    Old metabolism and digestive problems can stop you (from eating a pizza anytime you want). Those of you who can still eat pizza, shovel as much of it as you can down your pizza hole while you still have the ability to eat it. One day you’ll find you’ll wish you hadn’t had any the night before.

    Pepperoni pizza is my favorite food. I haven’t been able to eat any of it for 30 years. If I were on death row, it would be my choice for my last meal.

        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.
