The acid reflux from Portuguese sausage UNAPPRECIATION thread

I barbecued some P-sausage today, as part of my dinner. I HATE it when, a few hours later, you burp and some of that sausage comes back up.

You get reflux often, ML? If it's just once in a while, the over-the-counter stuff is good these days; but if you've gotten it a lot, you could have some esophogeal damage - which can lead to an increased risk of cancer.

If just an occasional thing, try using o-t-c Prilosec; if it's been long-term, get yourself an upper endoscopy & start regular treatment. I had bad reflux for about seven years before I got it under control - made quite a difference.

Is it true that it tastes like Horlicks?

I don't know what a Horlick is...but it does taste like a creamy vanilla based candy...melts in your mouth. You know those dip a sticks??

The Creme ones taste like that before you dip it!

Horlicks is/was a malt candy in a large tablet form. We'd pretend it was "medicine" whenever we played "doctor" as it was packaged in a bottle.

Guess I didn't play "doctor" enough when I was a kid!
I found them online but have never seen them before.
