| To: Vocalist <vocalist> From: Naomi Gurt Lind Subject: MED: reflux & calculated risks Send reply to: VOCALIST <vocalist>
I'd appreciate feedback, especially from the MDs on this list. I have an ongoing reflux situation and have been using Prilosec once a day for several months. In addition, I avoid caffeine (including chocolate...boo hoo!), citrus, alcohol, tomatoes, spicy foods, eating late, etc. I live a very reflux-aware lifestyle, and it works pretty well most of the time. My voice is generally very healthy.
Over the next few weeks, I have no singing gigs and was wondering what would happen if I gave into the very strong chocolate craving (in moderation of course) -- is there potential permanent damage to be caused by taking reflux risks, or will it just mean that I have to lay off the singing for a few days while I indulge?
Thanks in advance for your help.
