Speaking for myself, not Jim, of course.

I used to think that it was "normal" to have a meal then have some
antacid to take care of the indigestion. Eat a pizza, wash it down
with a glass of Eno.

It eventually got to the stage that I was dreading having to eat
because I knew the pain and discomfort it would cause.

When I discovered paleo, I found I could eat as much as I wanted
and I felt GREAT after eating it!!! What a revelation!
