There are many things I cannot eat because I suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrom) which no does not mean my bowels don’t work, (I know TMI) but I just wanted u peeps to know that is not what it always means.
It means there are all kinds of foods that irritate my bowels and cause severe pain when I eat them. Sometimes I know what those things are and other times I have no clue and it’s a process of elimination to figure it out, like when you get allergies to something.
Some things I eat because I want to and others it’s because I have to because I love them so much and refuse to stop eating them even though I know I will feel sick later.
1.) Ice Cream – I can only have Dairyland and Breyers so far. Any other type and I’m at risk for feeling my tummy twist like a pretzel all night long while I moan and groan “Ohhhh I shouldn’t have eaten that) and Corky says it serves me right.
2.) Hot Dogs. They don’t agree with me at all. Mostly because I think they are a byproduct but sometimes even the real beef ones upset my tummy.
3.) Tim Horton’s Ice Cap Supreme’s. Mmmmmm my absolute fav but I always throw up after drinking them. I guess I can’t handle the caffine or maybe it’s the whip cream. I haven’t figured it out yet lol. But I still drink one a week. Drink … Puke… Repeat. I’m a glutton I know.
4.) Hamburger. Yep good ole beef. My mother used to put beef in everything when I was growing up. One night we’d have spaghetti, then shepherd’s pie, then mac and cheese with beef in it, then tacos or nachos and finally meat loaf. I think I grew a sensitivity to ground beef because now I cannot even stand to cook it myself, Corky does it because I cannot handle the smell.
5.) Pop. Pepsi to be precise. I love pepsi but it upsets my tummy so badly I feel like one of those pop rock candies. You know the kind you put in your mouth that fizz and bubbly over making you look like you have rabies? Good times!
6.) Finally worse for me is cheese. Anything dairy really despite the fact I’m not lactose. I just shouldn’t have dairy because of my IBS and my God cheese is my absolute favorite! I love it! Medium, Marble, Swiss, White you name it I love cheese.
It’s funny how many things we like don’t like us back eh?
Until next Saturday! Best wishes!
