I happen to have this very nice graveyard shift at work (12am-8am) which has basically messed up my lunches and dinners and has started to affect my gastritis all over again. I really don't like the idea of having to move my lunch and especially dinner to a later time (sometimes at about 10/1030pm) when I have been used to having these at pretty much the same time for a while now. Was just wondering if yall have a healthy and nice suggestion on things to snack on while on graveyard so that I don't end up visiting the vending maching for fatty goodies and coke. I've kept myself drinking water constantly but that does not always seem to help. I have tried eating dinner at my lunch break (usually between 3 and 5 am), and I have tried light and heavy things to eat and they all end up in the same thing: gastritis. I was wondering what else could be done about this so that I asides from being attacked by gastritis can eat healty stuff I regularly don't! All advice is appreciated! :) TNX!

Pomegranates.
I work night shifts sometimes, and ALL I want to do is stuff my face, but what I've found is that pomegratates are really handy, because they take aaaaaages to eat (since you have to pick the seeds out more or less one at a time). One pomegratate can last me a whole night, and at the same time it's a bit like eating a big bag of sweets! Only incredibly good for you!!!

I think you have to drink medication to manage that. And drinking plenty of water really works. Try to visit your doctor for a prescribed medication. I've had the same condition for ages. But somehow, I can manage because of medicines and I tried to set a regular meal time each time I went on shifts.

Go to www.womenshelp.net. On the best exercises page they have a link for this beef jerky site. They have great no fat no preservatives snacks. Not only jerky but fruit roll up snacks, juices, etc. Its great for snacking on in between work outs and on the go! Plus they are cheaper than the regular unhealthy snacks that the stores sell! Check it out I am sure you'll love it!
