    Ow. What the hey!

    Tired of cooking & being alone all week with bronchitis, so ordered to-go a plain hamburger & fries, vanilla milkshake from the restaurant next door. Now in a very unpleasant flare, burning frequency etc. It happened the last time I ordered there too, but I wasn't sure because I've eaten there without problems for years, but they must have changed something. Ouch. I hate IC. Going to go drink some baking soda & take 2 TUMS.

    Isn't that a bummer? Something you think is "safe" changing on you. So sorry, I hope you feel better soon, Kadi.

        It's a real bummer! Maybe they changed brands of ice cream? put in the milkshake?
