Was out at a physic night tonight and had a beef burger and roll and chips as i was starving.....by the time i got home i was having pains as bad as childbirth...forgot that this was a forbidden food.
Where were my physic powers to stop me?
Help please!
oh dear bless you good job that dont happen to me when i eat all the carrot cake love to you diddle x
So which part of your meal was the cause of your reaction?
For me it's wheat!
Sometimes it's so sensitive that I can get a reaction from something as little as eating chips that've been cooked in the same oil as batter!
I try and avoid all trigger foods, but its taken me over ten years of trial and error, and even then I still get tripped up. There's the odd time when I have a craving for a KFC and I give in and suffer the consequences.
There are also times when I have a reaction and I've got no idea what's caused it and I begin to wonder if I've got this allergy/intolerence thing sorted out after all...
It's not just the IBS, as I also get a swollen face, puffy eyes that are all gacky and sticky, swollen fingers and ankles, and I look nine months pregnant for a couple of days.
Just thought I'd share that with you all!
i can relate to the pregnacy feeling....I am usually about 6 months pregnant every night, fetching look!!!!!
Eating any food to me causes me to look pregnant!!!xx
This is so interesting. It has taken me nearly 45 years to finally discover what caused my IBS symotoms to get progressively worse, with all the above mentioned side effects. WHEAT! Trouble is, so many things contain it, so I often cheat. Even my beloved liqurice has wheat in it. The fact that I have also now been diognosed with FM after years of believing I had RA can surely be no coincidence. The 2 obviously go together. I know it is of no comfort to those who suffer, but so nice to know there are others who have the same combination of things.
My sister says this about herself too. She reckons that the only way to avoid this happening, is to NOT EAT?!?!?! Which neither of us advocate, by the way!
She hasn't got fibromyalgia, but all the females in my family seem to suffer the wheat allergy.
Not only is the wheat a problem for me but also red meat, citrus fruit, dairy products and vegetables that don't grow underground. One glass of Orange juice causes me so much pain I have real mobility problems the next day!

How can you 'forget' what is a forbidden food? I know sometimes it's difficult to resist bad foods, but if you get side effects like you experience why put yourself through it?
IBS is rather random in my life.I have now got the peppermint oil capsules to take before each meal.I find the 'labour yes pains less now.The progressive issues arecoupled with less activity and meds interactions I have found.
Food glorious food
Too bad to do anything
Neck pain bad migraines
Pain is incredibly bad
Bad headache new symptom
