Sometimes all it takes is someone else’s offhanded comment to change how you see things.
I was listening to a podcast hosted by our own head honcho, JJ Zachariason, where he mentioned that he can’t drink coffee anymore because of what it does to his system. I have experienced similar issues from drinking coffee, and while JJ has talked about this before I never associated the two things for myself. On this particular episode I was listening to, however, he mentioned that he also got a particular kind of acid reflux that I myself experience constantly, and all of a sudden it clicked.
