Question:

 Now I find this earlier post where you talk about prednisone and vinegar.  You don’ seem to have a clue.  <snip

 Jack, Sorry I wasn’t clear, but my stomach ache started 2 weeks before I went on Prednisone.  I have been using Prevacid for a week and I can feel the difference. I have given up the vinegar and I have only one cup of coffee a day.   thanks for the info on the goats milk. DMG

Overuse of vinegar, which is cheap,  is usually why deli salads aren’t fit to eat)    And prednisone?  Oh my dear lady!  The only medicine I can dream of worse for the stomach would be fresh peyote buttons washed down with cappuccino.

Which the La Apoteka do they stock this medicine? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –     My solution for pred and other strong foods and drugs is goatmilk which is about twenty-eight percent fat and really protects me.  If you can’t get goatmilk Horizon Organic whole (cow) milk is even higher in fat and should do it. This is my central statement in this post.  It is not an assertion because it is my experience, anecdotal and true.     Your poor dear stomach can take a lot of abuse. necessary or otherwise,  if you feed it the right things.  I’m sure that’s why you use salad to begin with.—jack

My original lung problem was caused by an exposure to bromine with a very strong reaction to any lab, especially acetic acid, chemicals.  I am trying to stay bland and away from any other acids.  It is just not working at the moment. Thanks for responding Donna – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I guess you mean acetic acid, not acidic acid.  I might suggest you talk to your doctor about the possibilty that you suffer from acid reflux.

Gastrointestinal reflux is a known trigger of asthma, laryngeal spasm, etc.  If you have a chronic stomach ache, then reflux is a real possibility.  Consuming acidic foods (vinegar, orange juice, etc.) can bring on the same symptoms that aspirating stomach acid will bring on. You should see your physician.  If he diagnoses reflux, then he can prescribe anti-acid medication (Prilosec, Prevacid). — Steven D.
