OK....I have a confession to make. Last night I was home alone because hubby is at our mountain property getting things ready for winter. I decided to make chocolate chip cookies to take to him when I go to see him today. Well, they were the Pilsbury break-apart cookie dough cubes that you just place on a cookie sheet and slide into the oven. Wouldn't you know it, 4 of those darn cubes wouldn't fit on the cookie sheet.....sooooo, I had to eat them! THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD!!! I LOVE cookie dough. Then I washed it down with some ice cold skim milk!!! I was in heaven! Then after they got out of the oven, I had to see how they were for hubby, so I ate a cookie!!! I know I'll probably pay for it sometime this morning. BUT, I WAS IN HEAVEN for a while!

I hope the retribution isn't too painful! I'll think good tummy thoughts for you.

I can handle cookies now, but I shudder to think what a glass of milk might do to me.

i had an ice cold coke yesterday, and some hot chocolate, albeit bittersweet chocolate, so there wasn't any milk in it... but it made me feel normal! maybe i am paying the price today, because my stomach seems out of whack? it was while i was out with some friends last night, so i was able to enjoy the same things they were.
that coke was sooooo good, and i had always been a pepsi fan! mmm, sweet caffeinated, carbonated, sugary goodness...

I hope your tummy survived the cookie dough and milk!! I couldn't do the milk for sure, but the dough, mmmmm, I miss cookie dough blizzards.

I cheated yesterday and today - I had a teaspoon of sour cream on my tacos yesterday (made with ground chicken) and today I make Shake N Bake chicken - thighs with the skin on! I only had the smallest one though, and didn't even finish it all. I bought the "prime" chicken thigh too, maybe it made the difference. So far, so good. And I'm the type if I cheat, I know before I've finished eating!!

Best of luck, hope the DH liked the cookies!

I kind of feel like a drunk who has a bad hangover and swears to never touch the stuff again.... new

I'm paying the price today! Today I'm telling myself I'll never do that again. Had to take 3 Imodium to get away from the house and to work on time this morning. And a stressful day here at work doesn't help at all either. I did enjoy the cookies, milk, and dough, though. Hubby enjoyed them, too.
It did make me feel normal for a while....

I love sour cream on tacos and baked potatoes! Doesn't it feel good to feel normal once in a while...even if we do pay the price later?

Yes...hubby loved the cookies...

I'm glad you got to enjoy some of your favorites, Caitline. Isn't it fun even if we pay for it later?

yes, it is fun. and i AM paying for something i ate last night. i actually think the coke was harmless. however, last night at my parents' house, we had a non-ibs friendly meal, even though they know i'm on a diet!! potatoes with butter on them (why couldn't they let me serve myself a butter-free portion?), lightly steamed broccoli, DARK thigh chicken meat slathered in olive oil, with onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. i had extra mushrooms to offset some of the other stuff, but they were quite oil-laden... grrr!! sooo painful right now, and i've been "going" all day.

Caitline....
So sorry you are feeling bad today. I hate it when we go to my parents house for dinner and my mom says something like this "I thought you could just pick out what you can't eat." I was raised like that. No wonder I have tummy problems.

My mom always emotionally blackmails me with food. She'll say she made a separate dish (which I still can't eat) or she'll lie about the butter/garlic/IF content in a food.

I can't tell you how many times this has happened: I'll turn down something with a floating pat of butter in it, and she'll say, "But you ate the same thing last week. I just didn't stir the butter in this time." (???!??!!)

Yeah, never mind I was sick as a dog last week...!
