I backed off hot foods when my gut could not handle it. Heartburn was the biggest problem. I fought through many bouts of that and finally threw in the towel, I am a wimp now for hot foods.
I just returned from the dentists office. Right after I moved to OKC in 1978 I started to look for new doctors and dentists. The dentist I picked was a couple of blocks from my garage apartment. He had just started business and only had a few patients. In all those years when I went I always parked at the far corner of his parking lot to avoid door dings. Today driving the borrowed work truck I parked at the front door of the place.
Beside doing the routine teeth cleaning the dentist removed two tonsilloliths from my tonsils. They were small but felt like a growth on my tonsils and were just annoying. Glad they are gone. I get them about once every few years. I knew I had one, I could not see the other one. I always figured it was just a piece of food caught in the folds of my tonsils. I usually could pop them out with my toothbrush. These were stubborn. He got them easily.
