Did you try cutting out 'enriched' flour? That seems to be a major trigger of heartburn for me and I do a lot better without it.

Genuinely curious, what is it usually "enriched" with?

Vitamin B1,2,3,6,12, Iron, Zinc Oxide, A, Folic Acid, D3 etc, but I don't know if it's a function of what they add, remove or simply other ingredients that usually accompany enriched flour, like preservatives.

Raw or whole foods are a few orders of magnitude more gentle on my stomach than foods that are engineered to be shelf stable for months at room temp in the pantry.

> preservatives.

A whole other chapter of filth, those.-

We are, mostly, unwittingly poisoning ourselves for the purposes of keeping a given food-industrial supply chain going.-

Thought you were going to say "kettle" of filth there for a second

Which also works, I guess

intresting. we mainly eat rice but i do eat bread once a week. I will try to cut it out .
