So I thought I would try some potato salad with my lunch yesterday. I had 1/4 cup potato salad, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 3oz of tuna - I am still in mushies stage.

I could not eat it all, but there were no issues. Then about 4pm I started to have a lot of gas and heartburn. At 6 I tried to eat a little something to see if it would calm my stomach - made it worse.

I took to bed. I got a fever of about 100.8 which persisted most of the night. As well as an upset stomach all night.

This morning my stomach still hurts a bit - its a lot better - but, I do not feel like eating. The fever is gone.

And yes, I am calling my Dr. today.

The weirdest thing about the whole ordeal, is that it happens about once a week and I tend to loose 2 or 3 pounds during one of these episodes.

Anyone else have this kind of thing?

Well, I certainly wouldn't call potato salad "mushie" or consider all that mayo a good thing. It sounds like your stomach agreed with me.

Im in the mushie stage also and that sounds like a lot of food! Im allowed 4 Tablespoons of food per meal. And I agree- potato salad isnt too mushie; try mashed instead.

4 table spoons who can survive off of 4tbs spoons of food. No offense but that sounds nuts!!!!!:biggrin:

Update:

My wife and 10 year old are sick as well. So it looks like we have a bout of the flu going around and it just hit me at the same time.
