Note to self...

... you can not eat food like a normal person so stop trying.

I haven't posted in a while because I've had a lot of tummy troubles and didn't want to sound like a Debbie Downer. But if this is a journal of sorts, and I want to reach others going through the same thing, then I've gotta share the bad too...

This sucks. I look like I'm pregnant and have stomach pains that feel like an alien is trying to escape my GI tract. I'm doing a lot better with eating low FODMAP meals and my symptoms have improved, but that's when I trick myself. "I feel great! Why not have that donut or that soy latte. I'm just like a normal person!" Then I load up on bad foods and the cycle starts all over again. Today I decided Indian food was a good idea. Followed by a chocolate chip cookie. So this is my reminder to stop it. Feeling healthy is better than cookies, Jessica.
