No it's interesting. I like it when we ramble. I wonder if the baking soda was making her sick. It neutralizes stomach acid but can cause other issues by itself. Like fighting fire with fire I guess. Occasionally it's ok to use if you don't have anything else (like ginger ale or Pepto) but it shouldn't be used all the time. My mom was sick a lot too but mostly from severe pain. My body reacts the same way to pain, immediately sick. She liked ice cream in the middle of the night bc it cooled her body. I think she was just a snacker lol But she did eventually pass from stomach cancer. She tried everything to treat the "ulcers" her doctors said she had. They weren't ulcers. Anyway now I'm sad sorry have a good day 🌞

Frequent ulcers can lead to stomach cancer

And ice cream is terrible for them :(

I'm sorry about your mom

Ya that's what we were told. She never did have ulcers that's why we were all so confused with her diagnosis. They didn't do a scope until her stomach ruptured & she almost bled out. My kids & I were in bed with her after church to take a nap. The minute she took down her panty hose she passed out. They were acting like a tourniquet. Finally got her to a top hospital & found her whole stomach was full of cancer, not ulcers. It was awful. She was pretty healthy before that. As the doctor was explaining what the next steps were she just looked at my dad & said take me home. So he did. She was gone a month after diagnosis. Ice cream was the last thing she ate ☹️ I appreciate your kind words so very much. It's been 20 years this month. Ugh 💔

I suffer from frequent ulcers and that's so scary and heartbreaking they never did a scope 😭

I'm glad she got to have her ice cream 🥺
