Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Perhaps “The Reuben Slide” (as in, how long it takes to slide into our stomachs) will be the next diagnostic tool with Achalasia, and we can do away with the forever cursed manometry test!!!!!!!! , we may just be on to something here……… in NY From: achalasia [mailto:achalasia ] On Behalf Of RICHARD Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2006 8:18 AM achalasia Subject: The Reuben > > By the way, what's a Rueben?

The Reuben is a sandwich. It's named supposedly after its inventor. If you put " Reuben sandwich " into Google, you will receive many references as to its recipe and its controversial history. One such reference follows.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 -Now that sounds like a drink. A reuben slide.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well, ya know, size really does matter. I mean, you can be talking about a Carnegie Deli Reuben (over a thousand pounds of corned beef, saurkraut, swiss, russian dressing, between two thin slices of double- baked grilled rye; or a mere Rupert Gee's Hello Deli Reuben (he uses baloney and slaw and cheddar and Wonder-Rye, which to his credit he does grill. Hi everybody. I just got diagnosed yesterday and have not yet had my manometry. I got questions! I'll make some tpics if I can figure out how. Signed, Rick " Motown. " dianaloui is my wife.
