Had a big wake-up call yesterday/today; I went out to lunch with some friends from work, and totally forgot my IBS diet basics. It was noon, I hadn't eaten yet (I often am not hungry before noon, so need to work on the breakfast thing), and you'll never guess what I ordered...on an empty stomach, no less...a huge salad of raw spinach, aragula, shredded carrots, diced pears, grape nuts, and blue cheese. No soluble fiber, or anything else. WHAT WAS I THINKING!? I honestly thought I was headed to the hospital by midnight last night; I suffer from IBS-C, and raw veggies and salads of this nature totally shut me down. But it was like I just couldn't stop myself from ordering it and eating the whole thing. Talk about panic...things still haven't cleared up all the way, but getting there and feeling better. Lots of pain, lots of time in the potty, and lots of time to review my "sin"...I'm so grateful for this website, and the message boards, and the people that run all of this. I went to the website first thing today and re-read everything I need to remember about this condition; it truly is NOT to be messed with. I continually hope that someday I'll learn from experiences like this; though they may be fairly few and far between, in the aftermath of each one, I realize they occur far too often!! Hope everyone has a great day/week...Thanks for "listening"...
