Okay, I know I shouldnt be eating desserts to begin with, but heres what happened..
The other day, (Tuesday evening) I bought 3 cookies from my schools snack shop and ate them in class... went home, didnt really eat anything, and around 5:30 am I woke up with the beginnings of a bad stomach cramp... I drank a huge glass of ice water (like more than a liter) and went back to bed... 7:30 am, woke up, stomach was killing me, like all knotted up and if I laid on my sides it felt as though the weight of this lump was pulling itself (thanks to gravity) so that hurt.. had to stay on my back or sit up.. but I couldnt sleep.. I basically laid around and drank a ton of water until 9:30ish, where I got up and took 5 Ibuprofens hoping it would loosen up the cramping.. was able to fall asleep and by 11-11:30 am I was better... tummy was tender but didnt hurt anymore... I was like.. WOW, I guess no more cookies for me..! (This happened a week ago, same thing, bought cookies at school before class at 7pm, next morning, stomach killed, thats why Im attributing it to the cookies..)
So, Im okay now, eating regularly.. LC and all that.. and last night we went to The Cheesecake Factory, and I had a salad and everything, and we all ordered this Factory Mud Pie thing.. I had a few bites with some bites of ice cream as well, and that was it for me.. Well, this morning, same thing, with my stomach.. severe cramping, just felt like this huge lump in my upper stomach, like right under my breast... drank a ton of water hoping to loosen it up, and took some Ibuprofen again... it went away fairly quickly this morning, like within a couple hours, but I didnt lay back down like before, I just kept moving around the house hoping that would help, and it did..
So basically, Ive come to the conclusion that this sugar thing is just not working out... and god do I love cookies and ice cream and cake and all that, but apparently, my body is more focused on staying LC than my mind is.. which is good, its a definite reinforcement.. BUT has anyone had this happen to them?? Or heard of it?? Its not my gallbladder, already had that checked out.. and besides, what would sugar do to my stomach as far as cramping goes that fat and protein and fiber wouldnt??? I dont get it... Any help?? Thanks and sorry for the long post!!!! :)
