Soozie | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 10:17 pm  Eddie is belching so very much that it seems he has a physical problem. He must be having discomfort. If he has no physical problem then it is also possible that he has gotten in the habit of swallowing air. I like so much about Eddie, his spirit and charm, wit and many other endearing ways but I really think someone who cares about him should explain just how much this personal habit/condition is going to get in his way in any field of work. He probably could use a work up by a physician specializing in gestroenterology to find out just what is going on. Maybe one of you can get this message to someone who can assist him. |
Snowgirl | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:30 pm  I thought I remembered hearing early on in the show that he had some sort of lingering stomach problems related to his illness. I could be wrong. I seem to recall George saying something about how Eddie couldn't/wouldn't eat certain foods, but I may have assumed more than was said. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:33 pm  Snowgirl, I recall that too....I thought that he was referring to radiation or chemo that affected Eddie's digestive tract when he was treated for bone cancer. |
Brutus | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 05:43 am  The drugs used for his chemotherapy are very damaging to the digestive tract. |
Ryn | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 05:50 am  I am sure eddie has very competent care. |

Tarotot | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:16 am  His chemo was 10 years ago. It's not effecting him now. If he is lactose intolerant, and eats the way he does, of course his digestive system hurts. |
