So I thought I'd write about the weekend I just had as I am still recovering and thought there might be others out there who have had the same thing happen to them.
I went away for a night with my boyfriend and one his best friends to a good friends 30th. During the day on Saturday I got up early, had a smoothie for breakfast then headed off for a session of hot yoga. After this I went to the market and had a wonder around and bought I bottle of kombucha (love this stuff). When I came home I had some of my homemade granola and a couple of homemade rice paper rolls .... When we left we thought we could get some dinner on the way and we were sure if not on the way we could get food at the venue where the 30th party was. My biggest dilemma was that when the food came out it was all foods I couldn't eat .... Like nothing at all! It was spring rolls, meatballs, sausage rolls, party pies etc. all from frozen food packages so I knew everything would be full of nasties and not on the low FODMAP diet :( I was so hungry that I thought, well I'm just going to have to eat ..... I instantly found myself getting bloated and I thought 'yep I knew this would happen and it's not going to be good' after eating the food and having a few glasses of wine I found I instantly turned drunk .... It was sudden and quick. When we got back to the motel I ended up being really sick. I was vomiting for hours and just felt so so sick like I haven't in a long time.
The next day was not any better. I had the hangover from hell! I kept vomiting throughout the day and just could not eat.... It was horrible. When I eventually got home and my boyfriend put me to bed , I had a sleep and woke up feeling better. My stomach however felt like it had been ripped apart ..... I still couldn't eat ... I managed to get down some soup but my stomach just felt swollen, tender and sick :(
I went to bed and managed to get a good sleep but waking up today to get ready for work my stomach was still not better! It still felt like it had been ripped apart ..... I ate some of my granola and I just felt uncomfortably full .... I wasn't hungry all day but forced down som sushi because I knew I had to eat. I drank tea to try calm my tummy but it didn't help.
I have definitely learnt my lesson to be careful when drinking alcohol. Obviously my body is really clean on the inside from all the good food I have been consuming and my body completely rejected all the toxins and bad stuff! I think I can officially hang up my drinking boots and enjoy maybe one glass when out ....
Has anyone on the low FODMAP diet had any similar experiences where your body has just rejected something bad?
Sounds horrible!
ReplyDeleteFor me alcohol is not a problem, if i eat a proper low fodmap meal before going out and avoiding fruity drinks and beer. Red wine and vodka drinks are okay for me...
