needs to get a life
I am sitting here now with excruciating stomach cramps. The third time in a week. I'm trying to narrow down the cause.
The first time it happened, last saturday, it seemed quite obvious. I had cooked some turkey that was probably almost off. So, seemed like simple food poisoning... It would start off with a slight tummy ache, which would grow over an hour to a very sore set of stomach cramps which caused the muscles in my lower back to also ache. No position, standing, sitting would make a difference.
I used salt water to induce vomiting, it seemed to do the trick, the pain after about thirty minutes went away and didnt return until the other night.
It cant have been the same food poisoning (though the pains were identical, as was the pattern). That day I had decided to use a load of syns and my healthy extra to enable me to have a very large wholemeal bread roll, the biggest since i started slimming world!
About eight hours later the cramps came back. Yesterday evening I cooked a pastry based pie, i woke up this morning with the feeling of pain, i knew what was coming, sure enough.
If it was not food poisoning I can only think that i have developed some kind of wheat intolerance (not a problem pre diet), or, possibly a reaction to drinking too much diet soda.
The diet coke/coke zero is the only thing i can think of that is common to all three situations. This is only something i have been drinking a lot of for the last six months.
It is currently on promotion so it is possible i have drank more than normal. Maybe a litre to a couple of litres in a day.
Anyone else experienced this?
