This is in response to Cwille. I, too ended up in the hospital again with pneumonia and a terrible asthma attack which the doctors attributed to swallowing fluid into the lungs. They said that because I have GERD, I cannot eat past 6;00 at night. I had eaten a spicy meal in the evening (couldn't be helped that night), and in the middle of the night I woke up gasping because I had swallowed the bile that came up into my throat that night, and some of it ended up going into my lungs because I was gasping so hard. Not a fun time. Another whole week in the hospital. I learned a hard lesson that week. I will not eat late, and it certainly won't be a spicy meal. God BlessView Thread
