now for me. I can feel a physical difference after I have had a cigar, like i'm not firing on all cylinders. It has me wondering if I have become slightly intolerant to nicotine. Even if i'm not I have a duty to my kids to be at my physical and mental peak.
On that basis i'm going to just stop short of giving up, I have decided to only smoke on special occasions for the foreseeable future and to address my lifestyle as a whole to improve my overall wellbeing. It's been an interesting journey and I feel like I have reached some sort of fork in the road and it feels like it's my time to sit on the bench at that fork and watch the world go by for a bit. Thanks for all the help over my tenure here guys.

I too used to take the odd Omeprazole but was a regular Zantac and Rennies taker. I am over weight by a few stone (literally gained in the past 2 years) and have been pretty inactive and made bad lifestyle choices over the past 2 years, I've started gymming again and making the 'smart choices' when it comes to food, not drastic but swapping chips for baked sweet potato and if making anything creamy, switching for low for creme fraiche. I also Gym 3-4 times a week (only about 20min cardio and the rest weights) and from someone who had it on a regular basis, I've had it twice since christmas, once when I had a scotch pie from greggs yesterday in glasgow because I was on the move and previously when I had some chocolate and coke late at night. The difference is amazing how much a bit of activity and a few changes to diet are having on my stomach! (also my chronic lower back pain from an injury is almost non existent because my muscles are stronger, I didnt think over exercising it would help but it does)Originally posted by ValeTudoGuy View Post
I've also lost a stone since christmas.
Some diet related things that cause me problems are:
Cucumber - don't really like it but used to eat it as a matter of course when the missus made a salad
Chocolate - late at night generally when you lie flatter [MENTION=13402683]MarkLondon[/MENTION] will understand with the hiatus hernia, my old man has one too
full fat coke - again, same as above
Pastry
Margeritas - well, any excess citrus fruit juice, its just the one way I prefer it!
