Gaviscon and Moby Dick

We love Moby Dick. Not the whale - the persian kabob place we have been going to since we moved to Capitol Hill several years ago. When we moved to northern Virginia a while back we were really happy to know there was a restaurant about a block or two away. Where we always had to drive to Virginia for pick up, now we drive a block. So convenient! My husband has been having upper GI issues lately that necessitate taking a prescription Med, gaviscon tablets or liquid, Gas X pills, and a big change in diet and meal frequency. It so happened that we went to Moby Dick on Friday for our usual fare that includes a barley soup. By Sunday he was in the mood to have more barley soup. So we first went to the pharmacy to pick up more gaviscon and gas X, then went back to Moby Dick for two more servings of soup that also come with flat bread. It’s been an adjustment to eat a few small meals per day rather than our usual two. And giving up caffeine, sugar, cookies, chocolate and tomatoes is terrible. Hopefully things will begin to resolve and perhaps small amounts of some things may not be all bad. When we mention the situation to people we know most of them have the same condition - we just never knew. The next item to consider purchasing is a wedge to put on the bed to keep his head raised at night. We’ll just take things one day at a time. But if we liked Moby Dick before,  we like it even more now.
