Yes if it stops the pain it will be worth it and no ginlin its so far the opposite of my normal diet its ridiculous

Breakfast I can have rice crispies with almond milk

Lunch white bread sandwich with tuna

Dinner egg 'fried' white rice - literally just eggs and rice dry fried together

I can snack on rich tea biscuits and rice cakes I think

I don't have a proper diet sheet so I'm relying on google

 

[ginlin]

Bloomin' heck!

That is tough!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I didn't even have the tuna just in case.

So I had 3 slices of white bread with dairy free sunflower spread and a bowl of rice crispies with unsweetened almond milk

The weight will be dropping off you Jaffa!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

No unfortunately
last time it happened I put on as no fibre which means digestive system is deliberately slowed down so less toilet visits.

Looks like Valentine extravaganza for me will be white pasta and white rice !

I really really hope this helps rule things out as if its not gastro then its back to gynae again

Jaffa it will be worth it if the pain stops! Sod the eating plan for a bit! And ignore the scales!

 

[janetelizabeth]

I agree, better to be without the pain Jaffa. Just a shame you had a nice meal planned but it will keep...:bighug:

Don't forget minis is going off line tonight at 9pm...probably be back when we're all asleep.

Wellington will go in the freezer. Its a good job we didn't buy anything else.

Reduction in pain will be brilliant and at least I can eat white bread rice crispies and rich tea biscuits with no guilt

 

[janetelizabeth]

I would have loved a slice of white bread for fried bread this morning and I could eat a whole packet of rich tea biscuits in one sitting!! lol. I'm quite partial to rice krispies too! Posting this just so you don't feel all alone Jaffa.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yes my husband is 'supporting' me today by having a huge bowl of rice crispies (he would live off cereal if he could) followed by a white bread bacon butty !!

Scales obviously are not my friend at the moment

No reduction in pain in fact I got terrible pains after eating the rich tea biscuits last night

 

[janetelizabeth]

Oh dear...not used to all those refined grains!
I said to Joseph the other day about the marriage vow of in sickness & in health....we've both sure had our share of that one!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Us too unfortunately

My husband didn't even get a 12 month warranty on me as within the first 12 months of marriage I had had 2 operations

The refined carbs is meant to slow down the digestive system to reduce the inflammation

But I suppose it takes a few days. If it works or if it is that causing problems

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I know life is tough and health can be fragile!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yes I know life is tough and health can be fragile!

Ain't that the truth

I wasn't even ill when I married him and was probably at my healthiest as 6 weeks after our wedding I did a 5k race for life.

It went quite quickly downhill after that

 

[janetelizabeth]

As I always say to Joseph. ...we never know what's around the corner!
Thankfully like me you've got a lovely caring husband. X

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yes I do he really is amazing

 

[Jaffa Cake]

We cancelled going out to the cinema this morning - we go most Saturday's with our friend as we all have cineworld cards but I just wasn't up to it

Instead we just walked to Tesco came home watched tv and I had a little nap this afternoon

My husband is now making me mash and baked white fish for dinner

 

[janetelizabeth]

Maybe you haven't got much energy so getting some rest time was the better thing to do. Enjoy your meal...:sigh:

 

[dsjb99]

I like mashed potato and fish, hope you enjoyed it Jaffa. x

 

[Jaffa Cake]

It was ok thank you Donna

I enjoyed my 3 slices of vegan marg on white toast more for supper

But boy I'm missing fruit and veg I'm really craving them and keep looking at my full fruit bowl
