Why do we want to eat something that will upset us!

I have not had any fish and chips for a while as it usually means I can still taste them for hours, have heartburn, I feel bloated, and have a lot of discomfort afterwards.
So why today did I get some for lunch on way home from shops and now sit here feeling rotten?
Why do we make ourselves feel bad?
I have even been out for a good walk with my dog to try and relieve the discomfort. This works sometimes but not today.
Gaviscon has not helped either today.
My fault that I feel like this really.

I have not had any surgery, I just have omeprazole twice a day and gaviscon when needed. Have hiatus hernia and acid and bile reflux. Nausea. Etc.
Should know better?

I dont have a problem with chocolate strangely enough! It actually helps to settle my stomach. The problem with chocolate is though is that I have Diabetes Type 2 but just on diet no medication. So as chocolate does seem to settle the GERD/gastritis I should not really be eating it but have been doing lately and my annual blood test is due! You cannot win with any of these probslems can you.

Have only been taking once a day but following endoscopy last week found repeat prescription had increase of them. However, what is weird is that GP has not had result of endoscopy and have not yet heard whether I am to see consultant again!

So have only just started two a day as from yesterday. Not done much for me today though.

For me, frozen custard is the demon.  Even though I know I may reflux when I eat frozen custard, I love it and always think that just maybe it won't bother me.

LOL.  Our mind loves to trick us.
