Title: Hiatus Hernia.
Post by: Eoin on May 27, 2013, 11:12:58 AM
Some of you may have noticed that I've not been as active with the actual brewing and stuff in the last year or two, well the reason was that I was drinking very little.

I had some weird symptoms after a session, pain in the chest, in the left arm, all sorts of scary stuff which had me worried.

Well the worry is over I was diagnosed with a hiatus hernia in the Hermitage clinic on Saturday.

The big ones are all counted out now and I'm a lot happier and am happy to go back to drinking my homebrew, possibly a lot more moderately than in the past though.

Coming shortly....brew on.

Missus johnrm has one of them.
Little and often on the food.
Avoid heavy sauces and foods.
She still gets in the odd beer ;-)

Avoid anything with aspartame religiously ( and I mean religiously )

Don't be afraid to get in shape and lose a little bit of the beer belly if you have one ( it helps as clothes become loser fitting )

Aspartame is the devil, I already avoid any sweeteners except stevia as I can't stomach the chemical shite.

I have been looking after myself and cycle to work daily, but since the baby was born I've not been out jogging or doing as much physical excercise.
