I had heartburn so I decided to eat the greasiest chicken sandwich ever at 3 am.

I know a Waffle House plate when I see it.

green_speak@reddit

I drive by a WaHo nearly every day. What's good there?

[-]

Their Texas patty melt is pretty fire. Basically the sandwich in the OP but a burger instead of chicken. Also they've got a ton of stuff you can add to their hash browns. I like them well-done, scattered, smothered, covered, peppered and capped (cooked crispy with onions, cheese, jalapeños and mushrooms).

Crazyforgers@reddit

Hear me out. Grilled cheese but on raisin bread. It's a 10/10 but people think I'm crazy.

[-]

sarcastic_sybarite83@reddit

Makes sense to me if it's cinnamon raisin. I've been told that at least Chinese cooking uses cinnamon as a savory spice. So cheese should go with it well.

I like to fry an egg with some chili, cumin, black pepper. Throw that on top of a freshly toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with some melted cheese.

[-]

Crazyforgers@reddit

It is cinnamon raisin. It's such a good combination.

I work at Waffle House and the first thing I thought was “damn I want a Texas bacon chicken melt now”

The cup don’t lie either, I’m thinking he got Hi-C or a coke with Cherry

Came here to say this

PuffedRabbit@reddit

For heartburn I've many times used a teaspoon of baking soda in a small shot glass of water.

I don't necessarily recommend it tho, because you are creating a mini volcano inside you and the results can be... explosive. But it certainly neutralises the excess acid

[-]

anon_lurk@reddit

Unless it's due to low acid. I usually take a shot of vinegar and then rinse with baking soda in water, plus a small swallow to cleanse the pipes.

[-]

OrmondDawn@reddit

And that helped to intensify the heartburn?

[-]

ConsistentCover2527@reddit (OP)

Yes it's much worse now.

[-]

hotfistdotcom@reddit

so I had heartburn almost 24/7 for years, doc kept telling me to keep taking omneprazole but it only helped a bit, still had heartburn daily for hours, I would stop eating at 4pm to hopefully not get heartburn at night. Finally saw a new doc who actually took more than 2 minutes to talk to me about things and she asked when I take it - at night. Said to take it with my first meal, in the morning and to add famotidine to it - instantly stopped having heartburn, after nearly 20 years of daily heartburn.

Probably going to die of esophageal cancer but man is it nice to eat pizza and curry sometimes again and have dinner at 7 with normal humans, just wanted to share, I now assume everyone who mentions heartburn has it chronically lol

[-]

ThEnclaveStrikesBack@reddit

Did they ever find a root cause or just disposed to really bad heartburn? I ask because I might be in the same boat, I'm about 10 years in of daily heartburn and nausea. I actually wake up in the morning and more than half the time I throw up remnants of what I ate the night before. I've pushed back the latest I'll eat to 7 or 8pm and I'll still wake up over 8 hours later throwing up the food I ate the night before. Omeprazole does jack all, Pepsid helped a bit but it's always on a knifes edge. It's gotten to the point where the constant vomiting has caused me to develop some asthma symptoms because the windpipe is next to esophagus and the inflammation causes it to be harder to breathe 🫠

[-]

hotfistdotcom@reddit

No, they just called it GERD and that was that. I also had chronic nausea and occasional regurgitation, at one point a doc wanted to yank my gallbladder as a place to start - no evidence of gallstones, infection, swelling or any pathology, 30% chance of chronic nausea after removal, but a place to start. folks who get Ds in school have to go somewhere.

[-]

ThEnclaveStrikesBack@reddit

GERD yup that's exactly what they said I have. They're going to shove a tube down my throat in a few weeks to look at the stomach and hopefully come up with a plan that works a little better than "just deal with it" 😅

[-]

gsfgf@reddit

Also, prescription strength omneprazole is just double the OTC dose. That being said, it's a lot cheaper if you get a prescription.

[-]

hotfistdotcom@reddit

Mine is OTC strength! but yeah, it's much cheaper. I think you can also get a half strength one. There was a study a while back that very long term usage of omneprazole can cause kidney damage. But it was either higher risk of barrettes esophagus or kidney damage, and I picked the horse that hurts less on the ride. If only that doc had wanted to actually talk to me. But hey, super happy it's better now! Feel like I leapt from my late 30s right into my 20s.

[-]

Satanicjamnik@reddit

Is that the first time you had a heartburn? What was the thinking process behind this move?

[-]

cramp@reddit

I’m guessing “Fuck it.”

[-]

Satanicjamnik@reddit

" How can I make it worse real quick" and they didn't find any vodka or hot sauce in the cupboard.

[-]

Julian_Sark@reddit

You know it's not like a computer counter that eventually flips from "all full" to "totally empty" when you overdo it, right?

[-]

Wisniaksiadz@reddit

I dont understand that,

You had too much acid in stomach, so you added more food to counter it, and now the body is like ,,you know what? that would be perfect solution, sadly ill now add even more acid"

[-]

Twig@reddit

Well now that basic level heartburn won't bother you so much next time.

Its a desensitizing technique.

I would love to die from eating a heartburning sandwich.

This is the dumbest thing I've seen, and I hate that I've done this exact same thing.

[-]

Woodwhat74@reddit

Should’ve added tomato for the citric acid… intensified it.

[-]

Boogy-Fever@reddit

Just chug some lemon juice and snort some citric acid powder or fine crystals

[-]

RapNVideoGames@reddit

I could feel the burn in the belch from this comment lol

Mmmmm, that bitter tasting burn when you burp up stomach acid. Love that.

cacklz@reddit

Should’ve used a hose. Or omeprazole.

[-]

Ididntwipe@reddit

Omeprazole my beloved 🧎‍♀️‍➡️ I am having pretty bad gastritis atm, I feel ur pain man. I want to eat something other than water with oats and bananas, or mashed potatoes with no butter or milk. Life is cruel.

[-]

MealPlanHelper@reddit

Very smart. I am the same way. If I have a problem, I set my alarm for 3 am. Get up and try to exacerbate the problem and then I go back to sleep.

[-]

saifsquatch@reddit

I’ll recognize a bacon chicken melt from Waffle House any day of the week

[-]

pedro0yea@reddit

Here in Europe we don't even fuckin' have words for heartburn. Instead we just simply don't eat ourself into a heartattack.

[-]

danabrey@reddit

We literally call it heartburn in the UK.

[-]

GreatEscaped@reddit

It's azia in Portuguese with a number of Portuguese pharmacies selling heartburn medication online. I didn't bother looking up any others because you're clearly an idiot.
