Gross.

When you put it like that, it sounds like perfection.

Damn straight, I rarely get fast food but that sounds so tempting.

 

[Insomniator]

I don't really like the original baconator but the spicy one is awesome.. i eat jalapano's out of the jar though so i may be biased.

However as far as gross fast food bacon burgers go.. the double stacker from bk is king.

psa:

Don't eat the baconator.

 

[spacejamz]

which is better, a baconator or an ultimate cheeseburger from Jack in the Box??? (with 2 spicy taco for $0.99 as an appetizer)???

 

[BurnItDwn]

Damn I am hungry. Maybe I will stop at Wendy's on my way home. I could go for some chili, double stacks, and maybe a chicken sammich or two

Studies have shown that the spice in spicy foods does NOT lead to heartburn. Something else gave you heartburn. Maybe it was the beef or the bacon, or some other cause.

However, the hot capsaicin chemical does make heartburn far worse if something else gives you heartburn. Not only is the acid eating at you, but now the injured area has the hot capsaicin chemical irritating it further. No matter how much antacid you take, it won't wash away the capsaicin once it is there. You can try milk-based products as that tends to help wash away the chemical.

Lots of people mistakenly think spicy food gives the heartburn. What often happens is that they have nightly mild heartburn. So mild that the acid doesn't pain them. But when they have a spicy dish, then they can feel the pain. Spicy foods get a bad rap that they don't deserve. Fix the underlying heartburn problem and spicy foods won't ever be an issue.

That's interesting to hear. I have chronic acid reflux and LOVE teh spicy foods. I have a list of things to avoid from my doctor:

alcohol
tobacco
tomato-based products
chocolate
peppermint
fat / grease
coffee
spicy foods

Needless to say, with a list like that I'm popping zantac 150's all day long. I do make somewhat of an effort to avoid excess eating, fat, etc., but the rest of it just isn't gonna happen. At least I can stop feeling so guilty about the spicy.

That said, I wouldn't eat something with the name 'baconator'.

If you have chronic reflux...i'd recommend Prilosec. I take that, and never ever get heartburn/acid reflux. I used to take pepcid then zantac...but i was taking two or three a day...usually every 8 hours or so. Now i take a pill a day, prilosec, and never have issues.

Thats a lot of calories to eat right before you hit the sack.

I liked Prilosec, and actually had a prescription for Prevacid recently (which rocked). I switched jobs though and there was some confusion with the new insurance wanting me to try something generic and blah blah and I am too lazy to figure it all out. Hence... Zantac 150. I need to get on that..

i'm happy to give a first hand report of how the burger return to "the blue lagoon".... it burns on the way out.

not a fair compairson, I LOVE Ultimate Cheeseburgers, but to be fair I'd say get a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger for teh win. Jack N The Box is quality, and thanks for bringing them up. I remember now I have a coupon for buy one get one free on the new Grilled Sourdough Steak Melt. UMMMMM!

Ultimate is good, but the Big Cheesburger seems to be a better deal, it's basically a Ultimate Cheeseburger with 1 patty instead of 2. They run from 99 cent to $1.29 depending on the Jack, you can upgrade it to Grilled Sourdough for 30 cents. 2 of those and 2 tacos = TEH WINS!

You can get prilosec over the counter...

I have a condition called Barrett's esophagitus, and I've been medicating it for almost 20 years. I started out on Tagamet when the Rolaids stopped doing anything, then moved to Zantac. I've taken all the proton pump inhibitors and other types of drugs - including the ill-fated Propulsid. Prevacid works best for me. Prilosec is OK but not as good - with Prevacid I have no breakthrough no matter what I eat.

I thought the Prilosec was OK also, and in the 2 months or so I was on prevacid I only had to supplement with zantac two or three times. Is Barrett's one of those where your esophagus doesn't seal off properly into your stomach? I've heard that there's a condition where you esophagus actually extends into your stomach too, and that can require surgery. I don't know what I have, but have been medicating it for 8 years now. Maybe typing about it will motivate me to call my doctor again and see what hoops I have to jump through.

Barrett's at wiki. I considered surgery but was warned that it has serious side effects: you can no longer burp. As long as I take the meds, I wouldn't know I even have it, but there's no possibility of managing it with diet or living without the meds. You might want to get 'scoped because of the premalignant aspect.

Just to be clear, you're only supposed to use Prilosec for a 2 week period every few months, right?

After I go through a 2 week course of Prilosec I usually don't get heartburn again for a while. Great stuff :thumbsup:

Well the prescribe it and my mother has been on it for years. The OTC thing...i think they say something about 2 week period but i think that's to get you to try it for two weeks. I've been taking it everyday (or nearly everyday) for about...oh...3-4 years? *shrug*

Hmm ok. The instructions on the box say only 2 weeks every 4 months, so I generally follow this. Not sure what the possible complications are if you take it more often, but you seem ok... right?
