Well, after years of happy sea-health, I’m feeling a touch of sea-sickness. It isn’t what I’d expected.
I eat food. Food gets to my duodenum, becomes gorge, and then rises back through my esophagus until it reaches my ears. This causes a) itchy ears b) burping and c) a backward peristaltic process.
I keep eating in the hope my digested food will reach a critical mass. It can’t defy gravity forever. The only way out is down, food, get used to it.
Happily I haven’t done anything but burp. I’m considering going off the coast of Cozumel and drinking some water so things move the right direction.

I consider myself warned, since I too fancy that I’m immune to seasickness.I hope you feel better and have fun fun fun.
It sounds like the time I told my mom that my food made a u turn at my stomach and came back out. Never good. At least eat things that will taste good the second time – just in case.
Montezuma would be proud of your plan…
Hattie – turns out I wasn’t sea-sick. I noticed all the fluid that wasn’t in my lower intestine was in my hands instead, and looked up “Nausea, edema, constipation” and got “dehydration.” Evidently I was hung over, and sweating, and just a few quarts of water straightened me right out.Amy_in_StL – Ew! I did eat a giant t-bone steak, that was good.Mare – Montezuma’s … Laxative?
