Jubilee party woes!!

[drax83]

Who's got jubilee tummy?? Had three weeks of normality, along with holy grail, torpedo shape stools, no need to strain. Wicked. Roll back to Wednesday our court had it afternoon jubilee do. I don't normally go because most of our buffets I can't always eat. But as wife put my name down weeks ago and most residents going, I couldn't really get out of it. Like a dork I got hungry before, and stupidly ate half a quiche the grub wasn't marked, but think I had a plate of coronation chicken mayonnaise sandwich another with cucumber, some mini rolls with various fillings, a handful of crisps, a helping of pasta twirls chilled. Unusually there was desserts. Not into trifle but bought back 6 mini choco fairy cakes I had three, but were creamy. Next day normal to begin with, had a very rare treat yesterday lunch we had 3 chippolatos each with crambled egg and I had three tinned Tom's. By the start of the French open tennis final. I got peckish waited till 6pm and like an idiot had a large Morrisons chick curry. By 10 pm last night I had bad colic, wind and a tummy like a balloon. Couldn't sleep for ache, wanted to pee not once but three times. Now sitting here with two buscapam in me and a parecetomel. But still getting colicky pains, and tummy churning like a washing machine. So all my good work on diets from some weeks was undone in 48 hours.

Anybody else got post jubilee nightmare tummies from this week?? All posts rewarded with sympathy!!!!

Oh drax!! I admit your post had my mouth watering. What a wonderful array of tasty food.

I don't blame you for pigging out. Just for once -hey?

Most of the food you mentioned I would adore, but know I couldn't go within 100 yards of, or the IBS demon would come out grinning at me.

Sorry you have a bad tummy now. Hoping that when it all works its way out of your system in a couple of days, all will be back to calm again. Dose up on what helps and eat really bland boring food. You should be ok.

I deliberately didn't go to a Jubilee party, though it was suggested to me this morning. But the heavy grey sky and looming rain was enough of an excuse not to go!

So, two boiled eggs and toast and some friendly veg. for dinner.

Ah thank you love. Wouldn't say I was pigging though, I really looked at this union Jack plate with fear haha. It's a shame you, like me have to avoid what should be normal to enjoy. Missus eats most things and never blinks an eyelid, making me quite annoyed. I still have nasty colic pains which come and go. I'm an anxiety mess, so parties make me nervous of lots of people, this compounds how long I can get back to normal, sometimes the wrong food and stress combined makes a flare up last a bit longer. I'm also not a fan of our courts way of leaving tables of food, instead of only bringing them out before serving, I passed my hygiene certificate, so I know all these things should not be out in warm lounge I never eat the meat, pork pies, or salmon left out, the risk of eating left out food is just a outbreak of poisening waiting to happen. Any way hoped you enjoyed the week, thanks for the lovely reply 👍

Just wanted to say that this is so well written and it kind of bounces off the page. The joy of rich tasty food is sometimes too difficult to walk away from in the knowlege that we'll be 'paying' for it later.

[drax83 in reply to Houseofpain]

Thanks, enjoy now pay later comes to mind, hope you had a great weekend👍

[drax83 in reply to Houseofpain]

Always wanted to become a writer, bit late now at 71 for me now. Thank you so much for your kind words 👍

[BabsyWabsy in reply to drax83]

Never too late. You must have a huge breadth of experience you could write about. Same age as me, and with your name, I suspect you don't live far away either. Tomorrow, I am attending a formal meeting, which will apparently be catered. I am nervous. I may slip a small packet of GF oatcakes in my pocket.

[drax83 in reply to BabsyWabsy]

Thank you Babsy. Im seriously thinking of it. Although the subject matter may be not be everyone's cup of tea. I have had a couple of erotic stories printed in certain online rooms catering for LGBT persons. Im rather complicated, and I do have a wealth of experience in understanding other genders. But I love Lesbian stories. These have become very popular since the interest and acceptable Pride events and even two girls appear as dolls with pride connection this month See Bratz celebration. So like many, I will write a paper book of different erotic lesbian stories, always about the romance or coming out of various characters. best of luck with your meeting, try to keep calm, and try and enjoy than seeing the negative side. Im sure you can pick a few titbits you can manage.😀

[BabsyWabsy in reply to drax83]

Thank you. I like your style. I have a good friend who makes a living writing erotic novels, she writes about S&M. Her main market is USA although she is UK based. Go for it!

