Topic: Does anyone else get heartburn from bread or starchy foods?

Metæ started this discussion 10 years ago #48,824

I've noticed this my whole life. Acidic foods like hot sauce, citrus fruits, coffee, jalapenos, never cause me heart burn but if I eat bread or potatoes I will get heartburn.

Is anyone else like this?

You probably eat too much of it. You're American, right? Cut back on the starch and eat more veg

Sometimes it's like my body can't digest all the food I eat and I'll have to vomit it out. I've had this problem for years where I'll have to randomly puke, but finally I did a little research earlier and discovered something called gastroparesis. Usually, I vomit out the actual food first, and then comes out the stomach acid and shit. I don't get heartburn, nor do I have any acid reflux. I bring this up as it's kind of on a related note, but also because as it says on this site, "Symptoms may be aggravated by eating greasy or rich foods, large quantities of foods with fiber—such as raw fruits and vegetables—or drinking beverages high in fat or carbonation." Perhaps your problem arises from some condition similar to this. I'm not going to self-diagnose myself with this problem, but there are several symptoms that could make this plausible.

No, it's quantity-independent. If I have an empty stomach and eat two slices of toast I'll get heartburn. If I eat six strips of bacon, three fried eggs (covered in tabasco) and a grapefruit I will not.

I can eat food dripping with grease and be fine unless bread or other starches is involved. It's not a gluten thing because I notice it happens with potatoes too.
