I am!!! Egg nog & rum, cookies, lots of mixed nuts, wine, jalepeno/cheese peanuts, chocolates, and of course dinner and then beer and chili releno cheese crisps!

Yes today I'm paying the price! But, it was fun.

My symptoms are just a little bit worse today due to all the chocolate, alcohol, etc. i had. Totally worth it.

Well, UC-wise, no. But how my clothes fit or what the scale would say if I went anywhere near it, yes! And in terms of how draggy and unergetic I feel, yes. But yep, it was fun!

Ha I was wondering if someone would start a thread about this.
Yes, is the answer and due to not having a "normal" dinner pre-Christmas Eve, just apps and wine, too much wine without food buffer. Price paid the next morning, actually 4 am feeling lousy, couldn't sleep.

Took a day and a half to get back to normal, VSL#3 helped along with stomach calming food like baked potato, chicken broth.

My gut is a persnickety thing, cannot fall off the wagon, food wise and liquor wise, without helluva payback.
2 hours of fun vs. 24 hours of feeling lousy, no I would not repeat.

haha, first time in years that I can say, definitely not. Maybe paid the price in an extra pound but nothing new or different so far as my colon.

I paid yesterday! Combo of corn casserole on Christmas eve and then wine last night probably didn't help.. amongst other things. But the corn turned on me with a vengeance lol. Good thing it was delicious!

I cannot have wine anymore, I literally break out into a sweat, all down my back, and so I had a gluten free beer yesterday!

I am feeling tired today though..many foods make me feel out of sorts, some seriously, but sometimes you just have to have a nice time and pretend that you are like everyone else, and then wait to collapse on your bed later.

I find being really chatty and sociable to guests on top of feeling rough from foods is exhausting for me too.

Lot of food but didn't indulged in any sweet meats only red meats lol. The price is I gained few more pounds.

I was sensible didn't eat any thing that cause me to have UC problems
Maybe turning 84 helped me to watch my diet over the holidays turn

Other than increased gas (smelly) I have so far been ok. I didn't poop on Christmas morning until 10:30, we had been up for 3 hours by then. However all the sweets I have eaten will take a toll on my waste line for suresmile

Chinese food last night, set for Mexican tonight, take a wild guess what will happen.
Along with extra booze, and a box of chocolate mint creams.
Eggnog dark rum. My guess is I will have at least one margarita in about an hour.
What a mix.
Not all at once.
Will dedicate my first one to Soystud.
Daughter is here with her for whatever reason, good colon,they like to drink.
