Heartburn

I felt it was noteworthy that even as prednisone has begun to conquer the intestinal turbulence, the inevitable heartburn reigns again.  Having come to expect and even celebrate its arrival as one might welcome the Inquisition, I made it a point this evening to make my guest feel at home in the aberrancy of my esophagus.

After a month of broth and starches, the assault of fiber and protein on my esophageal epithelials has, once again,  won out over denial.  Come chamomile; come Tums; come egg, avocado and sweet potato.
