First bad experience in months

Yesterday was a great day until I decided to try a sliver of German Chocolate cake that I made the day before.

 

When I say sliver, I mean thinner than my pinky finger in width. It was tiny, but 10 minutes after eating it, I knew I was in trouble.

 

I felt horrible, lethargic, and I could not get comfortable. I literally felt the gas building in my intestines. I was absolutely miserable. I decided to crash early, but as soon as I laid down, I was back up and on the toilet. It wasn't pleasant to say the least.

 

I went back to bed, but 10 minutes later I was back in the bathroom. I haven't had days like this since the post-op diet stage of full liquids.

 

I did finally get to sleep, and slept really great. Least to say, I don't think cake will be on my treat list ever again. It's crazy because I've had a sliver of cheesecake, a few snickers miniatures, with zero ill effects. Maybe the cake was just too rich?

I'm so sorry to read of your experience. I'm glad you posted this because it reminds me I still have a lot to learn about this tool.

Tiff, its really crazy sometimes I guess, I'm learning everyday things I could eat before that ain't happening now. Take for instance last night, a nice cup of dark hot chocolate...milk has never bothered me, I was thinking since the mix had milk in it also then I combined it with milk, just too much..I made my little path to the bathroom all evening...lesson learned! :)
