Good luck. I just turned 78. Still can't believe it! I see my Gastroenterologist at the beginning of August, before I go on a cruise in Oct. I want to get dispensation to have a few things, like decaf capuccino. I also read that, while wine is too acidic, vodka & gin are okay, depending on what we add to it. It's a shame to have a drinks package on a cruise and be able to use it just for bottled water! Keep me posted, and I'll do the same.

I can't tolerate most wine, but I do sip Moscato with a flavored seltzer or tonic (about 1/2 & 1/2) I also can enjoy a good Gin & Tonic with lots of lime syrup and a bit of spearmint extract. After all the whole idea of being as healthy as possible is To Live Life! a tip I learned years ago also is to start every morning with a bowl of real oatmeal that has some grated ginger, cinnamon and a few raisins or walnuts. Keeping a "regular" digestion helps with reflux symptoms. Enjoy your cruise!
