Anybody else over eat during the holidays. I've had a stomachache for over a week. No will power at all. Can't wait till after New Years. Got to get back to some healthy eating!!!!!!

Guilty as charged. Had a little stomachache on Sunday due to gorging myself on my Aunt's wonderful Baked Ziti and meatballs. Popped a bentyl right after and was good to go.

Holiday overeating. Yup every year. I just love the home made cookies and pie. I've been bad about my exercise bike for a few months now so I know what my new years resolution will be. To get back on it and lose my holiday weight.

Oh yeah. Totally overate. And it isn't the eating alone......sleeping in, eating one large meal a day and a bunch of snacks.....it totally screws me up. I feel bloated and HUGE!! I need to get back to a schedule, even though I really don't want to go back to work. confused

Guilty here too. I found out that there is only one thing worse than having many bouts of diarrhea during the day - having many bouts of solid formed stools during the day. Ouch!! It's like kicking out 15 seperate babies during the day. Your body can only take so much. I didn't even know it was possible to have 15 solid formed stools in a day. Whenever I eat more I poop more and I am now suffering from holiday overeating. I went to my GI today for a scheduled check up. He is now believing that I have both IBS and UC and that my UC is pretty much under control but not my IBS. We are tackling it at that angle right now.

no overeating to report on xmas... however, i did have a big piece of salmon a few mornings ago and was so stuffed that i couldn't eat the rest of the day.

@gary-Definately not the same as having 15 babies.....trust me.

EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW. I didn't think anyone could call me out on that one. I felt pretty safe in thinking that no one here has popped out 15 seperate babies in one day. I guess I'll have to take that one back but darn do I hurt!

Gary-I agree about it not being the same as a baby but I do know what you mean about going 15 times and it all being formed. I must have went 8 or 9 times and it was all formed. I know I ate more than usual but geez enough to go that many times?

Can't wait till this eating frenzy is over for me! I have the opposite of Gary . I'm bloated with constipation and gas. I'm wearing a pair of baggy sweats right now. The thought of putting jeans on now, well it's not going happen.I keep saying I'll be good tomorrow , but I'm not!!!!

Since I managed to eat what I wanted all week and avoid having any signs of blood, I tapered to 3.5 mgs of Pred this morning. Today I stayed on the couch watching the Dr. Who marathon and making it my personal mission to eat all the leftover cookies and pies in my house.

Ohhh yes especially chocolate - i get given so much of it because everyone knows how much i love it and i have no self control.  Increased meds :)

guilty.
SOMEONE had to take a bite out of the cookies we left out for Santa, right? My husband went to bed with my son so.........no the dog couldn't do it cause they were chocolate......that person had to be me. Not to mention the delicious apple pie (hey! at least I chose the one with a fruit!). Not to mention I went shopping with my mom and got an italian sausage, was only going to eat the sausage and throw the bread away but mom was in a hurry so I had to just shovel it in. Bleh. Talk about a tummy ache. OH and let me not forget the most amazing sweet potatoes at Christmas dinner...ugh.

I now know that sugar and wheat and also dairy are my triggers because since jumping off the wagon for a quick second I have noticed a major change in my tummy. It's loud...it hurts and my BM's are getting frequent.
Back to very bland for a few days and back to my regular diet again once I can get to the store! I've been stuck in the house for 2 days now because of the weather and a 2wd truck that won't go anywhere in it! Grrr!

46&crashing-thats been my personal mission too! I have however resisted the urge to open my container of cashews that my Dad gets me every year. It has chocolate covered ones in there as well as plain ones. OMG I love them!!!! I might save those too for after my scope.
