Good ol Nexium, it has been a life-saver for me. I suffered acid-reflex all my life, but never knew what it was until I was hospitalized three times in one month back in 2008. I lost like 30 lbs that month cause I couldn't digest any food (constant vomiting)

Am a little worried to go to Afg/Pak I have a weak digestive system and cannot eat foods that are not chicken.

I feel sorry for you. I just got it this year when i came back from my visit. It was soooooooo painful. I remember when i finally told my dad, he got mad that i didnt tell him from all that time lol.

My honest advice, do not eat dinner there, you will end up doing yourself no good.

If you are really hungry, skip meat after like 6pm. Eat banjan, bamya, light chalaw, etc. no meat.

If anything, stay away from goat and sheep meat.

Take your Nexium with you. Also, i know this sounds funny.....but you might thank me later. Take powdered gatorade with you. Dont ask why, just do it.

Not an idiot, the heart attack feeling is probably due to trapped air accumalating. Try eating more friendly bacteria like those yogurts. Try kombutchu type drinks which have friendly bacteria good for digestive system apparently.

Next time if you have that heart attack feeling due to this, tell some one to rub your back and massage it whilst your sitting. It can help get rid of trapped air.

Just realized people are obsessed with being white lol what frauds after all the comments i got on here lol what big joke.

I know that Gatorade keeps you hydrated when you are suffering from diarrhea/vomiting, but Gatorade also raises my acid

I only drink water, and milk it seems every other drink raises my acid

I am really tempted to eat those kabobs they sell on the streets of Peshawer, my family always tells me how good it is. Have you tried those?

Well i dont know if Gatorade makes the acid worse. But since you are going in the summer, Peshawar and Kabul will be hot. And just water and juice/soda will not help. But Gatorade will help to keep you hydrated.

Yeah the more sugar or carbonate drinks will just make it worse.

Yummmmm kababs from the street are delicious

It wont hurt to try it once, i did. Just make sure to stand with the guy, and let him know to cook it all the way, and to salt it before he cooks it. He will understand. Do take meds for upset stomach anyways. Even if you dont need it, just take it every night, just in case. Because eating anything simple as bread can also get you sick. In Kabul, the food is laid out, so the bread is exposed to the environment. It may look clean, but it may not actually be.

You will enjoy the villages outside of the city.

Btw, what district is your mother from? My fiance's village is outside of City as well......kinda towards the north.

You will have a glimpse of kuchis walking here and there. My goodness, i would be a liar if i didnt say how beautiful they are.....pure kilwali type.

Just be careful though. Do not look into any woman's eye. If one passes by, stop and move to the side, put your right hand on your heart, and say Salam, and let her pass by.

nope lol see thats what i thought too, so much for being called pasty when they want to be pasty them selves lol

[Laila]

Mom is from Khodamon, they also refer it as Shamoli (not northern Afg)

LOL same with my fiance's family. They are also called as Shamalis.

I have heard of Kuchi women being pretty, my bro-in-law always jokes about finding me one. Even though they don't give their women.

Pretty is not even a word for them.....gorgeous i must say. They are very nice folks though, very sweet. But they love their lifestyle, so being connected to city folks is not really their thing.

I always tell me dad, i am giving up my dream of becoming a doctor, i am going to settle in Laghman and become a kuchi girl All i need is a sheenkhaley and i am good to go

[khashayar]

Lol I've never wanted to be pasty. I love when my skin gets tanned. Like real tan. I look hot. Hahahah. Just we dont get sun here often.

Poor you looking like a lobster.

There's always fake spray on tans.
