Major hugs to you my dear. There is nothing worse than having attacks when away from home.
A year ago August before I knew about my gluten intolerance, the 4 infections I had and of the IBS, I went on a cruise to Alaska with my husband. I got deathly ill three times, probably from some grease in the food they prepared. I threw up and had diarrhea for six hours. The last morning instead of my usual oatmeal I ordered a cheese omelette and I became very ill. We had to leave the ship by 10 am. We were the last people off because I was so ill. My heart was going a mile per minute as well and I had supreme anxiety and leg tremors. I sat in the boat terminal next to the bathroom. I took Ativan and Phenergan for nausea and still felt awful and like I was going to pass out. It was horrible! I never want to go through that again. My husband gained six pounds and I lost six pounds in a week!
This summer I am going on a cruise with a girlfriend and am bringing a lot of snacks. I am going to be very careful about what I eat.
I really feel for you! Sincerely, June
P.S.Maybe next time you can bring your own food. I brought my own to Thanksgiving at a friends house. They know me and set a plain potato and veggies aside for me before they add sauce. I also brought my own food to a Christmas potluck and that was the only thing I ate! JUne
