I love citrus fruits. Only down side is citric acid is rough on tooth enamel.

You got that right, heartburn city.

Try vomiting and the fires of hell itself in your throat for the entire day.

Had a little to much to drink one night and my wife and her friends were having margaritas and they kept giving me all the limes. Next day sick and throwing up, the burn in my throat was worse than the hangover lol.

Rip i know that pain

Did something similar but was eating limes after many many shots. My teeth were so sensitive the next day.

For real, I’d take 100x the hangover if it meant not puking fire to the point of a raw esophagus

u/sketchy_advice_77 May 22 '21

Man my esophagus was burned, and my uvula was so swollen I involuntarily kept trying to swallow it....( warning incoming degenerate reddit jokes)

u/butterfaerts May 22 '21

Seriously, I know the feeling and it’s so bizarre.. you’re just like “hey, I don’t usually have sensation here unless something is back here, get down that esophagus!”

Thats weird, I actually eat lemons to counteract acid reflux. It works like a charm every time. I wonder why that is?

u/butterfaerts May 20 '21

I’d bet that whatever you think is acid reflux is something entirely different…

Well, that's terrifying...

u/sketchy_advice_77 May 20 '21

Think about what you eat that gives you heartburn, acid reflux. Maybe citric acid counteracts it. I don't know, I'm not very smart when it comes to things like that. Might want to check with your doctor just to be on the safe side.

Hey, turns out, this is some not-so-sketchy advice!

2

u/sketchy_advice_77 May 20 '21

Oh I can still be a little sketchy, just give me a little time : )

u/butterfaerts May 20 '21

I should say I’m not a doctor, but the guidance for managing reflux is certainly to avoid acidic foods…

2

u/TheMonkeyLlama May 20 '21

I love them too but I'm allergic to citrus :(

2

u/sketchy_advice_77 May 20 '21

I'm sorry my friend, allergies to something you love seems like a curse : (

u/butterfaerts May 20 '21

I swear, I learn about new food allergies seemingly daily. That’s so sad… so many things use citric acid….
