Eating makes me feel better!!

[Rick]

Chewing gum, tart candies, etc. Yup.

I smile every time I see the subject line of this thread. Eating makes me feel better too. So does drinking

I've learned to drink very slowly but continuously through a straw when reading. Works miracles except that it will make me bloat

I find it interesting that I, as for several of you in this thread, also had seer stomach issues as a kid (essentially too much stomach acid). Don't know if there's a connection."


Don't know how true it is but I've read that chewing gum stimulates the salivary glands which in turn tell your stomach that food is coming so start the hydrochloric acid pump. That can irritate your empty stomach.
