Darn you, Heartburn

Only because I find this particularly amusing...

Below, a list of foods that are consistently giving me heartburn.  I bet you'll find some surprises (hint, nothing spicy is listed!).

1. Chocolate

In any form and under all circumstances, chocolate has been consistently causing raging heartburn.  I came across an article that said 3-4 servings of chocolate per week was really good for a developing baby.  Good enough for me!  I'll suffer for the sake of healthy development....if I HAVE to.

2. Bananas

I don't get it, but it's entirely true.  I'm suffering through though, because A) I like bananas, and B) potassium is good for fighting off the evil leg cramps that have been tormenting my less-than-restful sleep.

3. Pop-tarts

I guess this isn't too surprising since there is absolutely zero nutritional value in pop-tarts.  It's probably my body's way of saying, "hey, knock if off!"  So, I have actually given these up.

4. Tortilla Chips

Weird, huh?  Is it the wholesome corn goodness?  I'm not really sure, again.  At first I thought it might be the salsa causing heartburn, so I gave that up, but the heartburn kept coming with just plain tortillas.  Could it be that my body had conditioned itself to expect salsa with tortillas Pavlov-style?  Possible.  Or, more likely, it wasn't the salsa at all, but rather the tortillas, that were the culprit.

And that, my friends, is the list.  Short and sweet!
