Ok so I was in a wedding this weekend and knew I was going to have problems. It all started with the rehersal dinner, we went to Macaroni Grill. The food choices were either some sort of fried fish, pasta with cream sauce or chicken parm. I got the pasta with no sauce, but about 10 minutes before dinner started I had an attack!! Dinner was really late cause the rehersal was so late, so we got a snack before hand and I had a baked potato from Wendys... it has never bothered me before! So needless to say I didnt eat at Macaroni Grill, I ordered to be nice and let it sit there.
Then Saturday, the day of the wedding. I ate a 6 inch plain turkey sub from subway after we all got our hair done cause we knew we wouldnt eat until late. During the ceremony my tummy started to do some stuff so standing there with the other bridesmaids, I just prayed and begged for it to please pass. I made it through. The reception came and dinner was served... ok... chicken cordon blu, roast beef, buttered potatos, buttered veggies, some sort of pasta with of course butter, salad and rolls. I ate a few rolls. I made it through the reception and I kid you not, the second we started to leave my stomach started cramping. I made it to the hotel (with all the drunk people) and barely made it to the bathroom! Now pretty much the whole weekend didnt eat. Friday-wendys baked potato.. still had an attack. Saturday- 6in. sub with turkey/mustard and plain rolls-still had an attack. Sunday morning I had an attack too! I mean I dont eat and I still have attacks! Sunday the day after the wedding, we went to breakfast and I got plain white toast. Then went home and about 9 hours later I had an attack-while my husband and I were out on our way to my moms for dinner! Now I didnt want to eat but she made me plain potatos and grilled chicken with very cooked carrots. So I ate.. and actually felt better. So now IBS is just leaving me even more confused. I dont eat I get attacks, how does that make sense?! Thanks guys for listening to my rant. Hope everyone is having a good tummy day!
