Quick journal...we had a great time but I went off low carb Saturday night...I paid for it the rest of the weekend. We went to a Thai restaurant and I had a couple of crab ragoons and gyoza. Then I had pad see yew with shrimp (I did not eat all of this...couldn't). I was miserable afterward. My stomach hurt up top and the smell of any food made me feel sick. I also was constipated the rest of the weekend. It did not matter how much sugar free with maltitol I had to try to relieve myself it was not happening. That night my stomach was swollen...my fingers were swollen and my toes were swollen. Even DH apologized to me several times. I think up until then he just thought it was a 'choice' that I made and that maybe it was in my 'head' that I have a gluten allergy. Now he knows different. I finally went some last night but am still miserable. It was totally not worth it and I have set myself back because of it. Maybe it has something to do with TOM coming too but whatever the case it is not pretty. So I will try to get ketone strips today and get back on track and will work out everyday this week.
You know DH said one thing to me something along the lines of it is vacation don't make it difficult or something like that. When we got back to the room and I took my clothes off he saw how swollen my stomach already was and how miserable I was the rest of the weekend. I don't know if it really clicked with him or not. Probably not completely since he chose the next night to go somewhere for dinner that primarily served crepes...because he likes crepes. I had a caesar chicken salad with no croutons. So I had some egg muffins for breakfast this morning. Will pound my water and have a burger for dinner tonight and maybe even lunch too.
My body is not happy and neither am I right now.

Oh honey ... I understand the misery, I really do. My fiance' "kind of" gets it, but even he does that thing, "one bite won't hurt. One meal is okay". The last time he did that, I snapped at him. One bite, one meal DOES hurt. Literally.
I hope that you feel better soon.

Thanks Toni; it realy does hurt in a way that it is hard to explain or for someone to understand unless they have suffered it. I did get some ketone sticks so hopefully I can get myself into full blown ketosis and get my body back to feeling good quickly.
My daughter offered to cook chicken wings tonight...and I really appreciate that from her.

It's really interesting how we do get our bodies used to certain things and cannot tolerate foods. I have to keep ginger chews on hand for some nights when I stray off my clean eating path ~ just cannot handle it anymore.

It is interesting. I knew before that the breads and pastas and noodles were making me ache but since being free of them for 8 weeks...well all I can say is WOW.

Ohhhh Jaime! I hope you get thru this sooner than later! Sometimes we do think that it's ok to have one bite - this won't hurt etc etc.. but our bodies have become accustomed to eating a certain way.. I feel your pain.. The symptoms you described sounds like how I felt after my 4 day Thanksgiving eating "fiasco" .. Funny thing is - I was oh so miserable as you are describing - to this day I am still debating how I am going to handle my eating for Christmas. I should know better, I think it's a mind thing..
Don't be too upset with your honey! He doesn't have the knowledge of the diet and how your body will react.. He only knows what you tell him and sometimes if others aren't experiencing it they don't get it!
Anywho - again, I hope you get relief real soon. You have a special daughter that is going to cook something that is suitable for your stomach. :)
