tums please


so i have been having heartburn after every freakin meal. it is getting irritating. i eat tums like candy. i was talking to kara about it and she said that it might be all the spicy food we've been eating, hot sauce, chilli peppers, cajun seasoning and such. so i did a bit o research on the subject of spicy foods. i found the cause of my heart burn. chocolate. what the heck? we bought a bag of chocolate for our christmas candy dish and i eat at it a bit here and there. the article i read said that chocolate can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, the muscle between the esophagus and stomach, and cause heartburn. geez. who would've thought that a hershey's kiss could burn more than a jalepeno pepper.
