Lemons
Oranges
Tomatoes
Mint
Garlic
Onion
Pepper
Mustard
Coffee
Chocolate
Fried food
Bloating
Heartburn
Burning Esophagus
Pepcid, once a day
Pepcid complete, twice a day
Repeat, repeat
Until the flames halt rolling up to my tender palate
Adiós, morning coffee
Au revoir, sauté garlic and onions
Arrivederci, spicey tomatoes sauce
Sayonara, shrimp tempura rolls
Farewell, decadent dark chocolate
Food for healing a chemical spill tapestry
Almond Milk
Kefir
Water
Coconut Water
Mushrooms
Zucchini

Bananas
Oatmeal
Bland diet
Toast
Adjust
Gentle balm takes time to sooth.
Promise of renewal and rebirth
Embracing an Alkaline portrait for a symphony of wellness.

I concur with all of this, Daphne, except for "bland diet". It's not so much bland as it is learning to appreciate different flavors & more subtlety.
Wow! This is like a reflective journey of healing the body through dietary changes. The tone shift from a lament over loss of favourite foods to hopeful embrace of a new healing diet was to the point. The transition from the distress caused by acidic foods to the promise of renewal and rebirth through a gentle, healing diet is beautifully captured in the final lines of the poem. Daphsam! You are brilliant. Great work!
Whoaaaa, I love how you managed to convey the message through your poem! Very well done!
Or DGL for a week and then Betaine HCI with meals🧐. Nice story and good info. 😍
What a great list poem for a nutrition class or even an elementary school health lesson. Good work.
