The really bad part for me is, I LOOOVVEEE the taste of a pepperoni pizza. That first bite – OH MAN, it’s almost worth going through the ensuing GI agony. Almost. I finally realized it’s something to do with the red sauce (I think) that bothers my gut so much.
So I bought a “Margherita” frozen pizza and found it wasn’t quite so harsh on my stomach, but still had some feeling of bloating and burning in my gut. My GI tract just doesn’t deal well with pizza anymore.
It really can make it worse when you’re already feeling stressed. Also - I know that eating chocolate after eating pizza is a recipe for gastric disaster (heartburn like crazy). Apparently chocolate relaxes those little muscles in the throat that usually keep stomach acid down where it belongs. When I see those commercials for pizza that comes with chocolate chip cookies for dessert - i already feel the acid just from watching it.
Yeah and it gets more MEH as you go along. Although I really enjoyed my 50s, for some reason. I felt good, life was good, things were looking good - I dunno, it just was a good decade. Now I’m in my 60s and back to Meh again.
Well, could be. Although I wasn’t really all that happy in my 20s, Glad that part of life is over with. Some things get easier though with age - I’m a lot less fearful, and I don’t fear death at all anymore. I’ve stopped stressing over a lot of stuff. But after 50, things in your body stop working as they used to which is kinda not much fun.

I can relate. Its also less of a problem if I’m not in stress constantly. That makes it a lot worse.

Sounds not like fun tbh.
It’s not. Getting older isn’t fun either!
I agree. Everything above 30 was kinda meh…

So its a 30 yr cycle of meh? Maybe the 80s will be awesome again? ;)
