Has anyone ever been constipated but then had diarrhea all at the same bathroom sitting? Is that possible? Wow..talk about painful! I just didn't know that that was possible. I know I alternate..but like..at the same time. Well..there's a perfect explanation because: This weekend I didn't get to strictly follow the diet b/c road trip to Los Angeles..why didn't I think that a middle-of-nowhere restaurant's idea of foccaccia would include cheese?! I brought my own snacks but my aunt was with us and I was trying to act normal and eat at the restaurant with everyone. Oh..I'm dumb.

Thank goodness for the peppermint candies I just grabbed a big pawful of when we left (I was sick of the taste of 'em but..it helped the pain). And the bathroom...the music was playing loud in there..they must get a lot of people with IBS. Plus..good thing I was all the way in the back row in the car and the a/c was blowin' cause boy was I gassy. then..when we were in LA...we went to this restaurant that seriously thought that grilled meant sauteed bordering on fried and there was like no such thing as plain bread...it had to be dipped in butter.

I just picked at what I could eat and enjoyed my cousins!!!!!

It was still super fun. The worst moves were made by me (like opting for getting mylanta and immodium b/c the hotel store didn't have gasx or the immodium w/ the gas-relieving ingredient in it). I realized that mylanta is double icky cause not only does it give normal people issues..it has sorbitol in it. Ahhhhhhhhhh..silly me..but my main question..sorry for the rambling..has anyone had both at the same sitting? Okay..hopefully this post didn't sound negative cause I really enjoyed my family!