[drax83 in reply to BabsyWabsy]

wow !!. awesome, the American market is the best, Most of books i have bought from Ebay or Amazon on lesbian fiction both new and second hand seemed to be American based, Not sure I know enough about S&M though, popular but its a niche subject, sort of? I prefer college girls, where their hot room mates have had to leave for better times, but accidently meet up again 10 years later and the sparks fly👍

[BabsyWabsy in reply to drax83]

My friend writes as Ashe Barker. She is very prolific.

[Houseofpain in reply to drax83]

Yeh, it's never too late. Loads of ways to enjoy it -write up your thoughts about any subject online/do a review of something/ a blog/ a poem/song/or just your thoughts for yourself to read.

[Snows36]

Oh dear I think your not the only one !!

[Glitterpants]

I am the same have to be so careful what I eat. I feel well so I think oh I will be alright having a little of that! Then the next day I get colicky pains small stools makes you know its not worth it. I cant tolerate alcholol either so sometimes going out is not that enjoyable. The positive note is Im alive when having lost a few friends recently brings me back to reality.

[drax83 in reply to Glitterpants]

Fortunately I don't drink. But factory frozen meals are my enemy. Fresh cooked Chinese takeaway I never had much trouble. But creamy chilled, soft cheese, and my favourite coronation chicken is. Off the menu I see lots of people here with so many delibating problems, more than just IBS. So sometimes I think although I'm almost house bound with arthritis, I love my ps4 and my gaming pc. I'm members of quite a few climate and wildlife charities, so they keep me sane and prevent me becoming a vegatable. Mental health is very important. But have much sympathy with people with hard to manage or treat issues

[Luisa22 in reply to drax83]

I'm sorry to hear you also have arthritis, drax. Put together, it's all not much fun. But I love your upbeat style. Yes, it's great to have interests, whatever they may be. I have a friendly Crow (wild bird) I have known for 6 years, and he gets a treat every morning, So when I am going through a very bad tummy day, at least he gives me something to take my mind off it for a few minutes. Nature, the landscape around me, the wild creatures (deer as well here) all are such a blessing.

Good luck with your writing!

[drax83 in reply to Luisa22]

You are a lovely lady, nature is the best therapy, and miss my huge garden we had in rented house near Poulton le fylde back in 2006. I built a 10ft by 4ft pond, some koi, in months full of toads, water boatman, damsel dragon flies emerged from the waterside plants. Green House erected, grew cucumbers that one had twenty on lovely tomatos to. Had a woodpecker once feeding from our hanging nuts. Only had two enemies, cats and herons which were intent on trying to get my koi's. Had a battle with them constantly lol

[Luisa22 in reply to drax83]

Your garden there sounded beautiful. Mine here is beautiful too, with lots of wild creatures who visit. It is very shady though for the most part as I'm surrounded by big trees. So veggies really struggle. I planted some in pots at the start of Covid, because it looked like the supermarket shelves were empty. It gave me something lovely to do while dealing with, and recovering from Covid myself. I grew Kale, spinach, peas, chives, strawberries, potatoes, all in large pots. The sunniest nicest place was ironically was the concrete area on top of the septic tank!

In the midst of that veggie display, I suddenly discovered I couldn't eat shelled peas anymore! The squirrel got some of them, and I made pea puree for the Crow's breakfast sandwich! haha (he refused to eat them whole)

Unfortunately I relapsed over the weekend. Attended a party in a working capacity, was offered a clotted cream scone which was rude to refuse. Boy was I suffering the next day. Same symptoms as yourself. I just go for it now and then and suffer the consequences 😪

[drax83 in reply to diaspur-63]

woops! When I was a lot younger And lived in Dorset, when visiting places in the West we always came back with fresh clotted cream. But When me and partner in recent times, stayed at a chalet holiday, near Dawlish, and enjoyed the scenery but no the hills, we took back some clotted cream to the chalet to have with raspberries or local strawberries, oh in the night I suffered from my sinful deed. I just adore clotted cream, but I have to protect my sanity too 😆

[Luisa22 in reply to drax83]

Oh my gosh...I love clotted cream, jams, fruits so much too, and haven't been able to eat anything like that for a few years. I wish I could eat cheese too.

[drax83 in reply to Luisa22]

Hmmm love my cheese, and of course a problem sometimes. I can eat some cheddar on a salad, as long as its small chunk, cottage cheese, dips, sof cheeses nono. (sent you pm by the way) 👍
