A sign of getting older?

I must be getting old, I can no longer eat pizza without taking an antacid. I never had to do this when I was younger. If I forget, I wake up in the middle of the night with heartburn like crazy. It must be the sauce or something because I don't get any crazy toppings - just some cheese and maybe some shrooms or olives. Does anyone else have this problem? It seems to just be pizza and tacos for now.

Yes, I get the same problem, not only with pizza, but food like noodles and untoasted bread.

Hmmm. I always figured it was the cheese, as cheese gives me me indigestion and/or heartburn. But, it could be the acid in the sauce, or the spices used in the sauce. I find there are a lot of things that give me indigestion that never bothered me before. You tell me how lettuce can give a person indigestion.*L*

Cheese, yeah it could be that too! Lettuce - ha ha, there is nothing to it right? Thanks for making me smile tonight :)

Right, lettuce is just water, but some days it gives me indigestion. *L*
