I'm going to regret this statement, but I'd rather have something wrong in the heart area than the stomach area.

I can take Tums, which are nice and safe, for indigestion. Heartburn medication has very scary side affects including heartburn!
This made me think of one of my all-time favorite Lost Dogs songs.
Bad Indigestion:
Twinkees were a defense
For a murder binge
The killer had a high sugar count
But now he's on the mend
He sold his soul to the hostess
She turned his brain to mush
The lawyer said "sure, he
Killed 'em judge. It was just
A sugar rush!"
Fat on the bacon
Wool on the lamb
Flies in the ointment
Murder in the ham
Hardened hearts and arteries
Salt block in the Spam
Lord save us all from this
Bad Indigestion
Well, would we do the things we do
If there weren't poison in our blood
Would we hurt our fellow man
While consuming all this crud
Break our vows
Go to war
Put mankind to shame
If a chemical imbalance
Weren't coursing through our veins
Fat on the bacon
Wool on the lamb
Butter on the biscuits
Grease in the pan
Dyes in the candy
Tubas in the band
Lord save us all from this bad indigestion
The god of our benefits is
The great horn O' plenty (Cornucopia)
Moves it's great vegetable hand
Puts a little fruit in all of our baskets
Helps us function better in the can
Montezuma's revenge has
Got us on the run
Double meat velveeta cheese
Between two hot cross buns
Take seltzer and a prune
Pepto Bismal and a Tum
And look into the crap we eat
You'll find a smoking gun

Indigestion, it is a more specific term. Actually experienced it last night. No more Popeyes before bedtime. :-(

I've always liked Pepto-Bismol and it works very well for both aliments (just as the commercial says), but in caplet form (like the kind I have in my dorm room) doesn't really work on heartburn.

I've never really had bad heart burn. Went with indigestion, not sure why.
I kind of think it is funny that I'm eating Hardees as I type this.

I plan on going to see Where the Wild Things Are here in a little while. Anyone else planning on seeing it? I can't wait, I've been so pumped.
Also, I'd just like to say that I've been listening to 'The Sea is a Good Place to Think of the Future' by Los Campesinos! over and over. The band is really quite fantastic. The guys voice is sort of odd, but I love it.
The song doesn't relate to the topic, sorry, but I thought I'd share it anyway. The girl is my favorite female singer, maybe just my favorite singer.

i get heartburn really bad. a few times i've woken up in the middle of the night with stomach acid in my lungs. one of the scariest things to have happen. you can't breathe and you can feel your lungs burning.
so of course i went with indigestion.

Did I know that you are a Lost Dogs fan, michchick? We love the Lost Dogs. And Daniel Amos, and the 77s to boot. Cool!
